Podcasts about grief guide

Congratulations! You did it! You made it through Christmas and New Year's! I highly doubt any bereaved person has ever had these words said to them, but today, I say them to all of you. It is tough to be a grieving person during the holidays. It is difficult to see smiling, happy faces that seem to surround you everywhere you go. It can be challenging to spend time with whole families when your own feels utterly broken, but you did it. I really loved this week's podcast with Gwen. When she suggested this topic, I have to admit, I was a little hesitant. I had made it through the holidays. I wasn't sure I really wanted to go back and do a recap, but it turns out, it was very healing to revisit how things went over the past month. I certainly remembered the challenges, but this podcast helped me think about my successes as well. This was our 6th holiday season without Andy, and each one has been unique. We were home for Christmas for the first time and did far more of our 'normal' Christmas traditions. This year, attending church was far more difficult than other Christmases have been. The present opening part of Christmas, on the other hand, was probably the most fun one yet with far more smiles than tears. Talking with Gwen on the podcast this week helped me realize that I can feel a bit of pride for everything that I was able to do, even if sometimes I still shook with sobs. Tears are not signs of failure; they are a healthy emotional release. As you listen to the podcast this week, I invite you to look back on your own holiday season. You may have done all of your normal family traditions. You may have done none of your normal family traditions. You may have been at home with a few people. You may have attended big family gatherings. It doesn't really matter how you spent your time - you made it through. You are still breathing. You are still getting out of bed in the morning. Congratulate yourself. Celebrate. Take a deep breath. You deserve it.

Grief can feel insurmountable, but what if it also held the seeds for resilience? In this episode of Bouncing Back: The Personal Resilience Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella Quek dives into this delicate topic with grief specialist Ali Mills. Together, they explore how personal resilience can be nurtured through the pain of loss. Ali Mills is a specialist grief counselor and founder of Grief Guide, a service dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of grief. With years of experience supporting people through the depths of loss, she brings a compassionate approach to counseling and supervision, guiding others to approach grief with new understanding and acceptance. In this conversation, Ali Mills explains how self-awareness plays a pivotal role in processing grief and building resilience. She discusses the importance of coping mechanisms and expressive outlets, from creative activities to mindfulness practices, to help individuals make sense of their loss and find strength. Ali Mills also shares approaches for cultivating long-term resilience after grief, illustrating what the journey beyond mourning can look like. This episode offers practical advice for anyone seeking to navigate grief more mindfully and build resilience.  Follow Ali Mills' work at: Website: http://www.griefguide.com.au/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefguide_au/  Produced by the Personal Resilience Science Labs, a division of LMSL, the Life Management Science Labs.

Since this week's livestream fell on Veteran's Day here in the US, it made Gwen and I think about ideas of sacrifice and honor. We set aside this day to honor veterans and the sacrifices that they made while fighting to defend this country. Military awards are often given as an honor for military heroism or outstanding service. Over a military career, a serviceperson might earn many such awards which can be displayed on military uniforms.  Grieving people go through many sacrifices themselves after losing loved ones. We lose not only our child but often our sense of purpose and security. We lose our hopes and dreams for the future. We may feel that life is hardly worth living. We certainly don't feel we deserve to be honored with a medal.  I honestly feel like some days I am just barely hanging on, but I was challenged by two different people this week. The first was my dear, sweet aunt Penny who has been like a mother to me since the death of my mom in college. After listening to last week's podcast with David Kessler, my aunt wrote, 'Marcy, what you have done on your grief journey fills my heart with love. I know you won't like me saying this, but you are my hero.' She was right, I didn't like hearing those words at all. I am not a hero. I can think of dozens of people who are heroes, but that certainly does not describe me.  Then Gwen challenged me again in this episode. She asked grieving parents to submit names for awards they could earn in their own grief journeys. All of the answers were amazing, but some of my personal favorites were the Changed Heart Award, the Best Fake Smile Award, and the Got Out of Bed Award. She then asked me what my award would be. I was quick to think that I really didn't deserve an award, but then I thought of Aunt Penny and being her hero.  If I am her hero, then maybe I do deserve an award. And if I can be a hero, then we can all be heroes. We may not have a special day or be able to wear a uniform covered with medals, but we can honor ourselves and each other because what we are doing is heroic, even if some days, we only earn the Got Out of Bed award.

