Podcasts about grief works

Listener Week is when all the topics, interviews and discussions are chosen by YOU!Woman's Hour listener Elaine asked the programme to discuss the issue of having sex in later life. Elaine is in her seventies and her partner would like to resume a sexual relationship. They are both negotiating medical conditions and she feels reluctant. Elaine would like to know what is typical or normal in your seventies. Sex and relationship therapist Charlene Douglas and Dr Clare Gerada, former President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, explain the medical and emotional challenges around intimacy in later life and the accommodations that can be made if older couples want to have sex.Listener Teigan Banks got in touch. ‘I would love to talk about how losing my mum at 11 has led to attachment to maternal figures throughout my life and sometimes this can be negative. In all the grief media I see this is something I never see spoken about and it can be quite isolating. I'm sure other people who have lost parents have experienced similar things. I'm 21 now and this is something I still struggle with. I can feel guilty for these attachments as I feel like I'm forgetting my own mum. But knowing these people can't really replace my mum or be that for me.' Anita is joined by Teigan to talk about these issues and also by Julia Samuel, a psychotherapist, the author of Grief Works. Why can women's haircuts cost more than men's, at the same salon? One listener has asked us to find out. Anita is joined by Caroline Larissey, chief executive of the National Hair and Beauty Federation, a trade organisation for the hair, barbering and beauty industries, and equality lawyer Elizabeth McGlone, who has short hair.Listener Kitty Dowry wanted us to take a look at so called 'risky' sports, and to encourage us all to look at them in a different way. Kitty is a climber; she has been doing it for 10 years and wants to see more women give it a go, even those who might have written it off for fear of it being too dangerous. Kitty joins Anita, as does Hazel Findlay, a professional climber and coach. Listener Ameya is a 20 year old singer-songwriter. She joins Anita to talk about her music, explain how her songs represent her neurodiversity, and discuss why it's important for her, as a British-Indian woman, to break into the mainstream and raise awareness of autism.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

For this week's Agony Aunties, we address a listener's concern about feeling numb after the recent death of their mother. We'll talk about the stereotypes of what people think grief looks like, and then address the shock and emotional numbness that often follows sudden loss, along with the adaptation process during mourning, and when it might be necessary to seek professional help. We'll also talk about the importance of proper support systems, the timing of therapeutic interventions, and accessible resources for those dealing with grief. Resources: I've created an app to help people navigate Grief, called Grief Works. I think it can be very useful in helping work through grief and its many stages.

Welcome back to My Life In Seven Charms where today I am joined by Julia Samuel MBE - renowned Psychotherapist, Founder Patron of Child Bereavement UK and best selling author. Julia's career began as a volunteer counsellor, before joining St Mary's Hospital as their first ever counsellor supporting the families whose babies and children had died. Over the next twenty-three years, Julia learnt from those families that the response they received at the time of the death had a significant impact on how their grief progressed.  This drove Julia to become the Founder Patron of Child Bereavement UK in 1994, now the leading national charity supporting child loss and training professionals. In 2019, after twenty-five years of dedicated service to the charity, Julia stepped down from active roles whilst remaining Founder Patron. Julia now works in private practice and has written bestselling books ‘Grief Works', ‘This Too Shall Pass' and ‘Every Family Has a Story' offering guidance through trauma, and change and invaluable insight into the vital role of relationships on our well-being.  Join me as I explore Julia Samuel MBE's inspiring journey, her impactful work and the invaluable insights she has gained from helping countless families.  Welcome Julia Samuel to My Life in Seven Charms.

