About this listen

Grief has a way of testing everything we believe. It can challenge our faith, disrupt our routines, and quietly ask questions we never expected to face. In this episode of SHIFT, Tyila and her husband Pastor Marcelto Cooks speak openly about loss, tragedy, suicide, and the different ways grief shows up in a person’s life.


They share how grief tested their ability to stay rooted in purpose without allowing bitterness to take hold. Through honest reflection, they discuss the importance of spiritual foundation, the role of presence over fixing, and the power of leaving space for God to do the healing work only He can do.

This conversation honors the reality that everyone grieves differently. Some need quiet. Others need community. Some heal through action. Others heal through time. What matters most is learning not to impose our process on someone else’s pain.


If you are navigating loss, supporting someone who is grieving, or wondering how purpose and pain can coexist, this episode offers compassion, wisdom, and hope. It is a reminder that grief does not disqualify you from purpose, and healing does not have to be rushed.

Stay ready, shift higher.