In the last minutes of this week's interview, today's guest, Ellie, wanted to share one last thing with listeners as she looked back on her 25-year journey of grief after losing her two young children. She compared grief to the ocean. She said that sometimes, the ocean is clear and calm and beautiful while at other times storms come and it feels tumultuous. I find this an incredibly fitting comparison as I sit here writing this while a catastrophic hurricane, Hurricane Milton, is landing in Florida. At this time yesterday, the ocean likely looked beautiful and inviting along Florida's beaches while today it is destroying property and lives. That is the same feeling that we get in our grief. Sometimes, life seems relatively calm, but at other times, our grief feels like it has shredded us completely. We think we will never be able to recover. We feel like the devastation is complete and that there is no hope. Twenty-five years ago, Ellie lost her two young children, Alex and Adri, in an explosion and fire. Ellie says that in some ways, this 25th year has been the worst, not because life is harder for her now than it was all those years ago, but because she had expectations that she would feel 'better' by now. When Ellie and her husband lost their only two children, I imagine that the grief felt like Hurricane Milton. It was huge and overpowering, and it felt like their entire world had been destroyed and no good could ever enter their lives again. We know, however, that hurricanes don't last forever. In mere days, Hurricane Milton will leave Florida, but as the ocean calms, damage will still be evident. If you look closely, scars will be evident for years, possibly even decades. This, too is the case for Ellie. From the outside, her family looks complete with her husband and four children. Many people do not know that there should be six and that the two oldest are forever missing. Ellie still notices the scars and feels the daily pain of her missing children. Some days, the grief feels like soft lapping waves on the beach, but at other times, she can still feel the hurricane force winds.

Grief and loss - we all experience it, but sometimes you might not recognise that's what's going on. Grief and loss show up in life over and over again - not just with the death of a loved one, but with any kind of change that impacts our lives. Join me for this this episode of SelfKind with Erica Webb (that's me!) as I chat with grief, loss, and bereavement counsellor Ali Mills.You will hear:

After the death of your child, everything becomes more challenging. Previously easy tasks like going to the grocery store suddenly seem almost impossible. Getting out of bed and showering in the morning no longer feels automatic. You may wonder how you will be able to get through the next weeks, months, and years without your child. In today's podcast, Gwen and I sit down to talk about ways to try to find a little purpose to get out of bed and live each day. Having other family members to love and support can give us motivation to keep living, but sometimes that is not quite enough. Sometimes finding activities that give us a little peace or comfort can help us as well. Other times, it may be an activity that simply occupies our minds for a bit so we can take a little break from the overwhelming weight of grief. When I think about what has gotten me through these past six years, so many things come to mind. First and foremost are other people who have given me amazing support. Certainly for me, talking to other bereaved parents, whether through the podcast or in support groups has been life-changing. The idea of helping and accepting help from other grieving parents has helped bring a little bit of purpose back to my life and on those tough days, it is these other parents who are best at offering me comfort. However, there are times when I have to escape from the grief for a few minutes or a few hours. At those times, sitting out on my deck listening to the birds sing or playing a round of golf can help take some of the stress away. Sometimes, things that brought comfort years ago can do so again. I used to love reading fiction books as a kid but found myself too busy to do so as an adult. For the past couple of years, I have found that reading allows me to escape and put myself in a different world where the pain does not feel so sharp. Overall, everyone has different support systems and actions that bring them peace. I hope that this episode helps motivate all of you to find the people or activities that can help bring you a sense of comfort and put a little purpose back into your lives.