Picture this: you're trying to navigate through the murky waters of grief, you're overwhelmed, your heart is heavy - and then, you have to explain death to a child. How do you do that? How do you help a child understand grief? These were the tricky questions I tackled with Julia Samuel, an expert in bereavement and author of Grief Works, in this thought-provoking conversation. Julia's insights, drawn from her vast experience in the bereavement sector and her work with families whose babies and children passed away, brought new dimensions of understanding to these heavy topics.As we engaged in our candid conversation, we exchanged thoughts on the layered complexities of grief and healing. We explored the power of validation, the strength of community, and the importance of mindful parenting in fostering a healthy environment for grieving children. We touched on vital aspects of self-care and the role it plays in navigating personal grief. Julia explained our instinct to shield our children from pain and loss and how, at times, this can paradoxically hinder their understanding and acceptance of grief. We further discussed practical tools that can help those grieving, specifically the Grief Works app developed by Julia. This app is designed to support and manage the grieving process actively. We discussed its functionalities, including the 28-day course it offers, its affordability, and how it can be gifted to friends or family in need. From discussing the nuances of grief and therapy to sharing the power of vulnerability and authentic conversations in connecting with people, this conversation with Julia Samuel was profoundly enlightening, offering solace to anyone on their own personal journey through loss and grief.Web: (https://www.widowedaf.com)Instagram (@widowed_af)Watch on (YouTube)If you enjoy the show please consider subscribing and give us a review on what ever

Arguably one of our most valuable crisis conversations yet, we're joined by one of the world's best psychotherapists – author and fellow podcaster, Julia Samuel – and in this episode we focus on one of the most important, possibly the most important, theme that has come out of our conversations so far. That is grief. How we approach it, how we accept it and how we then move forward productively. In the sixty episodes we've recorded so far, we've had some incredible discussions with our guests on this subject - and so today we look back on some of those conversations with a real expert; someone who can help us navigate our way through this most difficult of crisis subjects.Julia has been helping people through loss and a range of other issues for more than thirty years. Her first counselling job was as a volunteer for Westminster Bereavement Services - where Julia found herself stepping into the homes (and indeed the lives) of people whose children had died under some of the most challenging of circumstances. It was clear early on that Julia had found her vocation. Ever since Julia has worked both in private practice and in the NHS, at London's St Mary's Hospital, where she pioneered the role of Maternity and Paediatric Psychotherapist. In 1994 Julia helped launch Child Bereavement UK, and as Founder Patron she continues to play a role in that brilliant charity today. Moreover, she has written a number of successful books including Grief Works, This Too Shall Pass and Every Family Has a Story, and she also hosts the successful podcast Therapy Works - which I could not recommend more.A huge thanks to the guests we discuss in this episode – for sharing their stories, but also to Julia for taking the time to help us take stock.

Andrew G. Marshall is a well known marital therapist and I sat down with him to discuss the grief he felt following his father's death. His understandings are rooted in his decades as a therapist and have a particular clarity I think many of you will find helpful. In this episode, we discuss: How the death of a parent in old age is still a big psychological event and brings up many related losses which are often unrecognised.  The power of the unconscious, how we can limit who we are and how we are in the world when we only focus on our conscious lives.  For those with parents who are still alive, this episode is a timely reminder to have those important conversations before they die - don't pretend they are immortal.  Be patient with friends and family - allow time, space, commit, endure and try again if they are resistant.  The power that rituals hold and how they can help us to move through the pain. Finally how, despite our fear, when we walk towards our pain that is when we can heal. It takes courage, but fear is exhausting and pervasive and this is a route to releasing yourself from it.  I won't spoil the drama in this episode but suffice to say there are some big surprises - to do with wolves, rituals and tattoos…!  Support links: Grief Works app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/grief-works-self-care-love/id1558867513 Grief Works book: https://juliasamuel.co.uk/books/grief-works Feel The Fear and Do it Anyway book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feel-Fear-Anyway-Indecision-Confidence/dp/0091907071 Find Andrew G.

