Episode Title: Shattered Trust: Finding Hope in Grief  Episode Description: In this heartfelt episode of Healing Starts with a Heart, grief specialist Sharon Brubaker delves into the complex and little-discussed topic of grooming in the context of grief. Grievers are often in a state of heightened emotional vulnerability, which can make them susceptible to predatory behavior. Sharon sits down with guest Sherry Young, who bravely shares her personal experience of being groomed and scammed during her grieving process. Together, they explore the tactics used by groomers, the emotional toll it takes, and how to recognize and protect oneself from such situations. Key Points Discussed: What is Grooming? An explanation of grooming and its psychological impact on individuals, especially those who are grieving. Grooming vs. Scamming: The Link How grooming often serves as a precursor to financial or emotional exploitation. Personal Story: Sherry's Journey Sherry candidly shares her experience of being groomed and scammed after personal loss, shedding light on the subtle ways groomers build trust. Recognizing the Red Flags Key behaviors to watch for when forming new relationships during times of grief. The Role of Community and Support Why having a strong support system can help shield against vulnerability. Healing After Betrayal How to process the emotional scars of being groomed and reclaim your sense of trust and security. Journal Questions: Have you ever felt unusually drawn to someone who later let you down? What made them seem trustworthy at first? Reflect on a time you ignored a gut feeling about someone. What happened, and how did it shape your view of intuition? In what ways do you ensure your emotional safety when meeting new people, especially during vulnerable periods? What can you do to build a strong support system to rely on during times of emotional distress? How can you reclaim your narrative and strength after experiencing emotional manipulation? Conclusion: This episode emphasizes the importance of trusting your instincts, leaning on your support network, and recognizing your worth, even during grief. Healing from loss is challenging enough—understanding and avoiding manipulation is a critical step in safeguarding your emotional journey.

Kathryn interviews Author Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LCSW.All of us will experience loss in our lives, and with loss comes grief. Still, nothing really prepares you for the toll grief takes. As Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LCSW explains, grief doesn't just happen in your mind — it's a five-senses experience that impacts all physical systems. “Grievers end up stunned by what a full-contact sport grief ends up being.” Anyone who has struggled with grief knows that there are many questions that come with the journey. With more than two decades of experience as a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, she helps readers make sense of their emotional experience with grief. Meghan is a TEDx speaker and hosts the popular blog and podcast Grief Is My Side Hustle. She offers a free writing workshop, Grief Mates.Kathryn also interviews Author Dr. Dawn Filos.Whether it's a NSFW (not safe for work) encounter with a bra-selling pet parent or a touching farewell to a beloved family dog - Dr. Dawn Filos brings us a variety of tales underscoring the deep connection and mutual affection between pets and their owners. With a blend of touching stories and professional knowledge, she shares her journey from a nervous - and sometimes fainting - veterinary student who lost a prized racehorse - to a confident veterinarian with 3 decades of experience in both Eastern and Western medicine with viral social media videos and an informational, and at times deeply personal blog. Her candid narrative style brings to light the realities of a mobile veterinary practice, where every day is brand new, and every pet has a story worth telling. Retiring after 30 years, she realized a decades-long dream to add “pet portraitist” to her list of talents.

Let me know if you need anything is a phrase people usually mean when they say it, yet grievers will never say what they need. Some don't have the energy to, and others might not be aware of what exactly they need.In today's episode, I'm joined by Certified Business Coach, Founder and CEO of Essential Coaching, and grief survivor, Andrea Betschart. Andrea lost her husband about 9 years ago in a mountain climbing accident in the Netherlands. The loss of her husband didn't take away her love for the mountains, where she feels powerful and safe; instead, it helped her find her inner strength, enticed her resilience, and brought a wonderful opportunity to learn how to manage her emotions.Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Andrea's unique approach to grief, and her methods to cope with the loss of her husband. Andrea also talks about her relationship with the mountains, where she and her husband taught their children to climb, why she kept mountain climbing despite the sorrow she might encounter there sometimes, and the beautiful dynamic she developed with her children to deal with sadness.Tune in to episode 248 of Grief and Happiness to discover new ways of offering support and care for those in pain.

