Today, I'm talking with Shelby Forsythia, the author of Your Grief, Your Way and Permission to Grieve, and podcast host of Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss. Shelby will be looking back to her early twenties when grief pulled the rug out from under her in the form of losing her mom. Life as she knew it ended, forever changed by this event. We're talking about this crushing blow, the aftermath, and most importantly, the comeback that put her on a different course, one that allows her to help others reclaim their power and their peace of mind after a devastating loss. What to Listen For: Who was Shelby before grief turned her life upside down? "I loved myself before my mom died... and I think there's a temptation that a lot of grieving people have... because they can't go back to the old self. They hate them, but I actually really loved the girl that I was before my mom died. I was in college. I was in my senior year of college, and I had these grand extraordinary dreams of becoming a C-suite executive in an advertising firm. I knew that I had a gift for words, and it was reinforced by my professors and my classmates. And I thought I would be writing copy for the world's biggest brands and helping sell things or sell services or sell causes that were going to change the world." The worst possible cherry on top of four years of back-to-back losses Fracturing with several smaller losses before the biggest loss broke her Rejoicing after her mom had been declared cancer-free Thinking her mom had pneumonia and discovering the cancer was back and had rapidly metastasized "By the time we got the news, that there was nothing more they could do. It was December 19th, and they said now's the time to call in hospice. Anything that we could do now at this point would be a matter of time, not a matter of cure. We can buy you time. We can't buy you life anymore. And so we called in hospice and got everything set up at the house. And I think they predicted, I mean, whoever knows what doctor's numbers are based on, but we thought we might have six weeks to six months or so. And then she died in seven days." The black hole that followed her mom's death The moment she felt the line was drawn in the sand "I got a call from my dad as we were getting our coats and getting up to leave. We were literally getting sliding out of the booth at this diner. And I got the call from my dad, and I remember walking outside, and there were two sets of doors. I remember pushing both sets of doors open and getting about five feet away from her car, but still where traffic was coming in and out. And I just dropped to my knees on the pavement. And I immediately started crying. I felt it was as if I couldn't hold up my own body anymore. All the strength I had, almost all of the life force that I had was just gone in an instant. And I had to be picked up off of the pavement. I was literally weeping and wailing in the parking lot of this diner, December 26th, 2013. So it was the day after Christmas people were, you know, treating their Christmas hangovers with French fries and diner food, and gosh, I remember it being cold and hard. I think those are the sensations I remember the most. It was cold outside, and the ground was hard... and thinking back now, I've never thought about this before, but it was very metaphorical of a world without my mother felt very cold and very hard. And so that feels very appropriate as the place where it all came apart." Feeling like she was no longer a participant in her life but simply along for the ride Feeling like she'd been wandering in the woods with no GPS for over two years Losing her passion for her dreams "In my mother's death, it was like, all of my dreams for the future also died. And it wasn't even that the dreams themselves died; it was that my passion for the dreams died. And so I would look at those things and be like, yeah,

In this conversation with Shelby Forsythia she shares about the “four years of hell' that she and her family lived through, which in hindsight she is grateful for because it's allowed her to understand others who experience grief. They faced many different types of grief, one thing right after another, as if they could not catch a break! It all started when her dad lost his job, then shortly after he was diagnosed with two brain aneurisms. Not too long after that Shelby shared with her family that she was gay, which tested their relationship. Then her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and after a short time undergoing treatment, she died the day after Christmas. Shelby shares with us all about her grief journey, and the tools she has found to be helpful through her grief. She is now the author of several books on the topic of grief, Your Grief, Your way and Permission to Grieve as well as podcast host of Grief Book Review and Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss. She an intuitive grief guide she is helping people reclaim their power and peace of mind after devastating loss.

In 2013, Shelby Forsythia was barely into her twenties when her mom died of cancer. This loss propelled her into a search for information, understanding, and community. In that search, Shelby wrote Permission to Grieve, created a podcast, Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss, and started a grief coaching practice. We talk about grief as rebellion, stolen wallets, and queer identity and grief.