Happy New Year and welcome back to Break Out Culture. Given it's January and we're all trying to give ourselves a fresh start, we're kicking the year off with a free therapy session, talking to Julia Samuel MBE, acclaimed psychotherapist, grief counsellor and author. In the wake of her popular podcast Grief Works, Julia launched Therapy Works last September, with her two psychotherapist daughters, Emily and Sophie. It's already essential listening for anyone interested in finding ways of facing and dealing with life's daily struggles, whatever they are. The podcast's guests have included Helena Bonham Carter, Alastair Campbell, Minnie Driver, Kate Ferdinand and Richard E. Grant, along with a range of lesser-known people and all display remarkable honesty as they discuss the issues they're tackling, ranging from divorce, domestic violence, step-parenting, sexual abuse and miscarriage to addiction, sexuality, identity, grief, a life-changing accident, toxic masculinity and war. It's fascinating hearing Julia, Sophie and Emily discuss their different approaches to tackling their guest's difficulties. It's a reminder that however insurmountable the obstacles in our lives seem, there are ways of dealing with them.

"Because her edict was to find that pocketful of happiness in each day. Feeling no guilt seems an incredibly generous and welcome gift to have been unexpectedly given by her." Richard E. Grant is an actor, author and director who has appeared in over 80 films and television programs, such as Withnail And I, Star Wars and was previously Oscar nominated for his supporting role in Can you Ever Forgive me?. His beloved wife Joan died in September 2021 after a battle with lung cancer and in September 2022 he released a memoir called A Pocketful of Happiness mostly written in the last year of his wife's life.  In this episode we discuss: How grief is influenced by the circumstances of death and how not having regrets is an important factor that makes the difference between a good and bad death.  Recognising that the process of grief is an oscillation between loss orientation and restoration orientation. Why it's important we update our understanding of grief, it isn't about forgetting and moving on but remembering and connecting, sometimes with the pain.  How the love for the person who you've lost never dies. Why you can experience guilt in grief and allowing yourself a pocketful of happiness can protect you against guilt.  We discuss how men and women grieve differently, and explore the possibility of new relationships after a partner has died.  We discuss the parent/child relationship, touching on boundaries, connection and what might be ok and not ok to share.  How much of life is down to luck and the power of our attitude in our outcome; when we manifest and believe in ourselves and see the negative as a challenge to be overcome rather than something that defeats us.  How important it is for friends to support us in pre-bereavement, when we are bereaved and how distressed one becomes when close friends don't show up.  Find more information on Richard:  Website: https://www.richard-e-grant.com/ Instagram: @richard.e.grant Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pocketful-Happiness-Richard-Grant/dp/1398519472  Support Links: Cruse Bereavement Support: https://www.cruse.org.uk/ Good Grief Festival: https://goodgrieffest.com/ Grief Works app: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/grief-works-self-care-love/id1558867513 Join a mission to transform one million lives and become a money coach: https://octopusmoneycoach.com/become-a-financial-coach A big thank you to our sponsor, Athletic Greens.

It's a topic that is often so hard to talk about and a question we ask ourselves: Might I have a dysfunctional family?

I have a special episode for you this week. This week features the incredible and poignant Julia Samuel MBE. She is a psychotherapist and author of several books, such as 'This too shall pass' and her recent book 'Every family has a story.' She asks some brilliant questions: What is it that enables some families to thrive when others fragment? What predicts a family breakdown? What makes a family functional or dysfunctional? Why do our families drive us so mad? Why is there no such thing as the perfect family? I think families are one of the most important, complex, joyful, infuriating, loving, and confusing things in the world. I learned so much from this episode and I know you will too. Please share it with your mum-friends who you feel should hear this. Be that person empowering, uplifting and inspiring other people and help me to do that. Let's keep sharing this wisdom and get more and more of these messages out to the people who need it. As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.

ABOUT JULIA SAMUEL MBE Julia Samuel, MBE, is a leading British psychotherapist and the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers This Too Shall Pass and Grief Works. During the last thirty years, she has worked first for the NHS and then in private practice, and she is Founder Patron of Child Bereavement UK and the Vice President of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She features regularly in the national media and has presented the podcasts A Living Loss and Grief Works.

Most of us don't like to think about death - and when we experience a bereavement we're often not prepared for the pain or willing to confront all the feelings grief can bring. Psychotherapist Julia Samuel says the paradox of grief is that we need to let it rage through us with its full force if we are to process it effectively. Julia is the author of two bestselling books about grief: Grief Works, and This Too Shall Pass, and has created www.grief-works.app. She has helped bereaved people for more than 30 years and experienced the personal pain of loss - especially following the shocking death of her close friend Princess Diana.

