Ep 36: A Whole New Level of Grief

This is the epic conclusion to our 3 part series with Curtis and Crystal, walking through the absolute "shipwreck" of their lives right now.

They're grieving their spouses deaths...

Curtis' step-children's dad passes away...

Their wedding was canceled...

Old grief is being brought to the surface as they navigate death, grief, the legal system...

Their ways of managing the overwhelm have them feeling disconnected...

There's no way you could make up something like this. It's just too much.

And yet...

By God's grace, they are here and they keep going.

Join me in this final instalment, and please...pray for them.