I cannot quite believe I have been doing the Always Andy's Mom podcast for 5 years.  As of today, there have been well over 250,000 downloads in 128 countries as we share stories from around the world. This week, we went back to talk to guests who have been with us from the beginning and others who joined us along the way. Accompanying Gwen and I for this episode are Stephanie (Ep. 3: Keyan's Mom), Chrisy (Ep. 19: Caleb's Mom), Nan (Ep. 23: Connor's Mom), and Demetra (Ep. 92: Eleni's Mom). If you have not heard these moms before or want to remind yourself of their stories, click on the links, but even if you are new to the podcast and have never listened before, you will find so much hope and healing by listening. Each of these amazing moms talks about how they struggled when they were first recorded. In Chrisy's case, she was only 148 days into her grief journey so it is understandable that she would be in the depths of her pain. On the other hand, Nan lost her Connor 11 years before recording her episode. At the time, I found myself longing to have her strength. Little did I know, however, that inwardly, Nan was struggling and only one month later, found herself hitting rock bottom at the lowest point in her grief. As I listened to each woman share years after I first met them, I saw so much growth. I found myself smiling as Stephanie found purpose again by dedicating her life to helping bereaved people through Starlight Ministries. As I smiled, however, tears also came as they so often do. Grief is hard. Grief is messy. Growth can come as months and years go by, but it is not a linear path. It is a path filled with many dark valleys and helping each other through the dark times is key. As I think back over these past 5 years, I feel so incredibly blessed that God has allowed me to meet hundreds of bereaved people from varied backgrounds from all over the world. I have become a part of their grief journey and they have become a part of mine. I cannot wait to see who will enter my life over the next 5 years. Thank you all. *To sign up for the next Starlight virtual support groups that I lead starting September 10th, email marybr@starlightmin.org. Visit starlightmin.org for more information

This week is one that I have been dreading for a while now. Every year, as the calendar turns to August, I feel my dread and anxiety go up and with that an increase in headaches and other physical symptoms as August 15th comes closer. Last year was especially bad as it was the 5 year anniversary of Andy's death. I thought this year would be better until I learned that we would have to drop our youngest son Peter off at college on August 13th. I know that most mothers have feelings of worry and sadness when their youngest child moves out of the house. For me, the feelings of worry exploded to a whole new level. I fear that as I drop him off at college, some tragic accident will occur and I will never see him again. I know that this is irrational and that most college students do not die when they go to college, but over the years, I have met many mothers whose children have died and that makes it more real. In two weeks, the podcast celebrates its 5th birthday. Five years of telling amazing stories of amazing children, but they are also hard stories. They are emotional stories of tragic accidents and prolonged illnesses. Tears often flow as we relive those final minutes or days of our child's life or the moment we heard that the unimaginable has happened. As hard as these stories are, however, they are also stories of hope and resilience. They are stories of parents who continue to get up every day after horrific tragedy. They are stories that bind us together as a community of grieving parents. As I look back on these past 5 years, I am proud of the stories we have helped tell and proud of the community we have created. As difficult as this week is for me and as real as my fears are, I know that so many of you are just a text or an email away. Six years ago, I felt very alone in my grief. I had my family and close friends, but when I looked into the world, I saw only happy, whole families. Today, as I wake up on August 15th, I feel quite different. Although I know far more stories of tragedy, I feel the strength and support of broken parents from around the globe. I know that with your help, I will get through.

Is it possible to transform the heaviness of grief into something magical?One of the most common experiences in grief is the overwhelming sense of isolation and misunderstanding.

