Vita shares her journey from a career in recruiting to fully embracing her calling as an artist, and how poetry and songwriting became the words she needed in her darkest moments.Tune in to hear Vita explain the meaning behind her name Vitaologee and how her creative process often begins with emotion, memory, and lived experience before becoming melody. We talk about how music can hold grief, honor legacy, and keep loved ones close even after they are gone.Learn how Vita's song Doing You Proud resonates as a tribute to her mother and why lyrics about being seen, remembered, and witnessed beyond this life can be so powerful for those navigating loss. We also explore ethical conversations around AI in music, creative ownership, and why authenticity still matters in a rapidly changing industry.This episode is for anyone grieving a loved one, finding healing through creative expression, or learning how to turn pain into purpose without losing your voice.

Send us a message!After more than 18 months of silence, The Broken Pack™ podcast is back, and Dr. Angela Dean is sharing everything.In this return episode, Dr. Angela Dean, psychologist, thanatologist, bereaved sibling, and host of The Broken Pack™, opens up about why she went quiet, what grief looked and felt like from the inside, and what is coming next for this community of surviving siblings and sibling loss survivors.Where Dr. Dean Has Been: After nearly five years since losing her brother Tony, something shifted in fall 2024. Despite consistently showing up, recording episodes, building community, and training with Dr. Robert Neimeyer at the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition, she found herself unable to continue at that pace. She reflects on the paradox of avoiding her own grief while pursuing advanced training in grief therapy, and why she needed to step away from narrating loss in order to actually live it.The Personal Losses Behind the Silence: An adult child moving across the globe, shifts in family dynamics, estrangement, and the growing weight of being her parents' only living child, a reality her brother Tony is no longer here to share.What Brought Her Back: A grief retreat through the Portland Institute reconnected her with her purpose. After recording an episode with Karin McLean, Dr. Dean began noticing signs from Tony, wolves, Pittsburgh references, and childhood memories only he would have known.Big News for Surviving Siblings: The Broken Pack is expanding to welcome ALL sibling loss survivors, including those who lost siblings in childhood or before birth. The Wild Grief newsletter moves to Substack, and a sibling loss book club is launching.Upcoming guests: Dr. Christina Zampitella, Nina Rodriguez, Dr. Heidi Horsley, Susan Kellum, Karin McClean, Anne Pinkerton, Earl Dawn Legault, and sibling loss survivor stories from Valerie, Amy, Paige, Amanda, Jayden, Deidra, and many more.Support the showIf you would like more information or to share your own sibling loss story, please contact Dr. Angela Dean at contact@thebrokenpack.com or go to our website, thebrokenpack.com.

Whether it's a recent loss or one from years ago that you thought you were past, grief can quietly show up in the body in ways most people don't expect. In this episode of Heal Yourself. Change Your Life®, Brandy shares something she's been seeing over and over again: people developing unexplained health issues that trace back to grief — sometimes recent, sometimes from a loss they didn't even realize they were still carrying. And here's what makes it worse: some of the common advice about grief — sit with it, feel it fully, cry it out — can actually program it deeper into the mind and body instead of releasing it. Brandy explains why this happens using how neural pathways work and shares a powerful mindset shift that has helped people who were stuck in grief for years finally open their hearts, move forward, and fall in love with life again. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, this episode offers insight, compassion, and a supportive path forward — helping you release emotional weight and reconnect with peace, healing, and possibility. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

