Podcasts about grief a love story

When all we know leaves us unprepared for loss, we must find a new way to respond. And when suicide is involved, the weight of what could have been can be weighty. Tara Caffelle's former husband and good friend died, and she was left to sort out what she could have done, knowing she had done all she could. In her grief, she found her life.

A memorial for those we’ve lost this year. We are joined by Beck and Abi as we tell stories, cry, and wonder about an afterlife.

Tara Caffelle is a certified life and relationship coach, management consultant, writer, and fluent speaker of the language of grief. Significant and successive losses led Tara to see that, now more than ever, we must get better at supporting our fellow humans at living who is actually a grief-filled life. She works closely with small businesses and non-profit organizations to create a culture that supports grief in our collective spaces of work and service, so that we may take that culture home with us to our dinner tables. Tara is navigating her first year as an adoptive parent with her partner, Bill, and is squeezing in a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work around the edges of work and diaper changes. Tara’s first book, Grief: A Love Story, is due out in 2021.

This show is a lovely meander through grief with Shelby Forsythia, founder of The Grief Grower's Garden and the author of Permission to Grieve. After losing her Mom at the age of 21, Shelby sought to heal and make sense of her loss, and along the way, she found the aching beauty of grief in all the corners of our lives. She supports those lost in the everyday moments of grief in their lives. Our conversation, more than a year ago (due to an unplanned hiatus for Grief: A Love Story!) was a joy, and it is an honour to work alongside such a gifted woman in this arena of grief. Now, here are all the places where you can find Shelby and be showered by her loving wisdom: Her community on Facebook, The Grief Grower's Garden The Coming Back Podcast - which Shelby says is the heart of her work (and you can catch my episode there, too!) Her website And finally, on Amazon, where her book, Permission to Grieve is widely available and will enlighten your grief journey in ways you can't even imagine, yet *and the book I mention in the broadcast is When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi It's a treat to be back - I hope you enjoy listening in to this brave conversation.

Tara Caffelle lost her ex-husband to suicide in 2015. His death was just one of four others she experienced that year. This week, we're talking about navigating a year of losses, crafting a disclaimer for your grief, and where our loved ones live in our bodies. We're also discussing Tara's brand new book, Grief: A Love Story. Also on the show, I was marinating in suicide this week after the public coverage of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's suicides and came face-to-face with an uncomfortable truth of mine: I don't understand suicide. I'm talking about why I don't understand suicide and why it's crucial that we listen to people who are suicidal.

"Planning for death is a life-affirming act." My guest for this episode is DeAnne Joy, a fellow soldier in grief and death, and like so many of these conversations, I felt we could have gone on for days together. We covered all manner of topics, from advance directives, to mortality, to self-care, to women in crisis to the straight-up vulnerability of releasing a Book Baby to the world. This interview is exactly what I love; layers of topics covered as we meander about, with death and grief as the gateway in. DeAnne is a a master transformation coach, speaker, and author who teaches people about living, and dying, authentically and powerfully. She is a Master Practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and a licensed clinical therapist with a Masters in Social Work, having worked as a therapist and end-of-life social worker for over 20 years. Drawing on both personal and professional experience, DeAnne specializes in helping women in their 40s and beyond turn their pain into purpose and live a fulfilled and unstoppable life with no regrets. Over the course of her career, DeAnne has helped thousands of people, including celebrities and CEOs in the entertainment industry. She has trained physicians in facilitating end-of-life conversations with patients and families, and is a strong advocate for completing advance healthcare directives to prepare for the future, while fully embracing life today. Her upcoming book, No Regrets: Embracing Death to Awaken to Life - 5 Keys to Living - and Dying - with Joy, Peace and Purpose, is due for release in June, 2018. In the episode, we talk about books. (Obviously.) Here are the ones we mention: Brene Brown - Braving the Wilderness Stephen Levine - Who Dies?: An Investigation of Conscious Living and Conscious Dying  Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture Atul Gawande - Being Mortal To connect with DeAnne, you can use the following map coordinates: Website: www.joyservllc.com On Facebook: @DeAnne Joy, @JoyServLLC, or her private FB group, Choose Joy And as always, you are more than welcome to join us on the Grief: A Love Story group - you can share your thoughts on this and any of the episodes, and ask DeAnne or myself whatever questions you have.

"There's a constant stream of grief in parenting." Some conversations are just always delicious and I have never not enjoyed speaking with Gillian Rowinski in the years that I have known her and we have stolen some time to connect. In this conversation, we take a quick-but-deep dive into some of the grief that comes with parenthood (spoiler alert: it's a lot) and, I know I say this a lot, but it's one of my favourite episodes thus far. A little more on Gillian: Gillian is a writer and the creator of Unlearning SuperMom.  She is also a certified coach, specializing in neuroscience and transforming consciousness and an HR professional, specializing in leadership development and change management.  When she isn't making all that impact professionally, she is also a wife and mother of three kids. I have long-loved her sense of humour and her generous way of showing up in the world. In the episode, I predictably can't remember the name of a great book I am recommending, it is Tattoos on the Heart - The Power of Boundless Compassion by Gregory Boyle, and Gillian mentions Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression by Johann Hari. And we would both invite you to continue this conversation over in the Grief: A Love Story group on Facebook; Gillian and I are both there, so I'm really not sure what would possibly keep you from joining us.

Grief: A Love Story with Tara Caffelle Tara Caffelle is a writer, coach, and heart-centred advocate for couples and individuals. She tends to giggle at the word “duty” and is also a shaman of grief and transition. Tara creates spaces for real conversations that make us grow into big lives. Tara coaches people who are in all manner of relationships. People who have babies and squabbles and dreams. People who struggle with their own peace as a relationship ends. People who are simply not okay with things being “fine” and want more, more, more, whatever that looks like.  For more information visit: http://taracaffelle.com/ ************************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html

It feels weird to let this baby out into the world. You can download a hold-in-your-hot-little-hands copy here, but I wanted to give it a voice, too. And as I mention at the end of the episode, this chapter and the book are a team effort, and I wish to thank my writing coach, Nicole Baute for her gentle and effective championing of my words, Karla Johnson for her brilliant sound engineering, particularly in the intro and extro of the podcast, and of course Bensound for the music that we use.
