Grief is something we all experience, yet most of us don't know how to talk about it, process it, or support others through it. In light of the recent LA wildfires and devastating tragedies, this conversation is more important than ever. Today, we're diving deep into grief, trauma, and healing with licensed grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa, who has spent over 20 years helping individuals and families navigate loss. Gina is the author of the bestselling book Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go and a leading voice in grief literacy. In this episode, she breaks down why society is often “grief illiterate” and how we can shift the way we approach loss. We also explore how families can grieve together, how to help children process loss in an age-appropriate way, and what it truly means to heal. Gina shares invaluable insights on self-care during grief, why healing doesn't mean forgetting, and how to support loved ones without unintentionally causing harm. Whether you're navigating a personal loss, supporting someone through grief, or simply want to better understand how loss shapes us all, this episode will change the way you think about grief.  Mentioned in the Episode: Gina Moffa's Website Grief Coaching with Gina Moffa Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go: A Modern Guide to Navigating Loss by Gina Moffa On Death and Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and Their Own Families by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross QuakeFeed You've Got Mail (movie) All Fours: A Novel by Miranda July  A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts and follow us at @sonypodcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is brought to you by BUBS Naturals and Audible. I sat down in-studio with Gina Moffa, LCSW, a grief and trauma therapist and author, to explore the tumultuous landscape of grief—a journey that tests the resilience of our nervous system and thrusts us into the survival mode of the 'grief fall.' Gina shares her insights on the physical and emotional upheavals that come with significant loss, from the shock of a terminal diagnosis to the sudden absence left by a loved one's death. As we peel back the layers of our grief responses, we touch upon the unpredictability of personal reactions, and the complex process of enduring a human wound that fundamentally alters the fabric of our existence. Gina and I also shed light on the societal pressures and myths surrounding grief, such as the notion of a 'normal' timeline for healing. She highlights the often overlooked aspect of grief's individuality, mentioning that the path to resilience is not paved with familiarity but with personal significance. We challenge the expectations placed on those grieving to quickly resume their roles in a productivity-driven world and emphasize the importance of honoring the unique rhythms of our emotional recovery. Wrapping up, we delve into the ongoing nature of grief and the importance of self-compassion as we navigate its enduring waves. Gina provides comfort and understanding for those who fear regression and reminds us that moments of overwhelming emotion are not setbacks but a natural part of the grieving process. Join us as we discuss the significance of self-care, the courage to face grief's unpredictability, and the recognition that healing is not linear but a continual evolution alongside our losses.

Gina opened up about the challenges she faced in 2020, balancing the process of writing her book while supporting her clients amidst the collective struggles of the year.

Gina Moffa, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice and feels wholeheartedly that the people who sit on her couch are courageous. She shares in her latest book, Moving on Doesn't Mean Letting Go that "some of them would shudder to hear me call them “brave,” but it's true." Grief may be one of our most universal emotional experiences, but that doesn't erase how isolating, confusing, and profoundly painful it can be. It takes a lot to look at your pain head-on, to see what's under it. Currently residing in New York City, Gina has helped thousands of people seeking treatment for grief and trauma. She knows first hand how hard a time people have in expressing their emotions, struggling to access their vulnerability. In this episode, Gina takes us through that forbidding voice echoed in every person who has told someone going through grief to get over it or move on. After hearing it so many times from so many different people, Gina shares that it makes perfect sense that so many people haven't figured out how to be where they are in their grief experience. And Gina feels it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that we are living between the shock of the loss and the expectations of others. I hope you leave inspired by this conversation with her and give yourself permission to disrupt your own patterned thinking of what you think grief should look like, and recognize that it gets to look exactly as you see it.

I had such a great discussion with Gina Moffa for this episode. Gina is a therapist specializing in grief and loss, and she has a brand-new book out this week: Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go: A Modern Guide to Navigating Loss. I was honored to read an advance copy and provide an endorsement for her terrific book. Perhaps the best way I can introduce our discussion is to share what I wrote about her new book: “If you don't have a therapist on speed dial—or even if you do—Gina Moffa's Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go will walk with you through the disorienting and devastating experience that is grief. Helpfully, she tackles both the inner grief journey and navigating the world at large while grieving. Moffa shares important information on the mind-body connection as it relates to the grief experience, helping us understand how important it is to listen to what our bodies are trying to tell us. An important chapter called ‘Grief's Sister, Trauma' is not to be missed. A must-read for those who are grieving the loss of someone close.” -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.

Perhaps you know you have to make a change in your life, but just don't know what it is or where to begin. I'm truly humbled by my work in helping people to find their way. Every day I'm moved and thankful for the trust and faith people put in our work together. I feel so fortunate to be the travel companion on one of the most important journeys someone will ever take— the journey of healing, finding meaning, and seeing joy in their life." https://ginamoffa.com
