A lot of practitioners in the mental health field want grief to be included as a defined mental illness/diagnosis in the DSM, like depression is because it can be just as damaging and difficult. 💔
This is when you begin to pray over your spouse. Pray and intercede for him and as Yvette said find ways to fill your own love tank. You do that by seeking out God to fill those spaces when your spouse is not meeting the mark.
I ‘be had a few close people who have passed recently, and I’m in a state of grief right now but I’m getting through it with God’s help. Heavy subject tonight one day at a time though. Shalom Shalom ❤❤❤
This episode brought me to tears. Grief is something we all experience at some point and that literally does not make it any easier. My husband’s mother is sick and we are keeping faith she will heal, but it’s scary. I am asking myself how I can support him? How can I help him through this? You guys really talk about the important things in life.
Yup. This was good My personality is closer to Yvette’s but to say that grief hasn’t had me in a chock hold over the past 4 years would be a lie. Grief is such a weird experience. I lost two very important people within a 3 year timeframe and it literally makes you feel like a wound that was finally starting to heal, got reopened and pulled at. But God. I’m really grateful to know Him and that He allows us to be angry with him. To express our frustration and sorrow to him. As often as we need. Cause He’s equipped for it. Whew.
I love that you and your husband share this mutual interest. I know those are some great morning conversations. The best part is that you’re both already well equipped to handle any of the matters that could potentially arise. I truly love this for you both. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏾Blessings BIG BIG L💞VE - 🌺InspirationByB, a branch and affiliate of ⚜️HairByB
1:06 Yvette! It’s great when you’re participating as much as possible on the intro. Your energy, leaning forward, a little bop, it makes a difference! Thanks to both of y’all for rap singing every time! I’m already hype for HMAY? Live!!
This was so vulnerable and relatable thank you Glen ❤ praying u and the caller’s husband receive the peace that surpasses all understanding as you navigate your grief. 🙏🏾
I am just like Theo, from childhood until now. I wonder if that is a personality type or something. I just need STRUCTURE and ORDER and in a family of 9 it was always chaos and being late.
@OgechiIbebuchi The last thing on my parents' mind was communication!!! Explain themselves??? To their CHILDREN?? It was practically against God and their culture to them.
I was literally just in my head all morning, thinking about how much I struggle with order and structure. My son is going to kindergarten, and I'm so nervous about inadvertently sabotaging his education the way my mom did mine--always late for school, never had what I needed because my parents couldn't be bothered, always getting picked up late or forgotten. I'm not sure it was "inadvertent" for them, but it would be for me. It's making me emotional trying to figure out how to change the overall lack of structure I've been living with all my life. Oh, and I'm from a family of 9. I don't recognize the dog in your picture, so I don't THINK you're my sibling. Could be though, iono. 😂
I sound like a broken record but IT’S true though. The only answer is prayer… Another book recommendation though is Grieving with God through pain and suffering by Timothy Keller Mrs Melanin and Beleaf, you are phenomenal parents too. ❤🎉 Keep it up.
Thank you for sharing your grief story. I think one thing that helped me...I actually heard in a speak from Joe Biden - " You are not going to always feel this way and sometimes the memories that make you cry ( right after someone leaves), will be the memories that make you you smile at some point."
This helped me realize that I stopped going to church because of my grief/losing my Mom…I was angry and didn’t want to try to have relationships with anyone!!!
Definitely one of those situations where the wife’s as well as the husband’s “FAITH” is being tested. God has shook up their normal, and is trying to call them back to his kingdom. For the husband, God may have been trying to demonstrate that he needed more Glory from himself , more obedience in the husband’s faith . For the wife, God may be trying to redirect her focus from the husband/marriage to himself. Their comes a time in marriage where I believe that God wants to test, if you truly love him on your own and love him more than you love your spouse or your life. Prayer changes things. The very struggles you endure in life, are in the very area you lack belief that God can correct.
MY HUSBAND LOST 3 FAMILY MEMBERS IN ONE MONTH. IN 2019 HIS UNCLE,HIS MOM,HIS COUSIN. 1 WAS HIS .MOM SHE WAS ON DIALYSIS AND SKIPPED APPOINTMENTS NEXT HAD A HEARTATTACK. MY HUSBAND WENT THRU IT .A YEAR LATER MY GRANDMA THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WAS VERY CLOSE TO DIED OF CANCER.A YEAR LATER MY HUSBAND FAVORITE UNCLE DIED OF CANCER.A YEAR LATER ONE OF HIS COUSIN MOM DIED. SO WE HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE FUNERALS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. NOW ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WERE PRETTY OLD AND SICK. BUT STILL TO MANY FUNERALS. SO WE STARTED GOING TO THERAPY IN 2020. BECUASE THAT AND 2020🤦♀️
I believe that too. “Live Your Best Life.” If I should lose my life, my hope and wish for those who loved me is to live out their best lives. Think of me, and continually choose life. Real Talk. 🙏🏾Blessings BIG BIG L💞VE - 🌺InspirationByB, a branch and affiliate of ⚜️HairByB
Glen needs to have a serious conversation with Yvette about her self-confessed "sugar addiction" because that means she's intentionally heading right into an early cancer grave, unless she can look after her health properly. Our bodies have no spare parts, so there's that too. She needs to be alive for her children and husband's sake, as y'all are depending on each other to keep the family together.
I’ve been listening to you guys constantly every week for the past few months and I think I need to send in an email . Also I would love you join the retreat with a friend but limited finances but I’m claiming the next retreat
When someone dies, it is just the revelation of what flesh is intended to do. It is intended to expire. Our flesh is corruptible. Our flesh is not intended to live forever. God has nothing to do with death. The death in our flesh does what it is supposed to do, which is die. The “life” we think we have in our flesh is actually death. True Life, through Christ, can never be subject to death. But death is subject to its own nature.
45:50 I feel like I realize that even sadness or grief affects people differently. Wife can put her self in another place and try to find happiness husband it doesn’t matter where,literally need to be in a mental state of mind.
My mom shared with me some words that really impacted her which was "I might be angry at god, but thats okay, because he can handle it."
A lot of practitioners in the mental health field want grief to be included as a defined mental illness/diagnosis in the DSM, like depression is because it can be just as damaging and difficult. 💔
My son is 44 now, and I still feel happy and proud when someone tells me about a good thing he has done.

The grief discussion is very triggering for me… brought back a lot of emotions… I appreciate you guys sharing your experiences. 😢😢❤
Yo, this may be one of y’all’s most important episodes

My family is the same way. Without structure (and communication), chaos is bound to ensue. I'm from a family of 7

To honor the death of someone you are very close to is to "live your best life".

She said that’s how I pickem she made me die laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The idea that God takes our loved ones for himself is on the greatest deceptions of the Devil!

I don't know if u can use sugar addiction legitimately, Many of us love sweets and can't turn them down. I don't think we are all addicts😬
She should definitely go to church and visit family even if he stays home
EwwwWeeee! My Theo's name is Taj!!
Kick the habit with the five hour energy drinks... not good for you
❤😊❤😊❤😅❤😊❤😊😊
