Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg Negative Energy, Grief Counseling, and the Ethics of Delivering Messages with Dusten Lyvers Medium Insights host Roman Karpishka catches up with newly credentialed Dr. Dusten Lyvers, a Forever Family Foundation certified medium, about negative energy, Ouija boards, grief therapy, and the ethics of delivering difficult messages from spirit. A Reunion And A New Doctorate Roman Karpishka opens Signs of Life's Medium Insights hour by welcoming back certified Forever Family Foundation medium Dusten Lyvers, joking about the pronunciation of his last name and tracing it to an old family surname, Levers, recorded in an ancestry book dating to 1669. Lyvers shares that since his last appearance, around Christmas, he has finished a seven-year doctoral journey and can now be called Dr. Dusten. Karpishka congratulates him, and the two banter about hair, aging, and Theresa Caputo's line that 'the higher the hair, the closer to God.' The mood is warm and unhurried, setting up an hour built around open conversation rather than readings; Karpishka repeats his standing rule that the show never delivers messages on air. He reminds listeners they can call in with questions, and the two settle into catching up before turning to the heavier subject of the approaching anniversary of September 11. 9/11 And The Weight Of Loss With the anniversary of September 11 one day away, Karpishka asks whether the date feels different to a medium who works with grieving clients across the country. Lyvers says the heaviness is constant in his practice because most of his clients live in the United States and many have been touched by the day personally or know someone who was. He describes reading a few weeks earlier for a woman whose relative was near the city during the attacks, calling it a significant moment for her. Karpishka suggests the emotional weight builds like a bell curve around the date itself. The exchange is brief but sets a reflective tone, linking personal loss to the wider themes the show returns to throughout the hour: how spirit communication intersects with real grief, how mediums carry the emotional residue of their clients' histories, and how national tragedies leave traces that Lyvers says he can still sense years later in the people who come to him for readings. Negative Energy, Ouija Boards, And Real Exorcists Caller Tim from Pennsylvania, prompted by the coming anniversary, asks about evil and negative energy in the afterlife given conflicting claims from mediums, religions, and Ouija board warnings. Lyvers says he was the only medium in a Forever Family Foundation study for the Bigelow Institute of Consciousness Studies who described encountering negative manifestations of energy rather than only positive ones. He recalls investigating reportedly haunted locations with Michiana Paranormal Investigations and feeling watched and unwelcome, and argues most mediums simply block themselves off from that side. He advises that Ouija boards are tools requiring protection and intention rather than something to avoid outright. Talk turns to The Exorcist, with Karpishka calling it the scariest film ever made, and Lyvers describing real exorcists connected to Notre Dame University near his home in South Bend, Indiana, while stressing that genuine hauntings are rare compared with psychic imprints. Tim also recalls predicting, before the last election, that the outcome would go a certain way, a detail the hosts quickly steer away from politics. Delivering Hard Messages With Care Karpishka asks how a medium handles a painful message, and Lyvers explains that 'delivery' is a skill taught at the Arthur Findlay College in England, where softening a message does not mean withholding truth. He describes a recent reading in which a deceased baby validated a grieving father's small emotional progress without Lyvers passing along a harder note about the marriage. The conversation moves through gender identity on the other side, which Lyvers frames as energy rather than fixed biology, and briefly touches on continued intimacy in spirit form. He explains why sessions run a set length, comparing it to a therapist's boundaries and insisting spirits respect time just as the living do. Asked about sensory impressions, Lyvers says he experiences clairvoyance, clairsentience, and an unusually strong clairaudience that lets him hear accents and vocal qualities, joking that he can sometimes tell if a spirit sounds like Sylvia Browne, whose old videos, he notes, are now circulating again on social media years after her death. A Haunted Apartment And A Search For Answers Crystal calls from New Hampshire describing years of frightening activity in her apartment that began in September 2023, weeks after a sudden death in her life, including sightings of a nun on her balcony, a floating head, and photos that appeared to show movement. Lyvers tells her he doubts a portal was opened but says significant loss often becomes a doorway through which people suddenly begin sensing spirit, sometimes overnight, a pattern he says many mediums describe in their own histories. He recommends she keep protecting and cleansing her space, connect with a support community, and seek out a spiritually open therapist rather than face the experience alone, adding that her sensitivity may itself indicate mediumship ability. Karpishka points her toward Victor Zammit's online resources and Lyvers mentions Psychology Today's therapist directory, which lets users filter for practitioners open to spirituality. Crystal says the activity has eased since she stopped photographing it, and thanks the hosts before the call ends warmly. Grief, Growth, And Building A Practice Karpishka asks about connecting with people whose minds have been altered by Alzheimer's or dementia before death, and Lyvers explains that mediums sometimes sense such people are already partly crossed over, their souls beginning to detach before physical death occurs. He reflects on what sustains him in the work, describing the reward of watching grief soften into humor and peace, and contrasts it with his frustration at clients who book reading after reading without integrating any message into real change. Lyvers, trained as a licensed clinician, says he hopes to compile a national list of spiritually open therapists. He plugs his eight-week intuitive and mediumship development courses at Sacred Waters, his Linktree, and his website, Dustenlyvers.com, mentioning upcoming group readings in Ottawa and travel bookings roughly a week out. Karpishka thanks him for the hour, closes with Fran Ginsberg's line that loved ones are 'a heartbeat away,' and signs off until next month's Medium Insights.