I have thought a lot recently about blame in the context of grief. When a child dies, it is natural for feelings of blame to emerge. Whether we blame ourselves, blame our child, blame another person, or even put the blame on God, there is a lot of it to go around. Additionally, others can be very vocal about where they feel the blame should be placed when our child dies. This is often done through social media when people do not think at all about the feelings of others before throwing out hurtful comments.   Initially, after our accident, It felt important to place the blame somewhere. In some ways, the blame was actually useful to me. I could put on boxing gloves and hit a punching bag imagining I was damaging the car that hit us. It was a release for my anger and other scary emotions. In other ways, however, blame was my enemy from the beginning. I blamed myself for all of us being in the car at that moment. I imagined scenario after scenario where I had done one thing differently that would have saved Andy. Eventually, however, I came to realize that no matter whether I blamed another person or myself, blame had become a poison. While drinking that poison every day, I was not able to begin healing.   For me, the cure to the poison of blame was forgiveness. Forgiveness allowed true healing to begin and helped me feel more like myself. I was able to let go of the bitterness and anger that accompanied the blame. I have heard from others and remember thinking to myself that if I reached a point of forgiveness, that would mean that I was somehow OK with Andy dying. Let me be perfectly clear. I am NOT OK with Andy's death. I will miss Andy every day for the rest of my life. When I think about his life getting cut short I feel tremendous sadness and even some anger, but I no longer let the need for blame consume my life. That is the difference between who I was five years ago and who I am today. I hope that in their own time and way, every bereaved parent will be able to let go of the poison of blame.

When listener, Carolyn, sent us a list of topics that she thought would be great for our Livestream chats, several stood out to us as great ideas. The first one we decided to tackle concerned the Work of Grief and even more specifically having an annual grief plan in place. To be honest, the idea of a grief plan both intrigued me and gave me anxiety. I feared that if I found myself unable to follow the plan, I would feel like I had failed and I worried that I would feel worse instead of better.  After Carolyn listened Monday night, she wrote back to me giving me even more to think about. Carolyn wrote, 'My Annual Grief Plan is a dynamic document. I set goals and adjust them along the way. It changes every year. I don't feel like a failure because grief is unpredictable. I helps me to continue to move forward with love for Jimmy.' She went on to write that she had worked on her grief plan recently. Her plan has four categories: Grief, Spiritual, Health and Friends. One of her goals for this year was to start a memorial garden (see picture on website). Other goals included changes in her diet and acknowledging changes in friendships. Listening to the podcast again and reading that email got me to think about my own grief plans. I wonder if writing them down in this way would help me achieve more in my grief so I am deciding to give it a try. 1. Grief - Co-host my first grief retreat. Explore what future retreats might look like. 2. Spiritual - Increase my trust in God by being more intentional with prayer. 3. Health - Improve diet and exercise daily. 4. Friends - Go out socially with friends at least once per month. Well, there it is for the world to see. My current annual plan. Its not complicated, but hopefully having specific goals will help my focus. A few months from now, I will be able to look back and see where I am, knowing that my plan too, is a dynamic document. As I revisit the plan in 2025, it will almost certainly change, but not because I have failed in some way. It will change because my grief will change and as my grief changes, I will as well. Thank you, Carolyn, for your inspiration.

When a listener suggested that we talk about grandparents and grief, I thought that it would be a good topic for one of my Livestream episodes with Gwen, but I never realized how much I would learn myself. As you all know, Andy's 20th birthday was last week so I did not prep as much as I normally do for Livestream episodes. I did not have days of questions being posted for listeners in the week ahead of the broadcast. I posted all of the questions once on Facebook and Instagram and no comments were left at all. I had one beautiful email response to the questions that I shared on social media, but besides that, I had nothing prepared. I knew that Gwen would have a lot to contribute as she always does, but I was a little worried about my lack of preparation.   When sharing my struggles with my dear friend, Dana, Brogan's Mom, she said that she would see if her parents would be willing to be guests on the Livestream. They graciously accepted our invitation. I think it was meant to be that I didn't have a lot prepared because listening to Grandma Shirley and Papa Mike was just what I needed to do. Hearing them talk about their struggles as grandparents taught me so much and made me think about my own family as well. I know that Dana learned things about her parents' grief that she never knew before as well, and it helped spark further conversation long after the Livestream ended.   If you normally listen to the podcast by yourself, this might be one episode that you'll want to listen to with your family. I hope that listening to Dana's family be vulnerable and open may help other families do the same. As loving families, it is natural that we want to protect each other, but sometimes that protection creates walls around us and instead of grieving together, we all grieve alone instead. I pray that this episode will help families knock down some of those walls.   We are also honoring Peter and Taylor (from Episode 215: TT's Mom). Andrea honored me with the gift of memorial donations after the recent death of Peter, her amazing husband - enough for 9 months of podcast production. I am truly humbled.

