Podcasts about Grief

This week's episode of I'm Fun Now is a gathering. In this deeply personal episode, Sazan shares the grief she's been carrying as she watches the suffering unfolding in the Middle East, particularly among her Kurdish people, while life continues on at home. Rather than avoiding the heaviness, this episode makes space for truth, prayer, and the quiet presence of God in the middle of heartbreak. It closes with hotline prayers sent in for the Kurdish people, Iran, and anyone carrying grief right now.Call SazGPT Hotline: hereWatch on video: hereFollow us on Instagram: @imfunnow.podcast,Follow Saz on Instagram: @Sazan Visit the website: here Shop Sazan's Amazon Storefront: here I'm Fun Now finds: hereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Silence is one of the most misunderstood skills in leadership, communication, and life. Many people rush to fill quiet moments with explanations, reactions, or noise because silence forces awareness. It removes the ability to perform, defend, or control how others perceive us. This episode explores why silence feels so uncomfortable and why that discomfort is often a signal that something important is happening internally.The conversation breaks down how silence functions as a power move in high-pressure moments, not because it dominates a room, but because it regulates the nervous system. Troy shares how learning to pause instead of react creates clarity, steadiness, and intentional communication. The episode explores how silence can either trigger fear and old emotional patterns or become a stabilizing force, allowing you to respond with precision instead of impulse.Personal stories are woven throughout, including experiences with conflict, rejection, grief, and preparing for defining moments like public speaking and delivering a TEDx talk. These moments highlight how silence carries different emotional weight depending on context, and how the body often reacts to pressure as if every moment carries the same level of threat. The episode connects this to fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses, and explains how silence can help interrupt those patterns before they escalate.The episode also explores how silence builds trust and presence in professional settings. Speaking less, pausing longer, and choosing restraint often signal confidence and credibility more than volume or speed. Listeners will hear how silence can shift power dynamics in business, leadership, and relationships, while also demanding emotional discipline, self-control, and a willingness to sit with discomfort.Ultimately, this episode is about mastering silence as a form of self-leadership. It is not about withholding communication or avoiding hard moments. It is about knowing when silence serves you, when it sharpens your message, and when it allows you to own a situation without forcing it. Silence works, but it comes with a cost, and this episode challenges listeners to decide whether they are willing to develop the discipline required to use it well.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by model, activist and general whirlwind of greatness JESS MEGAN!A deluxe edition of the podcast this week as Pip catches up with Jess, which as you will bear witness to, is no average catch up. While they worked together on the 'Dark Summer' Speech Development merch shoot back in 2016, which seems like mere months ago, that was an entire decade ago it turns out. And as with life in general, it also turns out that an almost insurmountable itinerary can intervene. In Jess's case, without treading on any of what you're about to hear, there's been an immense amount of grief, varying degrees of addiction, depression, and in case you need any sensitivity warnings, there is frank discussion of suicide - so please know that before you begin this episode.Of course, among the heavier elements of the conversation, a huge amount of light enters - Jess and Pip are lovely people and you're in safe hands, as hopefully you'll feel aware of by now. There's a lovely balance of the fun and the far more serious, including a lot of fascinating chat regarding social media and the like. But importantly, even if this situation doesn't mirror one of your own, there will likely be familiar moments or perhaps some which might be of help for others going through it. However you meet it, you'll emerge at the end in a different spot, and hopefully have found a glorious new friend in the bargain. A valuable, intimate but ultimately incredibly powerful conversation right here folks.PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting natureJESS IGSPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTOREPIP TWITCH • (music stuff)PIP INSTAGRAMPIP TWITTERPIP PATREONPIP IMDBPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

What happens when your best day collides with your worst? In this conversation, we sit down with poet and author Rachel Eliza Griffiths to discuss her memoir The Flower Bearers. Rachel shares the story of her wedding day, which became both the best and worst day of her life when she learned of her closest friend Aisha's sudden passing. Together we explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the power of our chosen sisterhood, and what it looks like to survive multiple traumas within months. Rachel opens up about navigating anger, shame, and eventually healing, while honoring the love that sustains us through unimaginable loss.