Send us a textRHOBH-Mo Mentum & Emotional WhiplashThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – Season 15, Episode 8: Do You Remember?!?Podcast SummaryThis episode is one long emotional spiral that starts at the dinner table and never fully recovers.We pick up mid-fight as Amanda reads the definition of “accosted,” doubling down that Dorit approached her aggressively. Dorit feels blindsided and hurt, insisting Amanda spoke behind her back. Amanda denies it, while Sutton's facial expressions say otherwise. The tension escalates when Amanda reveals it was the anniversary of her son Zion's passing and says Dorit kept pushing anyway—something Dorit apologizes for, saying she genuinely didn't know.The argument shifts quickly to Kyle's role. Dorit accuses Kyle of fueling the situation by repeating concerns about Dorit venting about PK as a father. Kyle claims she's coming from a place of care, but Dorit feels judged, exposed, and set up—especially since Moe and PK communicate. Rachel finally steps in with a raw, emotional monologue about grief, divorce, venting, and how friends shouldn't police each other's pain in the moment. It lands hard, and Dorit is visibly shaken.Kyle and Dorit clash again, with Kyle labeling Dorit “angry and aggressive,” triggering Dorit further. Erika, Boz, and others try to mediate, but the conversation fractures into debates about boundaries, communication styles, and whether adults can control how others respond to them. Amanda insists she was simply sharing her truth, while Boz pushes back that you can't dictate reactions.Things take a sharp turn when Dorit sarcastically references Amanda's past involvement in a cult, shocking the table. Jennifer Tilly admits—gleefully—that she googled it, calling out the hypocrisy of everyone pretending they don't research each other. Rachel breaks down emotionally, overwhelmed by judgment, divorce, and being in a vulnerable state. Birthday cake arrives at the worst possible time, with crying continuing outside.Away from the chaos, life moves on:Dorit reveals she's writing a book.Boz receives a $110K Maserati… then later faces devastating IVF news when neither embryo reaches blastocyst stage.Kyle tours her daughter's wedding venue, worries about budgets, paperless invites, and Kathy's potential fashion chaos.Moe debuts his DJ alter ego: Mo Mentum.Kathy gets an IV drip while Rachel confides she's trying to fall apart quietly so her kids don't see it splashed all over Page Six.By episode's end, alliances are shaky. Rachel, Sutton, and Dorit question why Amanda deflected responsibility onto Kyle. Amanda feels misunderstood and targeted. Kyle wants to hear more about the cult. Dorit insists she's in a place where honesty—not silence—is how she survives this divorce.The core question lingers: Is Dorit being judged when she needs support most—or is she oversharing in a way that causes collateral damage?Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Send us a textFree Gift : Click here for masterclassWhy does moving forward feel so hard - even when you know you're ready?You're capable. You've proven yourself before. You have ideas, plans, and ambition.And yet, when it's time to move, something inside you slows down.This episode with Dr Amen Kaur explores why that hesitation isn't a mindset issue or lack of discipline - and why progress can start to feel risky even after past success.We unpack how the nervous system learns from experience, not intention. When growth has historically been followed by cost - increased demand, loss of safety, burnout, judgment, or control,  the body begins to associate success with threat.That conditioning doesn't show up as fear of failure. It shows up as hesitation before action.This conversation explains:Why willpower often backfires when the body expects lossHow anxiety and avoidance can be protective, not resistantWhy success isn't neutral to the nervous systemAnd how safety, not pressure, is what allows movement to returnIf you've ever felt capable but stalled… ready but tense… motivated yet unable to move cleanly,  this episode will help you understand what your system is responding to, and why.No fixing.No forcing.Just clarity about what's actually happening beneath the surface.

Life doesn't prepare you for what happens after your parents are gone.In this episode, Kenny, Taylor, and I have a raw, vulnerable conversation about life after losing parents, and what it means to redefine “normal” when there's no one left above you anymore.For me, it's the reality of having no parents and no grandparents left. For them, it's navigating life knowing that safety net doesn't exist the way it once did. We talk about the quiet moments no one warns you about: the grief that shows up randomly, the weight of becoming the elder, the responsibility that shifts without asking, and the question so many people are afraid to say out loud—now what?This isn't a clinical conversation about grief. It's real life. We talk about love, loss, legacy, fear, gratitude, and how death changes the way you see time, family, and yourself.If you've lost a parent. If you've lost both parents. If you're trying to figure out who you are after loss. Or if you're living in that strange in-between space where nothing feels the same anymore...This conversation is for you.Not enough people talk honestly about death. We are.

Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 611: Ministry Transitions: Grief and Loss Recorded live at Worship 4:24 at Cedarville University, Rick Lee James explores how ministry transitions carry real grief and loss, even when the change is good. He invites leaders to stop trying to “fix” people or rush past endings, and instead to name what has been lost, because unnamed grief often shows up in congregations as conflict, resistance, disengagement, or quiet sadness. Using Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's grief framework as a set of helpful lenses rather than a checklist, Rick walks through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, offering practical ways to recognize what might be happening beneath the surface when worship styles shift, beloved leaders leave, routines change, or familiar symbols disappear. Along the way he shares his own story of moving from decades as a worship pastor into full-time hospital chaplaincy, a faithful transition that still required honest grieving, and he grounds the conversation in biblical lament, reminding listeners that resurrection hope does not bypass Good Friday.     Connect with Rick Lee James Website: RickLeeJames.com Music & merch: search “Rick Lee James” on your favorite music platform Subscribe, rate, and review Voices in My Head wherever you listen to podcasts.     Hosted by: Rick Lee James — Voices in My Head Podcast                 Get the Audiobook, Out of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms by your host, Rick Lee James, on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0F45G6KWH?qid=1744142727&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=KEDVV78ASDMS52WQFD7W&plink=3YmaWg4y0HJ0Cjfc&pageLoadId=IaamycyuJR519uYD&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1%20 ----more---- Don't forget about our music sale on Bandcamp.

Through his own story, he reminds us of a simple but powerful truth: you always have a choice in how you show up for other people.Together, they explore how silence, comparison, and social media algorithms are shaping young men's mental health—and why choosing kindness, presence, and responsibility still matters, even when life feels heavy.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why “you always have a choice” became the core of Carter's message• How grief and gratitude can exist at the same time• Why you never know what someone is carrying• The danger of assuming malice instead of humanity• How social media pressure impacts Gen Z men• Why asking for help is an act of strength• What fathers, mentors, and leaders can do to make young men feel seenIf you've ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to show up for others, this conversation is a reminder that small choices still matter.Sponsor:Peptides for Health by Mark L.

After watching Hamnet, I couldn't stop thinking about grief — not as something isolating, but as one of the most deeply shared human experiences we have. In this episode, I talk about how grief shows up in quiet, unexpected ways, how loss connects us more than it separates us, and why stories like Hamnet can make us feel less alone in our pain. We explore the idea that grief is love with nowhere to go, the strange comfort of knowing others have felt this too, and what it means to sit with sadness rather than rush to heal it. This is a gentle conversation about loss, love, and being human and it's for for anyone who is grieving, has grieved, or loves someone who is. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWelcome back to today's podcast, a place where we share stories of awakenings—those moments when life disrupts the script and invites us into deeper truth, healing, and courage.Today's conversation is especially timely and tender. My guest is Susan Reedy, a Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma recovery and resiliency. Susan works with people navigating grief and loss, traumatic experiences, life transitions, and anxiety—and she also trains other therapists in the skills of trauma-informed care, including the Trauma Resiliency Model.Susan's own story includes powerful awakenings: growing up in the Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W. Armstrong, the long work of de-programming from religious control, and her early work with traumatized children. We'll talk openly about religious trauma, a theme that shows up often on this podcast, and connect it to broader cultural and political stress many of us are carrying right now.We'll also revisit the Altadena fires—how quickly they spread, the scope of destruction, and the deeply human stories of loss that followed. Along the way, Susan helps us understand what trauma is, why trauma therapy matters, and what healing and wellness can actually look like after everything falls apart.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Most men don't grieve by sitting in circles and talking about feelings. They grieve by working harder, staying busy, isolating, or pushing pain down until it shows up as anger, anxiety, exhaustion, or illness.In this powerful episode of Men Talking Mindfulness, Will Schneider and Jon Macaskill sit down with Michelle Ann Collins—grief coach, mindfulness teacher, and survivor of profound loss—to explore how men actually process grief and why “try harder” is not a plan.Michelle shares her personal journey through her husband's suicide, PTSD, dissociation, and recovery through somatic, body-based mindfulness. Together, they unpack why men are conditioned to suppress grief, how shame and regret keep men stuck, and why embodied practices—not forced emotional expression—are often the safest entry point into healing.This conversation offers real tools men can use in their truck, at work, or at home—without needing to relive the trauma or perform vulnerability.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why men and women feel grief similarly but process it differently• How action-style grief shows up as overworking, isolation, or emotional shutdown• Why suppressing grief often leads to anxiety, panic, illness, or burnout• How embodied mindfulness helps men stay present without dissociation• What post-traumatic growth actually looks like in real life• A simple grounding practice men can use anywhere• How to move from the grief cave toward meaning without rushing the processIf you're a man carrying loss silently—or supporting someone who is—this episode offers a grounded, compassionate path forward.Sponsor:Peptides for Health by Mark L.

