You’re Not Alone: The Part about Grief No One Talks About

---

Grief is one of the few things in life we all will face, yet no one talks about how to truly prepare for it. It is one of life’s greatest certainties and one of its toughest journeys. Grief can be messy, confusing, and isolating. It can shake us to our core and make us question everything. Yet, it also offers a chance to grow in ways we never expected. It calls us to embrace vulnerability, lean on community, and discover strength we didn’t know we had.

In this moving episode of No Grey Areas, pastor and author Greg Tonkinson shares what few people are willing to talk about: how to walk through grief with purpose, honesty, and hope.

But grief doesn’t start the day tragedy hits. According to Greg, it begins long before that, in the choices we make, the truths we believe, and the foundation we build when life is still calm. Because it’s inevitable that grief will come, but it doesn’t have to break us.

“You can’t prepare for a specific tragedy—but you can prepare for grief by deciding today what kind of person you’ll be when the storm hits.” – Greg Tonkinson

Whether you’re walking through loss now, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to understand this universal experience better, this episode offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement to face grief with courage and grace.