Kyley and Eva sit down to talk about what has been happening in North America around ICE, immigration enforcement, and the wave of fear, grief, rage, confusion, and moral distress many people are carrying in their bodies right now. They explore what happens when institutions dehumanize people, how fear spreads through communities, and why numbness can start to feel like a survival strategy. At the same time, they reflect on the quiet, often unglamorous work of staying human: letting grief be present, allowing anger without letting it harden into hatred, and remembering that compassion does not require self-destruction.This is a conversation for anyone who feels torn between caring deeply and needing to protect their own mental and emotional health. What we cover

When Christina Babich's partner, Alex, died suddenly from a brain aneurysm while they were visiting his family in Italy, her world shattered in more ways than one. In addition to the grief of losing the person she loved and the future they were building together, Christina was also left to navigate the aftermath of a deeply traumatic event - one that profoundly impacted her nervous system, sense of safety, and identity.  In this episode, Christina shares what it was like to grieve a sudden, "out-of-order" death while also navigating the derealization, hypervigilance, and other ways the trauma of his death affected her. She talks about how being a "quasi widow" shaped the care and recognition she received and why platitudes about resilience and post-traumatic growth can sometimes feel alienating rather than supportive.  Christina also reflects on how her personal experience shaped her work as a psychologist specializing in grief and trauma, including the role of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the pressure placed on people who are grieving to "transform" their pain, and the importance of being witnessed by someone who truly understands.  We discuss The difference between grief and trauma - and how they often coexist Derealization, PTSD, and nervous system responses after a sudden death What Christina means by "quasi-widow"  Why platitudes about strength and growth can feel harmful How Cognitive Processing Therapy was helpful for her Grieving lost identities, futures, and imagined lives  Finding connection with others who can relate  Living day-to-day when the future feels overwhelming  Connect with Christina Website: https://www.christinababich.com/ Substack: christinababich.substack.com

So many of us learn this lesson far too quickly after loss: how to make everyone else okay.In this episode of Journey to Grateful, we explore the hidden emotional labor of grief—the way grieving people often edit their truth, soften their pain, or say “I'm fine” to protect others from discomfort. Inspired by a powerful piece of writing from Jessica Everett-Ellerman, this conversation examines why managing other people's emotions is not part of your responsibility as a griever—and how telling the truth about your grief can be an act of self-care, not selfishness.We talk about why grief doesn't heal in silence, why honesty matters even when it's uncomfortable, and how releasing the need to make grief palatable creates space for real healing—for you, and for those learning how to walk alongside you.If you've ever felt pressure to shrink your grief to make others comfortable, this episode is a reminder: you are allowed to tell the truth. You are allowed to take up space. And you do not owe anyone comfort at the expense of your own healing.

Gray divorce is one of the fastest-growing divorce trends, yet it remains one of the least talked about experiences. It is not just the end of a marriage. It is the unraveling of decades of shared life, identity, routines, and expectations. In this episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by gray divorce coach Maryjane Sweet for a deeply moving conversation about what it truly takes to navigate this transition with intention, emotional awareness, and integrity. Susan and Maryjane explore why gray divorce can feel so destabilizing, especially when it arrives unexpectedly, and how the loss extends far beyond the marriage itself. They talk about grief, identity shifts, nervous system overwhelm, and the invisible emotional labor women carry as they try to hold themselves and their families together during profound change. What You'll Learn Why gray divorce is not just a legal ending, but a profound emotional and identity shift after decades of shared life Why rituals around loss, such as leaving a family home or removing wedding rings, help create closure and support healing How daily anchors like sleep, nourishment, movement, and connection are essential tools during divorce Why adult children are deeply impacted by gray divorce and how parents can model integrity, resilience, and self-compassion How focusing on how you want to feel can help guide decisions when the future feels like a black hole Why coaching support can be critical during gray divorce and how it helps women move forward without getting stuck in the past About the Guest  Maryjane is a gray divorce coach and consultant. She combines the lived experience of ending a 26-year marriage with deep professional training to help women navigate the emotional and practical complexities of gray divorce. She holds a master's in Organizational Behavior and is an !CF-certified PCC coach with over 1,500 client hours worldwide.