In this Sunday Gathering sermon, Emily Perry explores how A Course in Miracles understands grief and loss and what it offers us when the pain feels overwhelming. Drawing on lived experience, psychological research, and the Course's teachings, Emily examines why grief often comes in waves, how grief differs from depression, why healing does not come from "moving on" but from integrating a new reality, and the Course's radical idea that grief arises not from loss itself but from how loss is interpreted. If you are grieving, walking alongside someone who is, or simply seeking a deeper spiritual understanding of loss, this sermon offers a perspective rooted in the assurance that love is never truly lost. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the publisher of the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course (known as the "CE"), which is available as a revised hardcover*, ebook*, and via Audible.

In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, Myrna sits down with her best friend Shain Jackson for a soulful exploration of love, art, healing, spirituality, and relationship—with all the honesty, laughter, and tenderness that only a lifelong friendship allows.Together, they reflect on how love shapes who we become, how trauma informs our relationships, and how learning to listen—to ourselves, to spirit, and to one another—is an ongoing practice. This episode weaves personal stories with deeper teachings about healing, creativity, and the role of art as a living, breathing expression of spiritual connection.Shain shares the vision behind his Story Booth Project, an initiative dedicated to creating physical recording spaces where Indigenous people can safely share and preserve their stories, teachings, and lived experiences for future generations. Rooted in respect, sovereignty, and cultural continuity, the project is both an act of preservation and a form of resistance.The conversation also touches on Shain's entrepreneurial and community-building work through Spirit Works, as well as his nonprofit Golden Eagle Rising, which centers Indigenous resurgence, creativity, and community care.At its heart, this episode is about love as a teacher—love in friendship, love in art, love in healing, and love as a spiritual force that guides us home to ourselves.This is a conversation for anyone navigating growth, grief, creativity, relationships, and the sacred work of becoming.To see Shain's work: www.spiritworks.ca and www.goldeneaglerising.org  

On this week's Arts to Hearts Podcast, we sit down with Philemona Williamson, a painter whose work has explored adolescence, gender, and identity for decades. Her paintings carry layers of symbolism and narrative that have developed over a long career of making art that matters to her. In this conversation, Philemona talks about how motherhood, her child's transition, and her experiences with miscarriage have all found their way into her paintings. She discusses what it means to be open about these experiences in her work and why that vulnerability has made what she creates feel more real and necessary. Through her story, we see how the things we live through directly shape what we make. Philemona shows us that staying true to yourself, even when life gets complicated or painful, can lead to work that resonates because it comes from a place of truth. This interview offers a look at how an artist doesn't separate her life from her canvas, and how the hardest moments can become the most important ones to paint. Philemona Williamson shares thoughtful perspectives on how life and art feed into each other, and why authenticity matters more than perfection. Listen to the full episode to hear her full story.

It's the most wonderful time of the year is a very popular Christmas song but it only speaks to one aspect of Christmas. According to research, the holidays can also be one of the most stressful, loneliness, and depressing times of the year. Stress, depression, and grief are not great marketing strategies, so happiness, gatherings, and gifts are promoted as holiday commodities. There may be few emotional safe spaces for those who are experiencing emotional pain and grief, but just know you are not alone so please identify strategies to navigate those difficult emotions.