We explore why so many of us want to put our lives on the page. Can writing stand in for therapy? What are the ethical and moral considerations of such sharing. Julia Samuel is a psychotherapist and the author of Grief Works. Dr Lin Berwick MBE has cerebral palsy quadriplegia and became totally blind at the age of 15. She also has partial hearing loss and is a permanent wheelchair user. Now in her seventies, she has been a fierce advocate and ambassador for people with disabilities and their carers, and has written a new book On A Count of Three all about what it's like having a carer - and what she thinks carers should know. Military mums rally in protest at the decision to award former Prime Minister Tony Blair a knighthood. Hazel Hunt, whose son Richard died in Afghanistan, is considering sending back the Elizabeth Cross that her family had received as a mark of protest. Many of us will be thinking about making a change for the better now that we're in a new year. Poorna Bell, author and journalist, gives us some inspiration and talks about getting stronger, both emotionally and physically. Poorna took it literally and started weight lifting after illness and bereavement. 'Collector culture' - the swapping, collating and posting of nude images of women without their consent - is on the rise. To understand why Anita is joined by Professor of Law at Durham University, Clare McGlynn and Zara Ward, senior practitioner at the Revenge Porn Helpline. Southall Black Sisters was founded in 1979 to address the needs of Asian, African-Caribbean and minority women and to empower them to escape violence. Pragna Patel was one of the founders of Southall Black Sisters and Wednesday was her last day as Director. We talk to Pragna about her 30 years in activism.

What is Intentional Comfort? Why is it important? I'm sharing 3 conversations that paved the way for comfort to be the season 7 theme. Tune in to hear from Jenn Oglesbee, Ilene Smith, and Julia Samuels and learn more about what intentional comfort. In this episode, I'm taking a look at some of the foundational conversations that paved the way for me to choose a theme of intentional comfort and joy for season seven here on the podcast. 1. One was with Jenn Oglesbee, who is a life coach and a licensed clinical social worker. We had three conversations on Instagram Live over the summer (which you can find at my Instagram account: conversation 1, conversation 2, conversation 3). 2. Ilene Smith, the author of Moving Beyond Trauma who shared that the last 18 months have been a trauma vortex in a discussion we had in season 5. Listen to the full discussion with Ilene Smith here.  3. Julia Samuel, who is a psychotherapist who specializes in grief and wrote the book, Grief Works. She and I spoke about the importance of balancing grief with intentional times of happiness or joy. Listen to that conversation here.  I wanted to synthesize some of these ideas so that you get this kind of juicy background of how we got to intentional comfort and joy for season seven (and give you a little bit more space to play with the theme).   Resources Jenn Oglesbee's website Ilene's Smith website Julia Samuel's website   Buy Jump Start Your Joy: Heart-Centered Ways to Find Joy in The Messy Middle on Amazon (affiliate link) Follow Jump Start Your Joy on Apple Podcasts Follow Jump Start Your Joy on Spotify

I'm so pleased to bring you this s2 bonus episode sponsored by Sage Appliances, with Cariad Lloyd, which we recorded in front of a live audience a month ago. Cariad is a comedian and writer and the creator of the cult podcast, Griefcast, where she interviews famous people (usually comedians) like Robert Webb, David Baddiel and Sara Pascoe about the human experience of death and grief, and which has won multiple British Podcast Awards.    I'm really interested in grief: why we fear it (especially other people's), why we expect grief to look a certain way, the lack of nuance in our understanding of grief. What I love about Griefcast is the way it democratises grief: there is no one way to grieve. Grief, as Cariad digs into, is not just very sad, it is funny, absurd, weird and life-expanding.   You can listen to a new series of Griefcast now, on all good pod platforms and find Griefcast on Twitter @thegriefcast. Here are some helpful resources from Cariad: The Grief Network Let's Talk About Loss charity Dead Parent Club podcast The New Normal charity Bereavement Room podcast   And some books I recommend: Grief Works by Julia Samuel, And Then We Saw Stars by Jayson Greene, It's Your Loss by Robyn Donaldson and Emma Hopkinson, Languages of Loss by Sasha Bates, Sunset by Jessie Cave and The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion.

