Joy’s mum died when she was 16, a month before her birthday. She worked in the hospital and died from Covid. It was hard because Joy never expected it to be her who would experience loss from Covid. Her mom was her best friend, but her faith, family and friends pulled her through.
Joy spoke about the verse Isaiah 57:1, and recommends the movie Human Resources on Netflix. She says Season 1 Episode 9 captures how we should be willing to except grief and see it as part of the healing process.
Joy’s Take-Away: The grieving process is never going to end; emotions happen and it might be any little thing that brings grief back and that’s normal. I was ready for the process to end and I realized that grieving is normal. I was then able to move on with my life when I realized that it is normal. Being a Christian helps with the grieving process.
