Growing Through Grief: Finding Purpose in Life’s Struggles - Bonus Interview with Dr Julia Verdouw
About this episode
Almost everyone, at some point, will encounter suffering—be it through a relational breakdown, illness, an unexpected event, or other hardships. But how do we make space to grow through grief and find purpose in our suffering?
In this insightful interview, Dr. Julia Verdouw shares her personal journey through profound loss following the sudden death of her husband, which she explores in her new book, "Valley of the Shadow." We discuss her experiences of confronting finality, and the critical importance of not 'wasting' our suffering. Dr. Verdouw’s candour and courage will leave you both inspired and hope-filled, even as you navigate life’s setbacks and suffering.