Parenting while dealing with the loss of your own parent, and parenting while battling anxiety. Neither are easy or straightforward, but are sure to become clearer to understand and deal with, as Annie and Wendy meet psychotherapist Julia Samuel. Julia specialises in grief therapy, was a bestie and confidant of the late Princess Diana, is godmother to Prince George and the author of best selling books ‘Grief Works' and ‘This Too Shall Pass'.

"The level of loss is the level of love" says Julia Samuel, Marina's guest on this episode, explaining how you cannot gauge how much grief a person will feel according to who has been lost. This is crucial in understanding grief, she argues, because if a child has lost a dog they've loved their whole life, their grief will mirror the intense bond they shared. Our developed society does many well, but understanding grief isn't one of them. And yet, all of us will, at some point experience grief and so it's crucial we understand it.

In this episode of The Sexual Wellness Sessions hosted by Psychosexual & Relationship Therapist Kate Moyle, we're discussing how the process of grieving and loss can impact sex lives and relationships. I'll be having this conversation with the world leading expert, psychotherapist, and author Julia Samuel MBE; who in her book Grief Works said “We seem happy to talk about sex or failure, or to expose our deepest vulnerabilities, but on death we are silent. It is so frightening, even alien, for many of us that we cannot find the words to voice it . . . The pain we feel is invisible, an unseen wound.” Grief and loss are not often held in conversation together with sex, but as a psychotherapist it's something that I often explore in the therapy room. Loss can shake up so much of our lives, change our thinking and our perspectives; and something that Julia often refers to in our conversation is we can't 'not know that loss is possible' once we have experienced it. We discuss the flip side of love being loss, and how for some people their most natural instinct may be to shut down and turn away from intimacy and connection; whereas for others the need to feel, and feel alive may be what they are searching for when they are grieving. We also talk about how we understand mourning, and if we can apply what we know about loss to relationship break ups.

Julia Samuel is a psychotherapist, the founder/patron of Child Bereavement UK and the author of two acclaimed non-fiction books, Grief Works and her new one, This Too Shall Pass. A book about why human beings find it so hard to navigate change, it could not have landed at a better time: when choice has been removed and major change forced upon us, by the pandemic.

In this special episode, recorded LIVE with the Arts Club Dover Street London, I am chatting to Julia Samuel, the best selling author of Grief Works, one of the leading voices on managing grief globally.

Today's guest is someone I fell in platonic love with by reading her work. Julia Samuel is one of the country's leading psychotherapists but she is also well-known as an author. Her first book, Grief Works, was a Sunday Times bestseller and is routinely cited as one of the most helpful and compassionate books on bereavement you will ever read. Her second book, This Too Shall Pass, Stories of Change, Crisis and Hopeful Beginnings, was published just before lockdown and could not have been a more insightful guide to the uncertain times we all found ourselves in. Adwoa Aboah called it 'one of the most valuable books I've ever read', while my hero Esther Perel, said it was 'a remarkable portrayal of how we need to understand ourselves to truly heal'. She joins me to talk about failing exams, failed jobs, her self-perceived failures as a mother and the impossibility of putting our emotions through a logical system. We also touch on imposter syndrome, quitting things you aren't good at, being a twin (she is one!), her close friendship with the late Princess Diana (plus what kind of godmother she is to Prince George) as well as the discomfort she feels talking about herself, rather than being the one to ask questions of a client.  I am so honoured to have Julia on the podcast. Her integrity and intelligence, forged through 30 years as a working therapist, shine through absolutely everything she does. Her work has been crucially important to me personally and I'm sure it will be to you too. As Julia says: 'We are brought up thinking life is an upward journey, a stairway to a better place, each step higher than the last. but the reality is far less certain: there are ups and downs, and the only certainty that exists is that there will be change.'  * Julia's latest book, This Too Shall Pass, is out now and available to order here. * I've written a new book! Failosophy: A Handbook For When Things Go Wrong is out in October. It's a practical, inspirational and reassuring guide to the seven principles of failure I've developed since doing this podcast. Packed full of contributions from loads of former guests, as well as listener stories, it is also beautifully illustrated by Paul Blow and I would love it if you wanted to pre-order a signed copy here.   * How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted by Elizabeth Day, produced by Naomi Mantin and Chris Sharp. We love hearing from you! To contact us, email howtofailpod@gmail.com *  Social Media: Elizabeth Day @elizabday Julia Samuel @juliasamuelmbe How To Fail @howtofailpod

