Grit and Grace Life writer Jodi Schultz shares what she told another woman who doubted her worth: that the only person who can determine your worth is the one who created you. And because the One who created us is God, we have infinite value and we are loved.

By Our Grit and Grace Life Videos / Relationships

Nothing embodies “grit and grace” quite like a grief journey—and this is true whether the person grieving is you or someone you love. Grief brings about a rollercoaster of emotions that vary with each individual. No one grief journey is the same as someone else’s.

But in doing so, we stumble over our words, offer empty phrases intended to be encouraging, or try
