"Depression is a commonly accepted form of grief. In fact, most people associate depression immediately with grief--as it is a "present" emotion. It represents the emptiness we feel when we are living in reality and realize the person is gone forever.    Scriptures: Isaiah 9:6; Psalms 9:9; Matthew 11:28-30; Psalms 34:17-18; Psalms 23:4   If you need to contact Pastor Shonda, you can do so by calling (813)702-1001 or via email: [email protected]   *****GOD BLESS YOU***** And thank you all for listening to FROM PAIN 2 PURPOSE PODCASTS!!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/support

"Depression is a commonly accepted form of grief. In fact, most people associate depression immediately with grief--as it is a "present" emotion. It represents the emptiness we feel when we are living in reality and realize the person is gone forever. In this stage one might: Withdraw from life Feel numb Live in a fog Don't want to be around others Don't feel like talking Experience feelings of hopelessness The world may seem to overwhelming" (PSN) I want to encourage everyone that not everyone grieves the same. We all grieve individually and it takes TIME to heal. Face your feelings and never let anyone tell you how to feel.  Scriptures: Philippians 1:6; 1Peter 5:6-7; John 12:32; Psalm 121; and Jude 1:24-25.   If you need to contact Pastor Shonda, you can do so by calling (813)702-1001 or via email: [email protected]  ****GOD BLESS YOU*** And thank you all for listening to FROM PAIN 2 PURPOSE PODCAST!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/support

Bargaining takes place within the mind by trying to explain the things that could have done differently or better. Bargaining never finds a permanent solution.

You cannot bargain your way out of the death of a loved one. Ecclesiastes 5:5 says: “It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.” Please stop making promises you know you are not going to keep. I love you and there is nothing you can do about it ❤️❤️❤️💕💕 ‭ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastor-shonda-obi3/support