Best-selling author of Grief Works and This Too Shall Pass, Julia is expert in navigating unexpected change, coming through crisis and healing after loss. Join for an intimate conversation about grief, love, loss and healing during this time. If you're struggling through Covid-19, this episode is the balm you need. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Julia worked with unimaginable form of loss for the past 25 years (loss of children). She has several pearls of wisdom to share with us in this time of uncertainty when one cannot imagine a tomorrow (literally). In this dialogue, Julia and I talk openly about the shocked of our current circumstances in the face of Covid-19 pandemic. Living losses that people are experiencing (jobs, finances, personal freedom, mind-space, relative certainty, our partners as we knew them and so on). We acknowledge that while we are all in this, everyone's experience of it is different and equally valid. We are all in shock and are experiencing fear on so many levels. As humans, whenever we face an unknown stimulus, we experience a rush of fear. That is usually the initial reaction we get. We each learn how to cope and manage this feeling based on our mental capacities, sociocultural context, resources available and belief system. In the midst of this global pandemic, one can only image different shades of emotions including anger that are present as we are experiencing the ultimate threat to our mere existence. We talk about how to be responsive as best as we can rather than stay in a reactive state. Julia invites us to be kind to ourselves, take it one day at the time and shares parts of Niebuhr's serenity prayer “Accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other”. She wants us to slow down and first notice whatever that we are feeling, then naming the emotion and through this offering the release that we need to come out of our tunneled vision that is focused on the current disaster around us. She talks about giving permission to yourself and others to be, to experience and express their emotions the way they is meaningful to them without judgement and without trying to make meanings or sense of the current situation. Julie has worked with hundreds of people through various losses and knows that some of the coping mechanisms that encourage us to look away would be harming us in long run. She invites us to gently step into the pain that we are experiencing to be able to gradually name it, feel it fully, express it, release it and move forward with it.Follow Julia Samuel on IG | Follow Dr. Sara on IG | Join our community for resources and material discussed in the black fish podcast episodes. About Julia Samuel, MBE, Msc,  MBACP (Snr Accredited) UKCP Registered Psychotherapist Julia was Psychotherapist for Paediatrics at St Mary's Hospital Paddington, the post she established in 1992, where her role for 25 years involved seeing families who have children or babies who die, and where she trained and supported the staff.

This week I'm joined by Julia Samuel MBE, who is one of the UK's leading psychotherapists, specialising in grief and loss. You may already know Julia from her brilliant book ‘Grief Works' and through her work as Founder Patron of Child Bereavement UK, which teaches authorities how to support families to rebuild their lives after loss. We had a beautiful conversation about transition and change. We talk about the change of becoming a mother, which is far more complex and challenging than ever before. We also talk about the constant change of family dynamics and how we can use these moments of transition to help us grow.  Julia's new book ‘This Too Shall Pass - Stories of Change, Crisis and Hopeful Beginnings' is released in March and is all about the challenge and power of dealing with change. I really enjoyed our conversation - it's such a privilege to sit with people like Julia who are doing such profound work in the world. My focus right now is trying to reach more mums and parents with the podcast – if this episode resonates with you, I'd love it if you could share it with a friend or loved one.

