What if you stopped asking what if

Dr. Dandridge Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2436800/fan_mail/new] Grief often brings an endless stream of questions: What if I had done something differently? What if I had called one more time? What if the doctors had found it sooner? What if they were still here? In this episode of Sit With It, Dr. Wendel Dandridge explores the painful “what ifs” that so often accompany grief. Together, we’ll examine how regret, guilt, second-guessing, and unanswered questions can keep us stuck in the past—and how we can begin to move toward healing without having every answer. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a season of life, this conversation offers practical insights and compassionate guidance for navigating the mental and emotional loops that grief can create. You may not be able to change the past, but you can learn how to live faithfully in the present. Join us as we sit with the questions, honor the pain, and discover a path forward. https://buymeacoffee.com/DrDandridge [https://buymeacoffee.com/DrDandridge]