Episode Overview  If you've been struggling with betrayal for a long time despite trying multiple healing approaches, this episode reveals why well-meaning practitioners and proven methodologies often miss the mark when it comes to betrayal-specific recovery.  Key Topics Covered  Why Life Coaching Isn't Enough  Life coaching excels at goal setting, accountability, and mindset shifts  Works beautifully for career advancement, relationship improvement, and business growth  Falls short for betrayal survivors because you're not starting from the same place  When betrayed, your reality is shattered and your nervous system is in crisis  The Therapy Gap  Traditional therapy covers diagnostic criteria, CBT, trauma treatment, and mental health conditions  Post Betrayal Syndrome® isn't in the DSM yet, so therapists don't know to look for it  Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment with staggering symptom statistics  Physical, mental, and emotional symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, hypervigilance, sleep and gut issues all share one underlying cause  The Trust Rebuilding Misconception  Relationship coaches often focus solely on rebuilding trust with the betrayer  Multiple aspects of trust are shattered: trust in yourself, others, your intuition, and your judgment  Rebuilding trust with your partner is actually the last piece, not the first  Why Other Modalities Fall Short  Trauma-informed training: Doesn't differentiate betrayal from other traumas  Somatic training: Critical for nervous system regulation but doesn't address the complete framework  Attachment training: Valuable for relationship patterns but doesn't address identity shattering  Grief counseling: Helpful but betrayal involves grief PLUS reality disruption, identity crisis, and complete trust shattering  The Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™  General trauma treatment doesn't account for betrayal-specific stages  Someone in Stage 2 presents very differently than someone in Stage 3, 4, or 5  Understanding the stages reveals why certain responses occur and what's needed to progress  The Timing Problem  Right tools at the wrong time backfire  Stage 2 (shock/trauma) clients aren't ready for accountability structures  Stage 4 clients don't need basic nervous system regulation anymore  Proper healing requires the right modalities at the right stage  The Stage 3 Trap  What a Stage 3 Life Looks Like:  Surviving but not thriving  Managing and suppressing Post Betrayal Syndrome symptoms  Keeping people at bay out of fear  Building a safe but flat life  67% of betrayed individuals prevent forming deep relationships to avoid being hurt again  84% have an inability to trust again (out of 100,000+ studied)  The Ripple Effects:  Limited depth in relationships  Challenges with workplace collaborations and partnerships  Inability to trust yourself, your judgment, or your perception of reality  Attracting more of the same situations  Making decisions from Stage 3 thinking versus Stage 4 or 5 thinking  The Solution  Why Specialized Betrayal Training Matters:  All aspects need rebuilding: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual  Requires a proven roadmap through all five stages  Not just talk therapy, not just somatic work, not just goal setting—all of it together at the right time  Updated PBT Certification:  Newly revised certification modules  New exam, experiential exercises, forms, and worksheets  Designed to help clients identify their current stage and move to the next one  Makes it easier to work with clients using stage-specific tools  Key Statistics  Over 100,000 people have taken the Post Betrayal Syndrome assessment  67% prevent forming deep relationships due to fear of being hurt again  84% report an inability to trust again  The Bottom Line  There's no reason to stay stuck in Stage 3. People need to get back to their lives, their work, their kids, families, and friends in the way they can only do when they heal.

In this introduction to our 10-part grief series, we'll explain why a podcast about joy is diving deep into grief—and why you can't truly have joy without grief. During this series, we'll mainly lean on Francis Weller's "gates of grief." And importantly, as we move through these gates, the goal is not to help you "get over it" or rush through some prescribed grief stages so you can dismiss "bad" feelings. Instead, we'll explore more about the healing power of grief, how you can see and accept loss with less resistance, and we'll share some practices and realistic ways you can build skills to navigate grief in more nourishing ways.  p.s.