Julia Samuel’s book Grief Works contains a wealth of information and wisdom on the process of grief, grounded in years of experience as a Grief Therapist and with deep awareness of how grief can be for many people. In this inspiring conversation, Julia and Liz talk about the paradox of grief - “The essence of grief is that we are forced, through death, to confront a reality we inherently reject’ and how we can best support ourselves and each other during the painful weeks, months and years that can follow the death of someone we love. Julia has developed an App, based on her book, also called Grief Works and it will be available for trial free during the month of January 2020. To access the app, please sign-up on her website https://www.apps.psyt.co.uk/grief-works

In this episode, Dr Weston talks to the Honourable Julia Samuel MBE, author of Grief Works, about child bereavement, grief and how parents and teachers can support children and young people when someone they love passes away.

Sharon Prentice is a psychotherapist, spiritual counselor, and author of the book Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness and Light. Her journey includes having lost her daughter, and her husband, and then having a shared death experience with him when he passed away. At the time, she experienced the presence of the divine, and was instilled with a sense that everything (including the passing of two people she loved so much) was just as it should be. I’m thrilled to have her on the podcast to talk about her shared death experience, and how that event shifted so many things in her life. Inspired by the Immense Love She Felt in a Shared Death Experience One of the things that Sharon shares in her book and on the show is that at the time of her husband’s passing, she was still incredibly angry and upset with God for the loss of her daughter several years prior. Stephanie was born, and passed away the same day, and Sharon fell into a “newfound love of darkness that I carried with me always. Not as an anchor but a new way of living in the world that I had come to know was cruel and unforgiving and God-less.” This event was spiritually book ended for her when she lost her husband. In the moment that he passed, Sharon felt herself being transported into what she calls Starlight. Surrounded by love, presence, and divinity beyond words, she sensed she was whole, accepted and loved beyond comprehension by a God that she had turned away from. “I felt more whole, more forgiven than I’d ever felt before. I now felt nothing except an all-encompassing love and compassion. My heart held no fear, no anger, no grief, no struggle. I was complete just as I was -- I lacked nothing. Deep down, I suppose I had always known this; I had just forgotten it for awhile.” (pg 123) In our interview, Sharon talks about his even more. What strikes me, and why I find this inspiring is that this love and compassion is something that the Divine holds for each of us. It’s not held for just a few. When I think about this radical acceptance, I wonder what would be possible for myself if I accepted the abundance, love, and compassion that is meant for me? In this episode Sharon Prentice and I talk about: -Her early childhood at Cape Cod, dancing and listening to music -The spiritual nature of the ocean and why it draws us both in -Sharon’s work with the terminally ill, and why she feels it’s her life’s work -The spiritual nature, and root of, all therapy work -Her Shared Death Experience, and how it felt like coming home -Jesus and my favorite passage in the Bible (Father, Father, Why have you forsaken me?” -Centering Prayer and meditation -Her husband Steve’s last breath, and how it provided an entrance into a Shared Death Experience for her -How to jumpstart your joy: wake up with a smile, tell the people in your life you love them, and focused prayer Resources Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light by Sharon Prentice on Amazon Sharon Prentice’s Website Sharon Prentice PhD’s Facebook page Other resources for Grief, Death, and Dying: Episode 168: Jonni Pollard on How to Awaken to The Truth of Who You Are Episode 127: Julia Samuel on Grief Works, and the Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving Episode 141: Debbie Augenthaler on Grief, Trauma, and Healing: You Are Not Alone

This episode of dead dad podcast is a very swift pointer in a very helpful direction for anyone wanting to get their head around grief and bereavement and dead dads in a helpful and accessible way. The book is ‘Grief Works’ and the author is Julia Samuel. Get this book, get clued up and marvel at how one person can reduce any point or idea concerning grief to an eminently memorable quip or sentence. Real life experiences of counselling or therapy recipients totally normalise any reaction to grief over any timescale. A truly excellent resource.

