Healing Through the Storm: Release the Weight of Grief Through Faith

June 9, 2025

I’ll never forget the moment I watched my mother take her last breath after a long battle with breast cancer. I had already lost my stepdad, my brother, my grandmother… and now her. My world fell apart piece by piece. And for a long time, I carried that weight in silence, smiling on the outside while screaming on the inside.

That pain birthed Divine Destiny Solutions.

But this blog isn’t just about my story, it’s about how you can begin to release what’s been silently weighing you down too.

What If Healing Wasn’t a Destination… but a Daily Decision?

Grief doesn't go away overnight. But healing is possible when you take intentional steps to process what you’ve been through. If you’ve felt stuck, spiritually numb, or emotionally exhausted, here are 4 transformational tools that will help you move forward with purpose:

1. Reflect Through Guided Journaling

You’re not weak for writing out your pain, you’re wise. A journal that asks the right questions can pull out buried feelings, spark clarity, and invite God into your healing process.
→ Tip: Use journals that include prompts and room for raw honesty. Not perfection, just truth.

2. Give Yourself Permission to Grieve Spiritually

Grief and faith can coexist. It’s okay to say, “God, I don’t understand.” What matters is bringing that pain to Him instead of hiding it.
→ Prayer doesn’t require pretty words, it just requires your heart.

3. Anchor Your Emotions with Scripture

You may feel broken, but God has a plan beyond the pain. Try meditating on verses like Isaiah 41:10 or Romans 8:28. Write them down. Say them aloud. Let the truth of God’s Word drown out the lies that you’ll never recover.

4. Stop Healing Alone

Whether it’s through a counselor, a coach, a community, or healing tools, you were not created to carry grief in isolation.
→ Our book, journal, and t-shirt bundle was designed exactly for this, to help women like you feel seen, supported, and spiritually equipped.

Your Next Step Could Be the Start of Your Breakthrough

Very Helpful

When i first got the book, i didn’t know how it was going to help me, but the book has taught me ways to speak to someone that is grieving. I never could formulate the right words but now i can. Also, I will be gifting this book to members of my family since we have had some recent losses. I’m sure this book will help us heal and understand that we are not alone! Thank you Portia Hall Turner for sharing your journey!

Great Book!

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book and it came at the perfect time for me being that I am grieving at this time. It was very helpful to read that someone else experienced the same feelings and emotions that I am currently facing. Very well written with an organized thought process. Looking forward to more books from the author!