On Episode 1 of Season 10 of The Surviving Siblings Podcast®, host Maya Roffler is joined by Lenny Hunt, a grief coach, life coach, bereaved father, and longtime advocate within the grief community, who shares the story of losing his two sons, Dawson and Devin, and how his own experience with devastating loss eventually led him to helping others learn how to carry their grief forward. This episode marks a first for The Surviving Siblings Podcast®. After nine seasons centered around the voices and experiences of bereaved siblings, Lenny joins Maya as the first guest who is not a surviving sibling himself. But as a father who lost two sons who were also brothers, and as someone who has spent years supporting grieving people—including surviving siblings—his perspective opens an important conversation about grief from another side of the family. Lenny takes us back to 2011, when Dawson was 12 and Devin was nine. What began as an ordinary father-son day spent geocaching became the day that changed everything. Dawson hadn't originally wanted to go, but Lenny and Devin convinced him to come along. After finding four geocaches together, they were driving home when Dawson thanked his dad for making him come, telling him he had actually had a really good time. Lenny turned around. They looked at each other. They smiled. Both Dawson and Devin died in the accident. Lenny and Maya explore how creative expression can become part of processing grief—whether through music, writing, art, podcasting, social media, or another outlet entirely. In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Welcome to Season 10 + Meet Lenny Hunt Maya opens Season 10 on the 10th anniversary year of her brother's death and introduces Lenny as the first non-surviving sibling guest on the podcast. (0:03:00) – Remembering Dawson + Devin Lenny introduces his sons, Dawson and Devin, and shares the story of the father-son geocaching day that would become one of their final memories together. (0:06:00) – The Accident That Changed Everything Lenny shares the quiet final exchange he had with Dawson moments before the vehicle accident that took both of his sons' lives. (0:08:00) – Is the First or Second Year of Grief Harder? Maya and Lenny discuss why grief timelines are deeply personal and why the reality of loss can sometimes become even more tangible in the years after the initial shock. (0:12:00) – Grief Counseling vs. Grief Coaching Lenny explains the difference between the two forms of support and how grief coaching can help someone begin looking toward what comes next. (0:15:00) – What Is "Good Grief"? Lenny introduces his approach to grief and explains how memories, stories, and meaningful moments can coexist alongside the pain of loss. (0:18:00) – Holding the Good + Hard at the Same Time Maya and Lenny discuss why finding moments of joy doesn't erase grief—and why grief doesn't have to mean abandoning every possibility of happiness. (0:22:00) – When You're Ready to Participate in Your Own Healing An honest conversation about readiness, reaching for support, and why grief coaching may not be the right tool for every person at every stage. (0:27:00) – Why Grief Isn't a "Journey" Lenny explains why he prefers to think of grief as an ongoing process of learning how to carry loss rather than a journey with a defined ending. (0:29:00) – Lenny's Life After Losing His Boys From leaving his former life behind to moving states, meeting his wife, and becoming part of a new family, Lenny shares pieces of the rebuilding that eventually followed his loss. (0:31:00) – The TikTok Video That Changed Everything How one vulnerable video about missing Dawson and Devin connected with other grieving people and showed Lenny that his voice could help others feel understood. (0:33:00) – Becoming a Grief Coach Lenny shares how his background as a pastor and teacher influenced his coaching style and why he uses analogies, activities, art, object lessons, and creative exercises in his grief work. (0:35:00) – The Good Grief Summit Lenny introduces the Good Grief Summit and its focus on helping people explore creative, healthy ways to process and express loss. (0:37:00) – Creativity as a Tool for Grief From Maya's podcasting to music, writing, storytelling, and social media, Maya and Lenny discuss how creating something can become both an outlet for grief and a way of honoring the person who died.