You've listened. You've prayed. You've read the books and tried the suggestions. And yet… you still feel stuck. If you're a grieving mom who keeps searching for relief but can't seem to find it, this episode names what's really happening beneath the surface — and why trying harder isn't the answer. Many grieving moms stay caught in survival mode, absorbing more and more information, hoping the next insight will finally bring peace. But grief doesn't heal through endless input. It heals when faith is given structure and space to move. In this episode, you'll hear the story of a woman in Scripture who tried everything for twelve years — and how one small step of faith changed everything. Inside this conversation, you'll hear about: Why grief can make thinking feel safer than taking a step The difference between hearing truth and moving with faith How survival mode keeps grieving moms stuck Why relief doesn't come from knowing more, but from taking the next step What the woman with the issue of blood teaches us about faith, risk, and healing If you've been worn down by suggestions and still don't know what to do next, this episode offers clarity, Scripture, and a steadier way forward. You don't need all the answers. You just need the next faithful step.  

In this heartfelt conversation, Stephanie Jordan and Michelle Bader Ebersole talk honestly about the ongoing reality of widowhood—the part that doesn't end after the casseroles stop coming. They explore how loneliness can linger long after others expect you to be “better,” why continued support matters, and how community and friendship can make the difference between surviving and truly healing. This episode is a reminder that grief is not a season—it's a journey—and no one should have to walk it alone.Grief doesn't disappear—it evolves, and so does the need for support.The hardest part of widowhood often comes after others move on.Loneliness can surface months or even years after loss.Ongoing check-ins matter more than people realize.Grief is not something to “get over,” but something to carry with support.Community plays a powerful role in long-term healing.Acknowledging continued pain helps widows feel seen and understood.Resilience grows when people consistently show up.Friendship can be a lifeline in seasons of deep loss.My website: https://thestephaniejordan.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thestephaniejordan/FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheStephanieJordanLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thestephanie-jordan/TikTok: @The.Stephanie.JordanTikTok link:  https://www.tiktok.com/@the.stephanie.jordan?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thestephaniejordan.Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1958441007 (BIB book) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1W6SQNK  (BIB ebook) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM63F993 (TDS books)The Narcissistic Bride of Christ Amazon Links:US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJYQ1G6RClick HERE to learn about the Widow Goals Support Program Click Here to learn more about the upcoming Widow Goals retreatClick HERE to order Michelle's book Widow Goals: Steps to Finding Peace When You Lose Your SpouseClick HERE to order the Widow Goals WorkbookClick HERE to order the Widow Goals Workbook Leader GuideClick HERE to apply to be a Widow Goals Group LeaderClick here to be sent an email on the anniversary of your spouse's passing, wedding anniversary, and more Click HERE to review Widow Goals on AmazonBook Michelle as a speakerGo here to see a list of all the areas we have Widow Goals Groups⁠⁠To join our podcast listener community, send me a message here.

There is a space every artist enters that no one prepares you for—the space between what you know is possible and what your life can currently prove.In this episode of Hyphens Haven, I'm speaking from inside that space.The world feels heavy. The political climate is loud. Grief and optimism are living side by side. And still—the desire to work, to create, to build something aligned refuses to leave.Between the Vision and the Evidence is a meditation on what it means to keep going when the evidence hasn't caught up to the calling yet. We talk about the quiet grief of unmet timelines, the discipline of creating without proof, and why alignment—not clarity—is often the truest compass.This is for the artists who are still showing up with tears in their eyes. For those who feel early, not finished. For anyone learning how to create honestly in the middle of uncertainty.I also share why I created The Artist Alchemy—a community born from the belief that artists were never meant to do this alone. There truly isn't another space like it in the world: one where ambition and tenderness coexist, where artists gather not to compete but to alchemize, especially in moments like this.Because when artists come together with intention, we don't just create work—we create what our souls need to keep moving forward.If you're between the vision and the evidence, this episode is for you.Now is a great time to act on your dreams!

