The Grief Podcast
Words That Stay With You
Powerful reflections from Dr Tony Evans and Dr Craig Allert about grief, presence, remembrance, healing, and carrying love forward.
Grief does not have a timeline. You do not reach a point where you simply get over it. I hope I never get over my father’s death, because getting over it means I have forgotten him. I see grief as a way of honouring the person who has died.Dr Craig Allert
Healing does not require forgetting. We can move forward while continuing to honour the person we love.
Grief says to the person who died, “You mattered to me.”
I do not need comforting words. I need someone to sit with me.
Grief is often described as the emotional response to love that has been lost.
Supporting someone who mourns tells them, “You matter to me.”
Grief has a way of bringing people together.
Sometimes grief leaves us without words to say to God.
Moving forward does not mean dismissing the person or the loss.
Living well can become a powerful way to honour someone’s legacy.
Joy can still emerge from the ashes of pain and loss.
Nobody passes through life completely untouched by grief.

Watch The Interview AgainWhen Grief Hits Hard
When Grief Hits Hard
When grief hits hard and the whole world moves
While I am still learning what I have lost
They tell me time will carry me through
But there is no clock on a love this true
I do not have to hurry my heart
Or hide these tears when grief hits hard
When grief hits hard, just sit with me
You do not need words to rescue me
Let me remember, let me cry
Let love and sorrow stand side by side
I will not forget to learn to heal
I will carry the love that I still feel
Some days a photograph brings you near
Some nights your memory becomes a tear
A birthday comes and the pain returns
The heart remembers what still burns
But I will remember more than goodbye
I will remember the love in your life
When grief hits hard, just sit with me
You do not need words to rescue me
Let me remember, let me cry
Let love and sorrow stand side by side
I will not forget to learn to heal
I will carry the love that I still feel
And when I laugh, I will not feel ashamed
I will keep speaking your precious name
The love you gave will live through me
In how I serve and who I will be
From all these ashes, hope can start
And joy can rise in a grieving heart
When grief hits hard, just sit with me
You do not need words to rescue me
Let me remember, let me cry
Let love and sorrow stand side by side
I will not forget to learn to heal
I will carry the love that I still feel
I will carry the love.
I will carry you still.