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: Grieving parents, anyone navigating child loss, and those supporting someone through deep grief and trauma.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: Honest insight into grief processing, how to show up for someone in loss, and how to break the silence around death and healing.DESCRIPTION:In this powerful episode, Nick Gaylord sits down with Kelly Edmondson to explore the unimaginable grief of losing her son, Darius, to sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Kelly shares the raw reality of child loss, the shock of sudden death, and the emotional aftermath that reshapes identity and life itself. Together, they unpack why silence around grief is more damaging than grief itself and how honest conversation creates space for healing. Kelly opens up about the importance of speaking directly about death, the role of support systems, and what grieving people truly need. The conversation also dives into societal discomfort around loss, the failure of traditional bereavement norms, and the long-term impact of unprocessed grief. Nick guides the discussion with empathy and clarity, reinforcing the mission of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word. This episode is both a tribute to Darius and a roadmap for navigating grief with honesty, connection, and courage.This episode answers: How do you cope with the sudden loss of a child? What should you say to someone who is grieving a major loss? Why is silence harmful in the grieving process? How can you support someone dealing with child loss and trauma? What does healthy grief processing actually look like over time? Key Takeaways: Grief is not the problem—silence is what isolates and damages healing. Saying the words “dead” and “died” helps process reality, not avoid it. Support matters more than perfection—showing up is everything. Unprocessed grief can manifest as physical, emotional, and mental health issues. There is no timeline for grief, and traditional expectations often fail grieving people.Website / Businesshttps://thetimelypresence.com https://www.thememorybox.coLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-edmondsonInstagram (Personal): https://www.instagram.com/the.kellyedmondsonInstagram (Business): https://www.instagram.com/thetimelypresenceFacebook (Business): https://www.facebook.com/TimelyPresenceSupport the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Grieving the Unseen Loss: Understanding Grief After Betrayal Summary In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis reflect on the powerful insights emerging from the 2026 Human Intimacy Conference, with a particular focus on grief following sexual betrayal. While much of the field has emphasized trauma and post-traumatic stress, this conversation highlights a critical gap: the profound and often unaddressed grief experienced by both betrayed and betraying partners. Drawing from early data on the Grief After Betrayal Impact Scale, MaryAnn shares a striking finding—the most significant loss reported is not just the relationship, but the loss of self, including identity, trust in oneself, and a coherent sense of reality. The discussion explores how betrayal creates a “collapsed self,” alters one's perception of a partner, and leads to ongoing grief that can persist for decades. The episode introduces emerging frameworks for understanding betrayal-related grief, including stages of emotional shock, internal conflict, withdrawal, rage, and eventual reclamation. Dr. Skinner and Marianne emphasize that grief is not a single event but a long-term process, often unfolding over years as individuals grieve not only what happened, but what could have been. A key theme is the importance of giving grief a voice in safe relationships. Healing is accelerated when individuals are witnessed, validated, and supported—whether by a partner, therapist, or trusted connection. Without this, grief often becomes prolonged and isolating. The conversation also raises important clinical and societal implications, including the need for better training, expanded research, and more effective support systems—particularly in faith communities, where many individuals report feeling misunderstood or unsupported. Ultimately, this episode reframes betrayal recovery by integrating grief as a central component of healing, calling for a more compassionate, relational, and research-informed approach to addressing the deep emotional losses that accompany betrayal.

