The Losses No One Talks About (and How to Let Yourself Grieve) | Nicole Langman

Sudden sadness. Bursts of irritability. If that sounds familiar, you may be carrying grief you haven't recognized—and naming it is the first step toward bringing it to God, healing, and moving forward.

In this conversation, Ellen and licensed therapist Nicole Langman explore the often-overlooked losses that can leave us grieving even when no one has died. Together, they discuss:

• Why we compare our pain to others—and why we don't have to
• How grief can show up as anger, guilt, shame, or even relief
• Why joy and sorrow can exist at the same time
• How to recognize, name, and process the grief you're carrying
• What to do when you're asking God, “Why?”
• Practical ways to bring your grief to God and begin healing

Nicole also shares how Scripture and honest prayer can help us remember that God is near in our pain.