Today's episode features a presentation on sibling loss from last fall's Our Hearts Are Home conference, led by my daughter Bethany Sullivan.   My husband Brad and I also make an appearance in her presentation, and you'll hear a very honest discussion between the three of us about things we did right and things we did wrong as we continue to parent her through her grief.  It's a live presentation in a church, so the audio is not quite as good as if it were recorded in a studio, but hopefully that won't be too much of an issue for you.  This is an episode you'll want to listen to yourself first, then maybe share with your children to open up lines of communication about their own grief.  I hope it is a blessing to you.  All views expressed by guests on this podcast are theirs alone, and may not represent the Statement of Faith and Statement of Beliefs of the While We're Waiting ministry.

What do we say to a grieving friend? So often we either freeze and do nothing or blurt a common condolence and come away wondering if we've been of any real help. Join Dana Lacy Amarisa, author of the engaging and insightful book, Condolences Pocket Guide: What to Say and Not to Say to Grievers, in her unique presentation that reveals the source of the gap between what we say and what sad folks need—and the steps for bridging that gap.

Through anecdotes and practical tips, learn the four types of condolences to avoid, discover those in your life who might be experiencing misunderstood losses, and come away with the skills and confidence to offer genuine consolation to a grieving friend. Dr. Nate Hinerman's unique approaches to research and treatment intermingle both the philosophical and psychological in human suffering, dying, loss, grief, depression, and anxiety.

I had such a great discussion with Jordan Arogeti for this episode. Jordan and her company have a new tool called Support Now. It's a bit like a mashup of some tools you may be familiar with, such as CaringBridge, Go Fund Me, and online meal trains. But it's SO much more than that. In preparing to speak with Jordan, I had an “Ah-Ha!” moment: Support for the newest grievers is all about ORGANIZING and ORIENTING a widowed parent's own community. ORGANIZING: Support Now is a comprehensive tool that facilitates exactly this. Listen to my discussion with Jordan for a good overview. ORIENTING: I have LOTS of thoughts. Some of them you can find now at GriefAllies.com, where you can download my free tips & resources for supporting grieving people. (And stay tuned for more on this!) In the short term, a widowed parent's own community is going to be best positioned to help them with urgent and immediate needs. I'm working on ways to make that easier and less awkward. And then, of course, to introduce resources, books, experts, and more who can help after those immediate-term needs have been tended to. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.

Mira Simone joins Jaclyn in this episode for an open and important discussion about kindness within the grief space.Trigger warning. This interview discusses a specific person's experience with death and trauma. Mira is a widow, mother, published writer, grief coach, and grief educator. She is also a registered mental health occupational therapist in Ontario, Canada.In early 2019, Mira's life was entirely blown apart, when her partner Brian was diagnosed with an unbelievably aggressive cancer. He died seven weeks later, leaving her alone with their almost three-year-old daughter. Almost immediately, Mira followed an uncontrollable urge to write about her grief publicly on social media and began publishing essays, as a way to process and give voice to the loneliness of her experience. The response was profound. Her following grew, as more and more widows, grievers, and grief-curious humans joined her community, craving a more open dialogue around the grieving process.In 2022, Mira launched New Moon Mira, her grief coaching business, through which she supports widows and grievers in more intimate group settings both in-person and online and provides grief literacy training for grief-support people and healthcare professionals.This podcast is one of the many ways we live out our organization's mission to educate and inspire people to choose kindness.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of "Healing Starts with the Heart." I'm Sharon, your host, and today we're going to talk about something really important: the choices we have as grievers. Often, when we're grieving, it feels like we have no control over anything. But guess what? That's not entirely true. Even in grief, we have choices. You have the choice to stay where you are or to go somewhere new. It's okay to say no to things you don't feel ready for. And you know what? It's perfectly fine to ask for help when you need it. Or you can choose to handle things on your own. Some days, you might want to sleep all day, and that's okay. If you feel like crying in public, that's okay too. You can go to a party and have fun, even if you're grieving. Eat what you want, when you want. If you need companionship, reach out to someone. Or, if you prefer to be alone, that's a valid choice as well. It's okay to feel sad, and it's okay to change your routine or the things you used to do. You don't always have to have all the answers. And most importantly, you can choose to heal, in your own time and in your own way. Remember, grief doesn't take away your power to make choices. Every day, you can make small decisions that are right for you. Thank you for tuning in to "Healing Starts with the Heart." Your journey is unique, and your choices are valid. Take care of yourselves, and I'll talk to you in the next episode. https://beacons.ai/thegriefschool