What does the word ‘grace' really mean? Jenn and Sound Healer and Grief Doula Gina Breedlove both work to bring more grace into the world and share what they think it truly means while painting a picture of what their souls believe is possible for humanity. In a time of profound collective grief around the world, Gina talks about what it looks like to make grief ‘sexy' again, shares a simple practice to help your body release what it is holding onto, and encourages us to embrace grieving as something we have to do for our body as much as drinking water. She also gifts us with a bit of her sound healing magic to help you connect and unwind.   Resources: Find out more about Gina and her work at www.ginabreedlove.com - Receive your Free Grief Guidebook here: https://walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com/ - Get Gina's book, The Vibration of Grace: Sound Healing Rituals for Liberation here - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com Podcast production by Caitlin Epstein

Chris shares the connections between the loss of her mom in her 20s, her near-death experience, and the grief surrounding her relationship with Mother Earth. As someone who has always been nourished by soil, Chris encourages us to better learn how to be in relationship with the earth and where we live and to view our environmental grief as a wake up call for healing and change.   Resources: Learn more about Chris and find her 2 books Where Everything Wild Has a Home and My Two Mothers: A Collection of Poetry and Prose  at www.awaken2wonder.com   Looking for more support?

What does theater have to do with grief? In this episode, Expressive Arts Therapists Rachelle Archer and Erika Malone join Jenn to share how storytelling through Playback Theater can serve as a powerful tool for feeling seen, heard, and part of something bigger than yourself. Playback Theater is a way for people to tell their stories and see them reflected back through a theater performance, which is especially impactful for marginalized communities and those going through challenging seasons of life. It is a form of arts for social change that honors not just grief from death, but from all of life's changes.   Resources: Learn more about Rachelle and her work at www.rachellearcher.com and listen to her podcast, The Artful Leader, wherever you listen to podcasts Learn more about Erika and her work with Yellowbird Expressive Arts at /www.yellow-bird.org   Looking for more support?

Grief has a much bigger impact on our relationships that we may realize. Childhood grief and trauma has a profound impact on our relationships as adults and major losses can lead to anger and estrangement as emotions run high and communication breaks down. In this episode, award winning speaker and trauma and relationship coach Robyn Smith joins Jenn to share how we can work on ourselves to create greater depth and understanding in our relationships with others. They discuss what it really means to hold space, how we can feel more worthy and complete on our own, and how to build communication muscles so that we do not encounter as many challenges when we face a loss.   Resources: Get your Free Ultimate Communication Checklist and discover more about Robyn's work and trainings at www.robynsmith.net Join the Rock Your Relationship Sisterhood Facebook group   Looking for more support?

This episode is for all who didn't have a role model of a mother in their life. It speaks to the hurt and grief that grows when your mom didn't meet your needs when you needed her the most. Phyllis Mantelli, Author of Unmothered- Life With a Mom Who Couldn't Love Me is my guest.  Phylis describes the loss of her childhood and the grief that followed her into her adult life. But the story doesn't end there. Phylis shows us it is possible to love those who caused us harm or left us in dangerously vulnerable circumstances. She describes feeling a prescence with her that she didn't understand until she was an adult and a mom herself.  It's a story of redemption and breaking generational dysfunction. It's a story of forgiveness that is only possible through the eyes of the Father.  Connect with Phylis here: https://www.phylismantelli.com/ Find the book, Unmothered-Life With a Mom Who Couldn't Love Me here: https://www.phylismantelli.com/shop Listen to the Unmothered Podast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unmothered-podcast/id1644192925 Work with Phylis here: https://www.phylismantelli.com/1-on-1-coaching Find Phylis on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/phylismantelliauthorpage Find Phylis on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/phylismantelli/ Find Phylis on You Tube here: https://www.youtube.com/@phylismantelli Watch this episode on You Tube here: https://youtu.be/em4PpmMfVaU   Interested in working with The Grief Mentor one on one?