What does it mean to truly support clients—and your team—when a beloved pet passes away? Collin talks with Shannon Rigby, owner of Puppy Love Pet Sitting in Wimberley, Texas, about the emotional side of pet care and her work as a certified Pet Loss Grief Support Specialist. Shannon shares how her psychology background led her to this calling, how grief shows up for both clients and sitters, and the healthy ways to honor those feelings. They also discuss community engagement, team well-being, and creating resources that strengthen connection. This heartfelt conversation reminds us that love and loss are both part of the work we do. Main topics: Supporting grieving pet parents Emotional wellness for pet sitters Building community partnerships Turning compassion into business growth Healthy grief and healing practices Main takeaway: "The greater the love, the greater the loss—and it's not meant to be healed in a snap." In pet care, we see love in its purest form every day. But we also witness the heartbreak when that love is lost. Shannon Rigby reminds us that grief isn't something to rush through—it's something to honor. By allowing clients (and ourselves) to feel, reflect, and remember, we can transform sorrow into gratitude for the bond we were privileged to share.
In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to break down why behavioral health belongs inside primary care—not outside it. Jimmie explains how telehealth lowered stigma, how mental health diagnoses (“F codes”) often correlate with frequent ER use, and why Your Health moved from intuition to data-driven referral models using tools like Power BI. They also map the full behavioral health ecosystem—from psych nurse practitioners to therapists to the psych pharmacist—and clarify when and how teams should refer patients for the right level of support. The takeaway is simple: earlier behavioral health intervention can improve lives, reduce hospital visits, and strengthen value-based care outcomes system-wide. www.YourHealth.Org
Who knew that communicating with ghosts was doctor recommended?!In this episode we unearth the exceptional and important documentary "Life with Ghosts" with filmmaker Stephen Berkley.About the FilmLife with Ghosts (2023) is a documentary about a research study at the University of North Texas that uses induced after-death communication (IADC) to help a grieving widow connect with her deceased husband. It explores the potential of facilitated "after-death communication" to alleviate prolonged grief, particularly in cases where conventional therapy has been ineffective. The film documents the first publicly funded attempt to see if such contact can reduce grief symptoms, challenging traditional views on the relationship between the living and the dead. About the FilmmakerStephen Berkley is a filmmaker, writer, and editor with over thirty years of experience in the media industry, known primarily for his work on projects exploring themes of love, loss, and after-death communication. His most prominent work is the self-produced feature film "Life with Ghosts".IMDBTEDx TalkWebsiteFacebook$10 Afraid of Nothing merch - and more - at the Afraid of Nothing Shopify store.

The Power of Intention, Grief, and Choice In this deeply moving and heartfelt episode of Soul Fusion, I sit down with Amy, a woman whose journey through love, loss, and transformation is nothing short of inspiring. Amy shares her beautiful love story with her late husband, Brian, and how an unexpected and devastating diagnosis changed everything. But rather than letting fear take over, they made a conscious choice—to live with intention. We dive into what it means to hold two emotions at once, how to navigate grief without letting it define you, and the power we have to choose how we show up in the face of loss. Amy's wisdom, born from her lived experience, is a guiding light for anyone navigating grief, supporting a loved one through it, or simply wanting to live with more purpose. Key Takeaways: The Power of Intentional Living – How Amy and Brian embraced every moment, even in the face of terminal illness. Grief & Joy Can Coexist – Understanding that sorrow and beauty are not mutually exclusive. How to Support Someone Through Loss – What truly helps and what well-meaning words can do more harm than good. Leaving a Legacy – How Amy's experience led her to create Walk the Red, a mission-driven company supporting those navigating terminal illness and loss. Memorable Moments: “You don't want to waste your pain. If you have to go through it, why not mine something valuable from it?” – Amy “We knew Brian was on a timer, but the truth is—we all are. The only difference is awareness.” – Amy “Grief is ugly, messy, and real. But so is love, laughter, and the choice to keep moving forward.” – Me Resources & Links: Amy's Book: Navigating Goodbye: A Guide for Those Blindsided by Terminal Illness Amy's Website: Walk the Red → www.walkthered.com Amy's Facebook Group HERE Connect with Me: Website: www.pennychiasson.com Instagram: @penny.chiasson
In our current moment of cultural fragmentation and existential anxiety, the traditional frameworks of engagement feel increasingly inadequate. Andrew Root's latest work, “Evangelism in an Age of Despair” isn't just a theological treatise, or a how-to evangelism book, but a profound meditation on human connection in an age of profound disconnection. What happens when we shift our understanding of evangelism from a transactional model of belief to a relational practice of genuine with-ness? Andy suggests something more radical than conversion: a form of spiritual presence that honors the complexity of human suffering. We're living through an era where loneliness has become a systemic condition, where happiness is marketed as a consumable product, and where genuine human vulnerability is increasingly rare. Root's approach doesn't offer easy solutions, but instead proposes a more nuanced engagement with our collective pain. This conversation is less about religious doctrine and more about the fundamental human need for meaningful connection - a need that transcends ideological boundaries and touches something more elemental about how we understand ourselves and each other. Join us as we seek the consolation of Christ in the desolation of our lives. Andrew Root (Ph.D., Princeton Theological Seminary) is the Carrie Olson Baalson professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.Andrew Root is the Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry at Luther Seminary, USA.

