Parables of Grief--When Bodies Speak, Hearts Heal

Parables of Grief

Send us a text

Grief often speaks a language that our hearts understand but our bodies may also echo. Join me, Mama Bear Wendy, on the Parables of Grief podcast as I unfold my personal story of battling idiopathic episcleritis amidst overwhelming grief. Discover how emotional turmoil can manifest physically and why it's crucial to listen to these signals. Through my journey, I explore the profound teachings of the Gospel and the heartwarming melodies I share with the children in my congregation, highlighting how the Savior's light guides us even when faith feels distant. Inspired by the resilience of Job and the wisdom of Elder Kent F. Richards, I invite you to embrace patience, humility, and faith in your own healing journey.
As we navigate this terrain of sorrow together, we touch on the unique paths each individual takes toward resilience and support. I introduce my resources at mamabearwendy.com, offering the Five Pillars of Resilience group and personalized support to remind you that you're not alone on this journey. With a virtual bear hug, we pause to breathe deeply, acknowledge our shared experiences, and hold onto the promise of hope and healing. Let's find strength in community and courage in our shared stories, knowing that brighter days are ahead.

"Wendy has a beautiful way of sitting in the deep end of the ocean with you. Her presence alone is healing. She meets you where you’re at and doesn’t push you any further than where you want to go. She gently nudges you into new places with new perspectives. She is highly intuitive, sensitive and compassionate. She brings a depth to the table you rarely see. Her experiences have given her an extraordinary level of understanding and a safe place to walk to as she is a safe harbor fill of strength and integrity. She is raw and real and beautifully vulnerable and she is exceptional at conveying the words that are hard to find. She is a rare one." Christi D.