How do we make space for our grief in the midst of what is often called a joyful season? What happens when the traditions we once cherished become painful reminders of those no longer at our table?Author Lanier Ivester understands the deep ache of loss and how it reshapes the holidays. After walking through multiple griefs—many within a single year—Lanier found herself reimagining the Christmas season traditions she once loved. Through that process, she discovered how to honor her grief while allowing traditions to evolve in ways that nurture connection and relationship.In her book, Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide, Lanier shares cherished practices—many of which were passed down from her mother and explores the rich theology of the Christmas season—a theology that embraces both joy and sorrow in sacred tension.In this episode, Davey sits down with Lanier to discuss how grief transforms our experience of the holidays, the invitation Advent offers to bring both our celebration and lament before God, and how to thoughtfully engage—or release—traditions after loss.If you or someone you love is hurting this Christmas, this conversation offers a gentle reminder: this season is spacious enough to hold your pain and still whisper the hope of Christ—Emmanuel, God with us.

Health care strategist Dana Y. Lujan discusses her article, "Grief and leadership in health care." Dana shares her devastating personal story of losing both her son's father and, six years later, her only son, Joey, and how this profound grief exposed the failures of the health care system when faced with pain that cannot be captured by a diagnostic code. She describes her own experience (including a suggested 72-hour psychiatric hold) and how the system offered labels like complicated grief and PTSD but not true understanding. Dana contrasts this with her career in health care leadership, arguing that true compassion and resilience must be redefined by those who have experienced profound loss. She explains why leadership must move beyond metrics to address the hidden grief in our clinics and boardrooms and how persistence is about surrendering to growth, not just "pushing through." Discover how she learned to lead herself through unimaginable pain and turn that perspective into purpose. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Navigating Grief and Loss at the Holidays  The WISDOM podcast  Season 5  Episode 105 ~ Loss and grief can add a distinctive layering to this time of year, especially if your history with that person has included wonderful past holiday experiences shared together.   I'll be sharing with you the best ways in which you can feel relief and comfort together with a resolve you make towards living differently because of what you know to be a better set of choices and a greater presence of kindness and love.   I want to state here that this isn't about taking away your grief. Grieving is a healthy and often productive means of navigating great loss. If you are grieving because what has been left unfinished or in cases where you haven't had an opportunity to say goodbye or to have the conversation to understand why if this is a breakup that you didn't expect.   Audio Engineering: Pavel Kirpikau ~   Join us on a NEW 21 Day Journey The Alchemy of Abundance ~  Join the 21 Day Journey here This is a FREE Experiential Journey.

This episode opens "Someday I'll Love" poems through the vivid imagery of a young poet's connection with their grandmother, remembering in love as memory begins to slip. Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake is an Indigenous poet from the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Oklahoma. Winner of the 2024 Maureen Egen Writers Exchange Award for poetry and the recipient of the 2023 Indigenous Nations Poets fellowship, they live in St. Louis. Portrait by Erin Lewis Photography The poem was featured on Poem-a-Day and can be found at the Academy of American Poets. See here for the poem online. (https://poets.org/poem/someday-ill-love) Someday I'll Love— Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake —after Frank O'Hara like I dreamt of the lamb—slaughtered, forgotten, lying on porcelain tile, on crimson-filled grout— and woke up thinking of my grandmother, of her Betty Boop hands that held marbled stone, held dough-balled flour, held the first strands of my hair floating atop the river— like winter apples, the ones that hang outside my living room window and survive first snowfall to feed the neighborhood crows, how they fall beneath my boots, staining my rubber soles with epigraphs of rot, epigraphs of fors, of dears, of holding on till frost's end. Someday I will see long-forgotten fingerprints on the inside of my eyelids as I go to sleep, as I close my eyes for silence on a Wednesday, mourning—seeking—creases and smile lines, porch lights and swing sets, summer nights of lightning bugs and Johnny Cash. I think it will be a Tuesday, or maybe someday is yesterday, is two months from now, is going to be a day when I forget what I'm supposed to be remembering. For now, I will paint my nails cradle, adorn my skin in cloth that doesn't choke, tell my bones that they are each a lamb remembered. Copyright © 2024 by Emerald ᏃᏈᏏ GoingSnake.

