Deuteronomy 15:7-15There is nothing in Scripture that says we should make personal gain our motive for giving. God doesn't want us to catch the vision of getting. He wants us to catch the vision of giving.“Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.”Luke 6: 30-35 I. The Selfish HeartDeuteronomy 15:9 “Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought…” II. The Grieving HeartDeuteronomy 15:10 “You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand.”Selfishness can attack us before we give, but grief can attack us after we give.When we get God's perspective on money – when we understand that God owns it all – it is easy to give it when He asks for it.III. A Generous HeartDeuteronomy 15:14 “You shall supply him liberally (generously) from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your winepress. From what the Lord has blessed you with, you shall give to him.”IV. A Grateful HeartDeuteronomy 15:15 “You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today.”When we're grateful, we're generous. Genuine gratitude to God is a rare and powerful thing.

It's a new year, but many may be struggling to move forward if you are still grieving from a loss. Dr. Marianne Bette talks about how to heal a grieving heart.

Over time, he was contacted by hundreds of other people who felt the same way. Mike's book, "Voices of the Grieving Heart," is a collection of over 160 deeply authentic poems, short essays, and images contributed to him by 83 people whose loved ones died.

Grief can often times be a topic we shy away from and one that causes us to feel uncomfortable. Although we may try to avoid having these difficult conversations, one thing that is certain is that we will all experience some form of grief during our time here on Earth. Today's episode is not only one that is dear to our hearts, but one that causes us to reflect and embrace the hurt. Join us as we dive deeper and discuss our experiences on grief with our very special guest Yollande Kadesi Kayembe, founder of the R.O.S.E organization. To those who are grieving we are praying for your peace, comfort, and for God's presence to be felt so heavily throughout this season.

61, Homicide Loss - LVM ADVNTGE Don't let the LOSS take over your MIND, use it to your ADVNTGE.Rebecca Benny was 17 and in high school the day she had to gather her friends and tell them her mom had been killed. She was closer to her father than her mother at the time, and she has been left with the task of figuring out her complicated relationship with her mother now as a motherless daughter. Besides gathering her friends that day to tell them the news, it wasn't typical of Rebecca to speak about her mother, Luz V Minda. Today she's 24 and has started a podcast in order to voice her own story and to be a voice for others experiencing homicide grief. Join Rebecca in her very first episodes and travel with her on her literal journey from the dark to the light. Rebecca began sharing her story from a couch in a dark room. 13 episodes later, she has started to show her face and has just released her first True Survivor Series sharing other homicide loss survivor's stories.Rebecca's Advice: That guilt should be on the person that committed the crime. Not us, because we didn't do anything wrong. It is important to keep their name going. Don't stop talking about them.

We're wrapping up our Grief Series in collaboration with Gabby Jimenez of The Hospice Heart, featuring social workers Isabel Stenzel and Lisa Pahl of The Death Deck.  After discussing prolonged grief, helping children manage grief, and dealing with grief for someone while still providing care for someone else, we've grown in our understanding of how grief affects our lives.  Gabby says that being stuck in grief really hit home with her.  The situation of being unable to move through grief is very real.  For Helen, Isabel's guidance about how children grief was so helpful.  As Isabel said, “If you're old enough to love, you're old enough to grieve”.  Sometimes it's hard to look beyond our own personal grief to consider the emotions and needs of someone else. Jerry talked about how grief can last for years, and those emotions can wash over us when we least expect it.  The Heart of Hospice was honored to collaborate with The Hospice Heart, and to share the wisdom that Isabel and Lisa have to share.

In episode 5 in our Grief Series in partnership with Gabby Jimenez of The Hospice Heart, hospice social worker Lisa Pahl of the Death Deck is back to talk with us about managing grief for a loved one while still providing care for someone else.  Multiple losses can be overwhelming, and Lisa reminds there's no magic answer.  It's important to assess whether you can step back from current caregiving responsibilities and let someone else take on some of the work, even if it's only temporary.  Hospice professionals have to ask themselves the same question as they move from patient to patient.  Being specific about what's needed when we're grieving is helpful as well.  It can be overwhelming for a griever to have to make another decision about asking for help from other people.  When you offer to help a griever, it can help to offer a specific service, task, or support.  Sitting at a bedside, running errands, cooking a meal, babysitting for children are all good ways to ease the caregiving burden.  This can take some responsibility off the griever, and make their burden a little lighter.

Part 4 of our Grief Series with Gabby Jimenez of The Hospice Heart features bereavement social worker Isabel Stenzel, with a focus on grief in children and young adults.  Younger people navigate grief differently.  As hospice and bereavement professionals, it's important to remember to respect the instinct and wishes of the parents. There are numerous ways children can be connected to someone who's dying - writing letters and cards or drawing pictures.  If we're old enough to love, we're old enough to grieve.  A time of loss is an opportunity to teach a child how to navigate a grief journey.  It's important to prepare the child for what the child might see, like changes in body appearance or abilities to communicate.  Explanations about death should be provided according to the developmental level of the child.  Adults instinctively try to shield kids from experiences with death and dying, but kids can develop healthy coping mechanisms if appropriately involved in the death of a loved one.  How adults cope with grief greatly influence how a child grieves, so it's vital for adults to care for themselves and get the grief support they need.  Using creative activities to create meaning and providing support that's age appropriate can enable a child to navigate a loss in a healthy way.      Resources for grieving children include: National Alliance for Children's Grief - childrengrieve.org The Dougy Center - dougy.org Sesame Street YouTube videos Connect with Gabby Jimenez and The Hospice Heart at thehospiceheart.net.  Find more information about hospice philosophy, end of life care, and self care for both personal and professional caregivers here.  Send your questions and comments to host@theheartofhospice.com.  We'd love to hear from you!

In this episode I share candidly from my heart what grief looks like a year later after losing my son to cancer. How I didn't grieve well from the beginning and jumped into serving with good intention but also out of fear of feeling the full weight of my grief. But I'm learning you can't hide from it, it's going to be hard, it's going to hurt and for a long time. And it's ok for me to struggle with that and have hard days. I don't have to be strong because when I am weak, He is my strength!
