Episode 76 – Stuck in Sadness: Why You Feel Stuck After Loss (Even When Life Moves On) (Part 1 of the “Is Happiness for Everyone But Me?” Series) Have you ever felt like the world was in full color… but you were seeing in black and white? After heartbreak, grief, divorce, betrayal, or unexpected loss, it’s common to feel emotionally muted — not falling apart, but not fully alive either. In this episode, Coach Del explores: Why grief is more than death How unmet expectations quietly reshape identity The danger of “functional sadness” Why emotional numbness feels safer than hope How joy often returns gradually — like sunrise Scriptures (NLT): Psalm 34:18 Psalm 30:5 Reflection Question: Where have I accepted black-and-white living because color feels too risky? This episode is Part 1 of the 4-part series: “Is Happiness for Everyone But Me?” 🎧 Tune in next episode as we unpack why it feels like everyone else is moving on.