This episode takes us to a graveyard for Halloween and explores one of the most canonical poems in the English language, poised between two huge eras of poetry as it meditates on how "the paths of glory lead but to the grave." The whole poem can be found below. The image is of Thomas Gray's monument in Stoke Poges, inscribed with his elegy. Photo by UKgeofan at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10552507 For more on Thomas Gray, see The Poetry Foundation (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/thomas-gray). Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard By Thomas Gray The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me. Now fades the glimm'ring landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds; Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tow'r The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such, as wand'ring near her secret bow'r, Molest her ancient solitary reign. Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mould'ring heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn, The swallow twitt'ring from the straw-built shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed. For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn, Or busy housewife ply her evening care: No children run to lisp their sire's return, Or climb his knees the envied kiss to share. Oft did the harvest to their sickle yield, Their furrow oft the stubborn glebe has broke; How jocund did they drive their team afield! How bow'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke! Let not Ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys, and destiny obscure; Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile The short and simple annals of the poor. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Awaits alike th' inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave. Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault, If Mem'ry o'er their tomb no trophies raise, Where thro' the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault The pealing anthem swells the note of praise. Can storied urn or animated bust Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, Or Flatt'ry soothe the dull cold ear of Death? Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd, Or wak'd to ecstasy the living lyre. But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne'er unroll; Chill Penury repress'd their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul. Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flow'r is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood; Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood. Th' applause of list'ning senates to command, The threats of pain and ruin to despise, To scatter plenty o'er a smiling land, And read their hist'ry in a nation's eyes, Their lot forbade: nor circumscrib'd alone Their growing virtues, but their crimes confin'd; Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, And shut the gates of mercy on mankind, The struggling pangs of conscious truth to hide, To quench the blushes of ingenuous shame, Or heap the shrine of Luxury and Pride With incense kindled at the Muse's flame. Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way. Yet ev'n these bones from insult to protect, Some frail memorial still erected nigh, With uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture deck'd, Implores the passing tribute of a sigh. Their name, their years, spelt by th' unletter'd muse, The place of fame and elegy supply: And many a holy text around she strews, That teach the rustic moralist to die. For who to dumb Forgetfulness a prey, This pleasing anxious being e'er resign'd, Left the warm precincts of the cheerful day, Nor cast one longing, ling'ring look behind? On some fond breast the parting soul relies, Some pious drops the closing eye requires; Ev'n from the tomb the voice of Nature cries, Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires. For thee, who mindful of th' unhonour'd Dead Dost in these lines their artless tale relate; If chance, by lonely contemplation led, Some kindred spirit shall inquire thy fate, Haply some hoary-headed swain may say, "Oft have we seen him at the peep of dawn Brushing with hasty steps the dews away To meet the sun upon the upland lawn. "There at the foot of yonder nodding beech That wreathes its old fantastic roots so high, His listless length at noontide would he stretch, And pore upon the brook that babbles by. "Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn, Mutt'ring his wayward fancies he would rove, Now drooping, woeful wan, like one forlorn, Or craz'd with care, or cross'd in hopeless love. "One morn I miss'd him on the custom'd hill, Along the heath and near his fav'rite tree; Another came; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he; "The next with dirges due in sad array Slow thro' the church-way path we saw him borne. Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay, Grav'd on the stone beneath yon aged thorn." THE EPITAPH Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to Fortune and to Fame unknown. Fair Science frown'd not on his humble birth, And Melancholy mark'd him for her own. Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere, Heav'n did a recompense as largely send: He gave to Mis'ry all he had, a tear, He gain'd from Heav'n ('twas all he wish'd) a friend. No farther seek his merits to disclose, Or draw his frailties from their dread abode, (There they alike in trembling hope repose) The bosom of his Father and his God.

What does grief really feel like? The moments that break you, the ones that blur together, and the in-betweens no one talks about. In this episode, Jule Kim, coach and writer, shares her honest experience after the sudden loss of her brother. This is a deeply human conversation about what happens when life stops without warning, and how we keep going through the waves of sorrow and loss that follow. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 What Grief Really Feels Like (dealing with grief) 09:35 The First Two Weeks: Waves, body shock, and why you need people 15:27 When Others Pull Away: What to say and do when you don't know how to help  29:53 Doing right by them  54:03 Remembering in Practice We talk about the quiet moments no one prepares you for—the way grief sits in the body, how family dynamics shift, and what real support can look like when words just aren't enough.