In this episode of The Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor sits down with hospital chaplain, writer, and grief expert J.S. Park for a deeply grounding conversation about grief, presence, and what it means to live with an open heart in a world that can feel overwhelming. They explore why grief is not something to fix or overcome, but something to honor, carry, and let transform over time. Kino reflects on communal grief in the Ashtanga world after the loss of a spiritual teacher, and J.S. offers compassionate insight into why we reach for solutions, why closure can be a myth, and how grief changes shape rather than disappearing. Together they talk about treasured objects and rituals as anchors when words fail, the ways spirituality and community can either support or collapse under real-world suffering, and how spiritual practice must include our shared humanity and collective responsibility. J.S. also shares his path from atheism toward faith through witnessing love in community, and they unpack the tension between the teachings of Jesus and the harm done in the name of religion. This episode is for anyone holding loss, navigating a crisis of faith, feeling exhausted by "move on" culture, or looking for a spiritual practice that helps you show up with tenderness and integrity. Guest: J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, writer, and grief educator. He is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. Topics covered • Grief as something to honor, not solve • Why "closure" is not the goal and grief changes shape • Grieving the dream, not just the person • Treasured objects and ritual as grief anchors • When words fail and the role of art, music, and practice • Faith crises and spiritual seasons • From atheism to faith through love and community • Spiritual practice, justice, and resisting dehumanization • Boundaries, self care, and what actually sustains us • Mortality as an invitation to live more tenderly, now Resources As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve by J.S. Park Practice with Kino on Omstars Continue the conversation on the mat. Omstars is Kino's online yoga platform, offering thousands of classes, workshops, and in-depth courses designed to support a sustainable, lifelong practice. Members can explore teaching, philosophy, strength, mobility, and mindful movement from anywhere in the world.

One of the most common questions I receive is how to show up consistently for our work and medicine when the world is aching and in so much turmoil. What's going on is not meant to be separated, compartmentalized, put in a drawer in the basement of your psyche. It's meant to open our eyes. It's meant to transform our work and birth our leadership.

Some struggles don't make sense.You do the work.You try to heal.And yet the same emotional patterns, grief, anxiety, or disconnection keep resurfacing.In this special Grief 2 Growth episode, Brian D. Smith welcomes back Dr. Lotte Valentin, medical doctor, psychotherapist, ancestral healer, and two-time near-death experiencer, for a profound conversation about inherited emotional patterns and why some challenges may not have started with you.Dr. Lotte shares how grief, trauma, and unresolved experiences can be passed down through generations—encoded not only in DNA, but in the nervous system, language, and subconscious. These patterns, she explains, often surface when someone in the family line finally has the awareness and capacity to heal them.✨ That may be why this conversation found you.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260130dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 1 John 2:14 Renewed by the Light Before you go camping in the woods, be sure to check that your flashlights all work properly and the batteries are all new. You will be far away from the artificial lights illuminating the cities and suburbs. Many thick trees can block the natural light of the stars. Unforeseen clouds and rain might also douse the light of a campfire. Before facing a new day in this dark world, be sure to check that your spirit is recharged with the truth and grace of Jesus. We are still living far away from heaven's glorious light. The things of this world that are supposed to bring us happiness are merely artificial lights that quickly burn out. Unexpected temptations threaten to plunge us into sinful decisions and right back into the darkness of fear and shame. We constantly need to recharge the lights of Jesus' truth and love in our hearts. John tells us how: “I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” The evil one still accuses, deceives, and seeks to destroy faith. Yet John dares to speak in the past tense: “You have overcome the evil one.” This victory is not based on present feelings or visible success, but on Jesus' finished work. By his cross and resurrection, Jesus has already defeated Satan. Faith clings to that victory. In ourselves, we are weak. Our faith wavers, our resolve collapses, and our obedience is imperfect. But in Jesus, we are strong. Those who live in the word of God will have the word of God living in them. It will renew your faith in Jesus’ victory. It will continually rekindle the joy in your heart that Jesus has overcome the darkness of evil for you. Keep living in the word of God, and the word of God will live in you, reminding you daily that in Jesus, you are strong. Prayer: Jesus, Light of the world, shine in my heart. Forgive my sins and fill me with your love so that I may walk in your ways and love my neighbor as you have loved me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

