250. Why Can't I Stop Thinking About My Grief—and How to Find Relief

Your mind won't turn off. Every thought seems to loop back to your loss—what you should be feeling, what you shouldn't, what this means about you, why you're still here, and why nothing seems to change. You're not falling apart… but you're not really living either. And the more you think about your grief, the more trapped you feel inside your own head.

In this episode, I want to help you name what's actually happening when grief pulls you inward like this—and why thinking harder about your pain isn't bringing the relief you hoped it would. We'll look at what Scripture says about this mental spiral, why it makes so much sense in grief, and how God offers something different than endless self-analysis.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Why grief naturally turns you inward—and when that starts working against you

• The difference between self-awareness and getting stuck in your own head

• What Scripture reveals about why thinking harder doesn't lead to healing

• How God gently leads us out of mental spirals and into spaciousness again

If you've been living inside your thoughts, trying to understand your way out of pain, I want you to know—you're not doing grief wrong. This episode is an invitation to breathe, to soften, and to consider that relief may not come from figuring yourself out, but from letting God lead you out of the places you've been stuck. You don't have to carry this alone. God is closer than you think—and He is not rushing you.