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dave Roberts, a man whose journey through profound loss has reshaped his entire perspective on life, grief, and spirituality. Dave lost his daughter, Jeannine, at just 18 years old to cancer, and his path toward healing has been filled with deep reflection, transformative experiences, and a unique understanding of continued bonds with those who have passed. His story is one of resilience and reconnection, as he shares how he found a way to maintain his relationship with his daughter beyond the physical world.Dave's journey led him to explore the intersection of psychology and spirituality, which became a cornerstone of his healing. He co-authored a book, When the Psychology Professor Met the Minister, delving into the power of belief, critical thinking, and how we can integrate different perspectives without abandoning our core values. He speaks about the powerful role of synchronicities, dream visits, and numerology in his ongoing relationship with Janine. His experiences remind us that love and connection don't have to end with physical death.Throughout our conversation, Dave shared wisdom gained from his own grief journey, his work as a psychology professor, and the many students and people he has guided through loss. We also talked about the importance of honoring our emotions, embracing continued bonds, and challenging rigid thinking around death. Dave's insights offer a new way to look at loss—not as an end, but as a transformation of the relationship itself.

Grief is a universal experience, impacting individuals regardless of age, and its effects on mental health can be profound. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael delves into this sensitive topic with Susana Calley, a licensed clinical social worker and the director at the Center for Hope and Healing under the Blue Ridge Hospice umbrella. Throughout the year-long series, Mental Health Mondays, Janet has focused on various mental health issues. This episode zeroes in on grief, exploring its impact on both adults and children. Susana emphasizes that grief does not discriminate by age; both young and old are susceptible to its effects. The discussion uncovers important aspects of grief and the necessary support systems for those going through it. Susana highlights the wide range of grief support services offered by Blue Ridge Hospice, which are available to anyone in the community, not just those directly associated with hospice care. These services include individual and family counseling, specialized groups, and camps dedicated to helping those in grief. One of the key takeaways is the importance of normalizing grief and providing a stable, nurturing environment for children dealing with loss. A major revelation for many is that Blue Ridge Hospice supports anyone who has experienced a loss, regardless of the circumstances. Susana notes that almost half of the individuals who seek counseling or group support are community members with no prior connection to hospice care. Grief support can take many forms, from individual counseling to group sessions that offer communal comfort and shared experiences. Susana explains the value of groups where individuals can meet others who have undergone similar experiences, thereby reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of community. One topic that stands out in the conversation is the misconception about the stages of grief. Susana clarifies that these stages are not a one-size-fits-all process and have largely been debunked. Grief is highly individualized, influenced by various factors such as the relationship with the deceased and personal coping mechanisms. Understanding and addressing untreated or prolonged grief is crucial. Susana points out that persistent grief can lead to more serious mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or substance misuse. Recognizing these signs early and seeking appropriate counseling can make a significant difference. For those uncertain about how to support someone in grief, Susana offers practical advice: be honest, listen, and ask about the loved one. Avoid clichéd responses that can invalidate the griever's experience. The conversation also delves into children's grief, stressing that their process can differ significantly from adults and requires careful attention. Blue Ridge Hospice offers specialized services for children, including an annual camp and innovative programs like 'Adventures Through Grief,' which uses tabletop role-playing games to help teenagers process their loss. Susana stresses the importance of clear communication with children about death, offering strategies on how to approach the topic without causing additional fear or confusion. The Center for Hope and Healing plays a vital role in the community by providing resources and support for those dealing with grief. Their offerings include workshops, educational programs, and various counseling options available across different regions, making their support accessible to a broad audience. Susana also mentions an upcoming webcast focused on family dynamics and grief, aimed at professionals who support young people dealing with loss. This event highlights the need for strategic and sensitive approaches to grief within families. Wrapping up the conversation, Janet and Susana emphasize the exhaustive reach of Blue Ridge Hospice's services, which extend beyond Winchester and Frederick County to include several other areas. Those seeking support are encouraged to visit the Blue Ridge Hospice website for more information on available resources and how to connect with grief counseling services. For more details on their services and upcoming events, visit BlueRidgeHospice.org. The conversation ends on a hopeful note, encouraging anyone affected by grief to seek the support they need and reminding listeners that they are not alone in their journey.