Julia Samuel MBE joins us to discuss her work as a grief counsellor and how encountering death so frequently affects her own mental health, why death is such a taboo subject and the price we pay for this, whether it’s justified to classify prolonged grief as a mental illness, and we also explore some of the most and least helpful ways to deal with the death of a loved one. *** PATREON *** https://patreon.com/myownworstenemy *** BOOKS MENTIONED *** "Grief Works" by Julia Samuel https://amzn.to/2ympaAc *** SOCIAL MEDIA *** Facebook: http://facebook.com/myownworstenemyorg Twitter: http://twitter.com/dannydwhittaker *** CREDITS *** Theme Music: Falling Down by Ryan Little http://youtube.com/user/TheR4C2010 Podcast Image: Marcela https://flic.kr/p/tWtrS6 DISCLAIMER: My Own Worst Enemy is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.

Julia Samuel was fed up with people mentally and emotionally attacking themselves in midst of their grief. So she wrote Grief Works, a book that not only normalizes grief, but reminds us that we all grieve differently. This week, we're talking about the uniqueness of English grief, the reality of feeling grief as an energy in our bodies, and Julia's Pillars of Strength that hold up grievers in the midst of the storm. Also on the show, I'm covering a listener request: anticipatory grief—grieving before a loss occurs.

On the show this week, I’m delighted to be joined by Julia Samuel. She is a British psychotherapist who specializes in grief and bereavement, and founded the UK Child Bereavement charity, that works with children who are grieving, as well as those who are grieving the loss of a child. She is the author of Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving. Julia is a truly delightful person and I really enjoyed getting to speak with her. At first blush, grief may seem to be a strange topic to be covered on a show about joy, but, I see the two emotions as beautiful bookends to each other. Both states are vulnerable in their own ways, both grief and joy are deeply personal things, and each of us experiences them in our own ways. What I love so much about Julia Samuel’s book is that she honors and understands that the journey of grieving is different for each person, and that it’s different based on who you have lost in your life. She chose to divide the book up into sections based on the person’s relationship to the deceased. Julia explains in the interview that she chose to do this because grief is different for each person, and because she wanted the book to be a companion for people who are grieving. She made it easy to pick up, easy to read a bit at a time, easy to see yourself in one of the people she shares about. She also includes the explanations, from a clinical perspective, of what is happening in the bereavement described - the patterns, what to expect, how you might feel. It’s a book crafted for people when they are experiencing something that makes them feel separate, disconnected, alone, and isolated, and gives them support and insights during a difficult time. Julia and I talk about: Her first love of swinging on her garden swing as a child Starting Child Bereavement UK, and her work as a patron Her early influences, including the bereavement of her parents Her love of personal connection, and how that led her from a role in publishing to becoming a grief and bereavement counselor The roots and starting point for her book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving Why people shut down and isolate when they grieve, and why they judge themselves on a right or wrong way of grieving Why allowing yourself to feel the emotions of grief is important How to feel the emotions of grief and loss without being overcome by it The impacts of losing important figures like Princess Diana to society, and why so many people are deeply stirred by these tragic losses How a country processes the loss of children in tragedies like school shootings, as it raises the questions of “the existential cruelty of life” How Julia reacts to resistance, by continuing on her path How to jump start your joy: by enjoying her grandchildren’s giggles, getting in touch with nature, and watching romantic comedies and The Amazing Miss Maizel Resources Julia Samuel’s Website Julia Samuel’s book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving on Amazon If you are grieving: Julia’s 8 pillars of strength (a free download) On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Elizabeth Kubla-Ross Waking the Tiger, by Peter Levine (a book on healing trauma) The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime

Despite the many upsides of age, one of the hardest aspects of growing older is the need to face significant grief and loss. Death affects each and every one of us, but the process of mourning is still deeply misunderstood. That’s where today’s guest comes in. Julia Samuel is a grief counselor who has spent 25 years working with bereaved clients who have suffered the loss of a loved one. By learning from her hundreds of patients over the years, she has crafted a beautifully written book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving. The book provides the support, guidance, insight, and the tools we need to navigate through the difficult process of grief.  If you or someone you know is dealing with illness, death or other profound loss, you will want to be sure to hear what Julia has to say.

If you or a loved one has ever struggled with loss in your life, then do we have the Grief Works show for you.
