Don’t Rush Your Healing: Giving Your Heart Time to Recover
Today’s episode explores one of the hardest truths about healing: Your heart heals on its own timeline — not the one your mind thinks it should follow.
Del shares a raw, moving story about saying goodbye to her grand-dog Mr. Peppers and the unexpected sign of comfort that arrived the very next day. This full-circle moment becomes a powerful lesson in letting your heart take the time it needs to recover, even when you’ve accepted the reality and made peace with the decision.
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why healing isn’t linear, why readiness doesn’t replace grief, and how God often brings quiet comfort long before He brings clarity.
In this episode, Del explores:
Why being “ready” doesn’t remove the emotional sting How grief and peace can co-exist in the same moment The quiet ways God comforts us when our hearts are tender Why emotional healing can’t be rushed or scheduled What it looks like to trust God’s timeline over your own How to stop pressuring yourself to “be okay” before you really are Journal Prompt:
Where in my life am I rushing myself to “be okay,” instead of honoring the time my heart truly needs?