Shownotes Grief has so many facets, and as we know the way in which we handle it can look different. Yet the common denominator is the experience of loss.. But how we deal with it, and in the manner in which we deal with it varies from person to person. Even if we know we have to address it doesn't mean we want to or feel ready. For some, tackling that feeling of sadness and sorrow can be so overwhelming. It can seem almost impossible to address.

"The greatest legacy is love." ~Dr. Kimberly Harms We all know the importance of life insurance to make certain our loved ones are financially secure after we pass on, but what can we do to ensure they are emotionally secure without us? Dr. Kimberly Harms has been around the block in life! She has served as a Commissioned Officer in the United States Public Health Service, a dental school professor, a grief counselor, a clinical dentist and practice owner with her late husband Jim in Farmington, MN, a death doula, a civil mediator, a school board Chair, President of an international women's organization, the first woman President of the Minnesota Dental Association, co-founder of the 65 Eric Harms Memorial Libraries through Books for Africa in Rwanda, an award-winning bestselling author and an international speaker. She has also suffered many personal losses, including the suicide deaths of her mother and son and the death from the broken heart of her husband, Jim. Her most important role now is as a mother to her two surviving children and grandmother to six precious grandchildren. In this episode, Jennifer Hurvitz speaks with Dr. Kimberly Harms, a grief counselor and author, about her journey from being a dentist to navigating profound personal losses, including the suicides of her mother and son. Dr. Harms shares her insights on managing grief, the importance of legacy planning, and how to prepare for death to prevent family conflicts. She emphasizes the need for emotional support and community in the grieving process. She offers practical advice on creating a legacy binder to ease the burden on loved ones after passing. The conversation is heartfelt and informative, providing listeners with valuable tools for coping with loss and fostering resilience. Thank you, Kimberly, for sharing your story of strength and vulnerability with us- and reminding us that forgiveness and reconciliation are vital in healing. Legacy planning is a gift of LOVE to your family. Grief affects everyone around you, not just the individual. Fighting through grief is essential for healing. Creating a legacy binder can ease family burdens after death. Community support is crucial during times of loss. It's critical to prepare for death to avoid family conflicts. Emotional life insurance is as important as financial planning. Grief is a long process that requires time and effort. 00:00 Introduction to Dr. Kim Harms 01:13 Journey from Dentistry to Grief Counseling 04:48 The Impact of Personal Loss 07:40 Fighting Through Grief 10:41 Lessons from Rwanda 14:31 Preparing for Death and Legacy Planning 18:20 Navigating Family Dynamics After Loss 22:23 The Importance of Support and Community 26:21 Emotional Life Insurance and Legacy Binder 30:55 Conclusion and Call to Action FIND DR.

Loss and grief are universal and profoundly human. The death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a trauma that drastically shifts the trajectory of a life—each spurs a unique grieving process that can be difficult to navigate for both the people grieving and their support systems. As a chaplain at a Level One Trauma Center in Florida, J.S. Park provides emotional and spiritual care for and comfort to those experiencing grief. His support of patients at the end of their lives, and of the loved ones who remain, adds tremendous impact and compassion to his most recent book, As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. In this episode, J.S. shares with Dr. Alexandra what his education and experience have taught him about the “right” things to say and the ways to support grieving loved ones. He offers deeply considered insights into our misguided fear of bringing up the deceased, the impact of loss on the past and the future, and how to care for both a loved one and oneself during the grieving process.