WARNING: This episode contains conversations about suicide and suicide ideation and may not be suitable for all listeners/viewers. How do you experience Jesus fully after coming to Christ? How can you continue to experience Him when life is full of pain and difficulties?Naeem Fazal has an incredibly powerful testimony of how he first encountered Christ. Born into a Muslim family, Naeem experienced a supernatural experience as a young adult that forever changed the trajectory of his life. The cost was significant as he grew to know Jesus more intimately—eventually becoming a pastor—and faced being disowned by his loved ones. Later, he walked through his father's attempted suicide and the sudden loss of his brother-in-law, moments that ultimately allowed him to show his family how they, too, could encounter Jesus in a personal and transformative way. In his bookTomorrow Needs You: Seeing Beauty When You Feel Hopeless, he explores how fear can be our greatest enemy and how life with Jesus leads us into a new way of living—not from fear, but from love.In this episode, Davey and Naeem talk about the supernatural and spiritual warfare, the differences between the Western and Eastern Christian experience, and how to navigate the estrangement that can arise when you choose to follow Christ.If you've ever longed for a deeper connection with Jesus in the midst of hardship, this conversation will encourage you that—even in your wrestlings—you can find the intimacy with Him that your heart desires.

From a SAND Community Gathering (December 2025), Francis Weller joins SAND co-founders Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo for a wide-ranging conversation on grief, initiation, and the sacred thresholds of a changing world. They speak of rough passages and necessary descents—of what must burn away, and what endures. With Francis's steady guidance, sorrow, longing, beauty, and vulnerability are reclaimed not as weaknesses, but as profound sources of strength, orientation, and soul knowledge. Rooted in the soulcraft teachings of his book In the Absence of the Ordinary, the dialogue unfolds in a spirit of reverence and remembrance. Together, they explore the unraveling of the familiar as an invitation into deeper belonging—grief as a living portal, and beauty as a practice of staying close to what is sacred, even in times of descent.

In this episode, I'm joined by Alex Beattie, founder of The Divorce Planner, to talk about what actually helps in the earliest stages of separation and divorce. Alex is a divorce prep coach who works with people before they hire attorneys or mediators, helping them get grounded emotionally and prepared practically before big, irreversible decisions are made. We talk about the grief, shame, and identity disruption that often catches people off guard, even when divorce feels mutual, and why slowing down at the beginning can protect you emotionally and financially in the long run.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOGrief has a way of pushing people toward questions they never expected to ask.After the sudden loss of his fiancé, Brett Wright found himself consumed by one overwhelming need—to understand what happens to us after we die. His search for answers led him to conversations with well-known paranormal experts, each offering stories of communication with the other side and evidence that consciousness may continue beyond death.But one story stood apart.It centered on a young girl who attempted to test an old legend—reversing a vinyl record to summon spirits. What began as curiosity quickly escalated into something far more disturbing. Paralysis, shadowy forces, and escalating paranormal activity began to grip not just the girl, but her entire family. The experiment didn't end when the music stopped—and whatever responded didn't leave quietly.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #Afterlife #TrueHaunting #ClassicEpisode #GhostStories #Unexplained #LifeAfterDeath #DarkEncounters #RealParanormal Love real ghost stories?

EPISODE 27: THE ANGER STAGE OF GRIEF EXPLAINED Dying Laughing with Jessimae  Anger gets a bad reputation, but it's usually trying to tell you something. In this episode, I dig into the anger stage of grief and why anger is rarely about what we think it's about. We talk about how anger often comes from older, unprocessed pain, how it shows up as control, resentment, or “making deals with the universe,” and why ignoring it usually makes everything worse. I also break down famous angry pop culture characters, why we relate to them, and what they reveal about how society handles rage. Plus, I read listener submissions about the things that make them the most angry, from the deeply personal to the hilariously unhinged. This episode is honest, funny, and uncomfortable in the best way, because anger isn't the problem. Avoiding it is.
