She is a wealth of information and has a beautiful perspective on death. She feels that our loved ones lives have to matter more than the way they died. With her past informing her present, this is an uplifting show more about love than loss.

Sharing my process I hope brings some hidden gems that I'm uncovering everyday. Also, I feel called to be vulnerable and open to my process. As a birth worker I find that there are so many comparisons to grief and birth, but I don't find many folks openly talking about it as normal as it is...This is day 35/40 of me integrating life in new ways since my Dad passed away in his sleep. Today I talk about the snow, resourcefulness and my grief process. (p.s. lol I didn't edit my burp...whoops)

On today's episode we discuss important findings from scientific research that can deepen our understanding of grief and help us work toward a compassionate conceptualization of grief and the purpose it serves in our lives. We also focus on 5 key considerations that can not only support us as we navigate grief individually and collectively but also enhance the support and solace we offer to others who are grieving.

Grief sucks. I've had to figure out how to Iive amidst so much ache this week while surrendering completely to the pain and whirlwind of letting go. It's sad, variable to each person, private, personal and something that we can also relate to as a universal experience. Thanks for listening, not sure if this is the best medium to help me to process, so I may take a breather and come back... thanks for listening

When Jan Warner's husband died in 2009, she felt as though her entire existence had been blown apart. Jan channeled that energy into creating Grief Speaks Out, a Facebook page with more than 2.4 million members from around the world, and into her book “Grief Day by Day.” She knows grief is an impossibly difficult landscape to navigate in normal times but in the midst of a pandemic things can seem even more difficult than before.  Jan Warner has led an eclectic life. With a Master's in Counseling degree and training in hypnotherapy and NLP she has worked in child abuse prevention and suicide prevention. For a time, she owned a book store called The Turning Page. Jan never imagined that her life work would become supporting grieving people and educating others about the true nature of grief. Her FB page Grief Speaks Out is a loving community of over 2.4 million people from almost every country in the world. Her book, Grief Day by Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living with Loss has sold more than 25,000 copies. Before the pandemic Jan was a vagabond who has been to all seven continents. She has produced documentary films and an off-Broadway play. Her favorite role in life is being a grandmother. Find out more about Jan and her work at facebook.com/griefspeaksout.

Ten years ago, Jan Warner lost the “person who held her kite string”—her husband Artie. In the years after his death, Jan wrestled with suicidal thoughts and the urge to wallow. She began writing in an attempt to wear different “perspecticles” about her loss, and in 2018, she published a book called Grief Day by Day that speaks to grievers through a year’s worth of quotes and exercises. Today, we’re talking about the very real feeling of wanting to die after a loved one dies, changing how we measure effort and productivity after loss, and how to reframe “Is this normal?” into another, more important question.

Join our hosts Kristin Walker and The Mental Health Comedian, Frank King, for a wonderful discussion about grief - we'd say a unique one. Jan Warner joins us and we quickly experienced why her book and her discussions about grief are so popular.About Jan WarnerWhen my husband died I thought I would miss him very much and be sad. i didn't know I would feel totally devastated. After the first chaotic year I needed to find meaning again in a life that seemed meaningless without him. I decided to honor him by being available to grieving people the way he, as a recovering alcoholic, was available to alcoholics and addicts. I started a blog and then the Facebook page Grief Speaks Out. My goal was to reach one person. I had no idea that the Facebook page would become a supportive community of over 2 million people from almost every country in the world. Now I have a written a book to be able to share my experience in how to be fully alive with grief. I believe that honoring grief is honoring love. I want my husband's life to matter more than his death but I will always grieve his loss. My goal was to have more productive moments and more joyous moments. I love being a grandmother. I have produced plays and documentary films. I love to travel around the world and have been to all seven continents. Even after nine years there are days when everything falls apart. I have a letter from my husband telling me how he watches me fall down and then get back up again. He writes that he loves me and is proud of me for this. I hope I am still making him proud. It seems impossible that I have lived on so long without him. Yet, within that impossibility, I have had many adventures I never could have imagined. What I have been told most often is that I articulate what other people are thinking and cannot find the words to say. Whatever brought you to this page, whatever you are feeling is exactly where you should be. Whatever changes you wish you could make, you can - but in your own time - when you are ready. Together we can find ways to have our grief inspire us rather than deaden us.I have a Master's in Counseling Degree and have studied NLP, Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neo-Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. I have been doing my FB page www.Facebook.com/GriefSpeaksOut for over 5 years. It is humbling to think that I have created such a loving, supportive, international community for myself and fellow grievers. i hope Grief Day by Day will also be a loving support for grief warriors everywhere.

In the fourteenth episode of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast, I interview Jan Warner, author of Grief Day by Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living With Loss. During this episode, Jan shares how her deep love for her husband Artie lives on, how to deal with people who just don't understand, and how Grief Day by Day can help you become your own "grief whisperer." What I love about this interview with Jan is her honest and unfiltered view of life after loss that balances the reality of the pain of loss with the love and levity that helps you continue to live on - with their memory right by your side. The book itself is a fantastic resource - easy to read and offered in small, daily bites that will help you take the next best step for you. About Jan Warner When my husband died I thought I would sadly miss him. Instead I was devastated. After the first chaotic year I began to rebuild my life by honoring him. I became available to grieving people the way he, as a recovering alcoholic, was available to alcoholics and addicts. I wrote a blog. Five years ago, I started a FB page, Grief Speaks Out at www.Facebook.com/GriefSpeaksOut. It is a loving, supportive international community of 2.4 million people. My book, Grief Day By Day: Simple Practices and Daily Guidance for Living With Loss has been called a soothing balm for a wound and an outstretched hand in friendship.  I have a Master's in Counseling Degree and have studied NLP, and hypnotherapy. In becoming fully alive with grief I have produced documentary films and an off-Broadway play. I'm a vagabond who has been to all seven continents. I love being a grandmother.