Emily Harman, the host of Onward Podcast, interviews Shelby Forsythia, author of Permission to Grieve and host of the podcast entitled Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss. After the unexpected death of her mother in 2013, Shelby began a deep dive into studying grief and beginning a lifetime mission to investigate the human experience of loss. Through her book, weekly podcasts, and one-on-one grief guidance, she helps grieving people find direction, get support, and cultivate radical self-compassion after devastating loss. Shelby Forsythia is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, Reiki Level II Practitioner, and Intuitive Grief Guide. Her work has been featured on Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine. She currently lives in Chicago.   Episode Highlights:    Emily Harman introduces Shelby Forsythia. What constitutes or defines grief?  How long should grief last?  How can you prepare yourself for grief?  What are some action steps for coping with grief?   Honor that the person who we were before the loss is now gone.   There are triggers for grief that can remind us of difficult situations that we are grieving.   Shelby explains the 1% Rule of grief.  What would Shelby recommend to her 21-year-old self when she was grieving the loss of her mother? No matter where you go, you take your grief with you.   It’s a reality that we don’t always like everyone who dies.  Not forgiving people can become a poison where your brain lives and stays stuck.   Your grief belongs to you but if you want a joyful life, your grief can be reframed to make that joy possible.  Shelby opens up about her experience of her mother not fulling accepting her.   Pets are a source of unconditional love.  What was Shelby doing during 2014-2016?  Shelby describes herself as ‘a perpetual student.’  Step into the life that loss has forced you to live.   Emily talks about losing her ex-husband, her dog having to have all of her teeth pulled, and going away for three days to unwind and to feel the grief she experienced after the passing of her children’s father.    3 Key Points: Grief can be experienced when something in your life ends or changes and you can never go back to the way things were before.  People who are grieving and people who are watching people grieve are speaking two different languages. You can never speak the language of grief until you grieve yourself.  Check in with people that are grieving and remind them that they are not alone instead of trying to fix it and let them know that ‘I hear you. I see you. I can’t understand what is going on but I understand that this is hard for you.’     Tweetable Quotes: “I can’t teach you how to grieve. But I can teach you how to love yourself while you are doing it, and that’s where a lot of relief comes in for people because they think that they have to fight the fact that grief is happening.” – Shelby Forsythia “What helps is recognizing that grief is a part of you and who you are and a part of your story, and then learning how to edit that story so that you can develop that long-term relationship with grief.” – Shelby Forsythia   “Prepare for grief: the best thing that you can possibly do is study empathic listening or intuitive listening or holding space or all of these words that are floating around in our vernacular lately about listening.” – Shelby Forsythia  Resources Mentioned: Shelby Forsythia’s Linkedin Shelby Forsythia’s website Shelby Forsythia’s podcast Life After Loss Academy Shelby Forsythia’s Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   Book - Permission to Grieve Book - Maybe You Should Talk to Someone What’s Your Grief?

Intuitive Grief Guide and Podcast Host of Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss, Shelby Forsythia is a Certified Recovery Specialist, Grief Coach, and Reiki Practitioner. Joining Chelsea 5:45 minutes in, she opens up about her first memory of having "a voice," how losing her voice is correlated very strongly with heartbreak—–the feeling of hopelessness and losing power——and how her voice returned to her in a new way after losing her mother to cancer, which was her biggest lost to date and an experience that shattered her open, rendered her voiceless, and has now made her a student of grief.Gems to look out for:+ the one fright that doesn't exist for her+ how long it took her to get her voice back+ there's a point where helplessness tilts into surrender+ after heartbreak, the things from the life before return to you in the life after but they don't look the same; they've been taken apart and reassembled+ the first time she registered her voice was coming back+ grief was a leveling up of her voice that she didn't ask her+ grief is like an involuntary scavenger hunt+ we don't choose, for the most part, the griefs we experience in life but you do choose the elements you try on in life and whether they work for you+ recovery from any kind of heartbreak needs a certain level of sovereignty+ you can't go on the scavenger hunt with other people telling you what to do, try on, or be+ there's a perception in grief culture about being able to make the pain go away + pain doesn't necessarily decrease but it's about learning how to talk with it, sit with it, and how to ask it questions+ the importance of personifying pain+ loss doesn't come along to teach us lessons but the pain we experience does carry a message+ the solution is in the witnessing of pain+ the benchmark for healing is no pain but in ability to coexist with it+ pain versus fear+ resilience is a thing that is practiced; it is more skill than anything+ the heartbreak of not only her engagement ending but in her ex becoming a person who had never known before+ the healing power of Reiki + the privilege and relief of being suspended in somebody else's attentive space without having to explain yourself+ how her fascination with spirituality connects her to her mom's devotion to religion+ learning that her mom wasn't ignorant or a bigot for fearing for her sexuality and her relationships with women+ the hardest part to accept about her mom's death+ the toxic phrase of "at least"+ the hardest conversation she had with her father after her mother's death+ how another woman living in her parent's house is another cause for grief and simultaneously the appreciation she feels for having both a maternal and female presence back in her home+ overtime life grows around the lossPlus, so much more.__To connect with Shelby, visit her:Website: http://shelbyforsythia.comServices: http://www.shelbyforsythia.com/grief-coachingComing Back Podcast: http://www.shelbyforsythia.com/comingbackPodcast via Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coming-back-conversations-on-life-after-loss/id1236608896Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelbyforsythiaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shelbyforsythiaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo34-FLEEdl7JSdzGisfr3w__Work with Chelsea: www.breakupward.com/shopChelsea’s website: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter: bit.ly/tyhbletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakConnect and send in your questions and/or letters viawww.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakOr by email: Chelsea@breakupward.com

  Today's Guest I'm excited to introduce today's guest, Shelby Forsythia. We recently met online, and then I was a guest on her podcast, Coming Back. Grief is something that I honestly don't give much space to in my life, so it wasn't surprising that being on her show triggered a lot of stuff for me...in a good way. Since then, I've been talking a lot with business friends about the dips we all experience in business and what we need to be, do, and have in order to come back from those challenging bits. Shelby is an expert on grief, so I'm very excited to be talking about this with her. She's got a very unique perspective on grief, and she shares some super practical tips on coming back from grief in business. About Shelby Shelby Forsythia is an Intuitive Grief Guide who gives people the tools, space, and support to come back to life after loss. Her mom's death in 2013 sent her on the path to becoming a lifelong student of grief and she uses what she learns to equip others with the knowledge to heal and remind them that they are not alone. She is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, Reiki practitioner, and host of the weekly podcast Coming Back: Conversations on life after loss. She currently lives in Chicago where she enjoys talking to plants and flowers, biking by the lake, and smiling at total strangers.