When you're in the grief club, other grievers can be the most supportive because they “get it.”  So it makes sense that even  the Church acknowledges Saints who've experienced loss. After all, Saints are people just like us, enduring sadness, anger, loneliness and suffering. If there's one saint who understands loss, it's none other than St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Losing her mother at an early age, then her husband, her sister in law, and two of her children she was no stranger to grief. She's not only the Patron Saint of Grievers but also the first American born Saint, and patron of converts and teachers. On today's episode Jennifer and Andrea discuss  how this patron Saint of the Mourning Glory Podcast used her losses to beautify God's plan  Both ladies look at how St. Elizabeth's life served as an example of persevering despite hardship and what she can teach us about leaning on God in hard times.  If you have a question or would like to connect with Andrea and Jennifer, email us at ⁠mourningglorypodcast@gmail.com⁠ or reach out to them directly through ⁠Instagram ⁠or ⁠Facebook⁠. ⁠www.andreabearauthor.com⁠ ⁠www.jenniferjthomas.com

Danielle Dulsky shares her new book Bones & Honey: A Heathen Prayer Book. Heathen is another word for dweller of the hearth. This devotional book is filled with prayers, stories, and poetry inspired by nature and paganism. It offers a way to heal from modernity using spiritual nourishment, spellwork, and eco-devotional language. You can read it slowly or all at once, and it's perfect for anyone seeking daily spiritual inspiration. In her book "Bones & Honey," Danielle Dulsky delves into the growing trend of people embracing a slower, more mindful way of living that is rooted in sustainability and a deep connection with the Earth. Through the exploration of thirteen archetypes and their corresponding themes, such as the Mountain Mage (representing solitude), the Bone-Witch (symbolizing grief), the Heathen Queen (embodying empowerment), and the Shepherd (reflecting nurturing), Dulsky invites readers to embark on a journey towards the "third road"- a path that emerges from the tension between opposing forces. With its rich symbolism and insightful wisdom, "Bones & Honey" offers a guide to a more meaningful and fulfilling life that is in harmony with nature. In the practice of Danielle, the use of "bones" and "honey" is quite common. Bones refer to the remains that are left after an initiation when everything else falls apart. They are associated with darkness, death, and dying. Honey, on the other hand, is a symbol of life's sweetness, golden medicine, and a promise of renewal. In witchcraft, art, and life, it is essential to understand and embrace both aspects. We must acknowledge the transient nature of our existence and have the wisdom to appreciate and celebrate the beauty of our time on this planet. Bones & Honey is arranged into the following thirteen books that are organized around specific archetypes and their themes: Book of Stars: Prayers for Hope's Troublemakers, Impossible Freaks, and Stubborn Visionaries Book of Wild Lovers: Prayers for Lust, Seduction, and Majestic Relatedness Book of the Bone-Witch: Prayers for Grievers, Death Walkers, and Shadow Kin Book of the Heathen Queen: Prayers for Empowerment, Sovereignty, and Truth Telling Book of the Moon: Prayers for Secret Keepers, Midnight Poets, and Fringe Dwellers Book of the Mountain Mage: Prayers for Sacred Solitude, Transformation, and Inner Alchemy Book of the Wounded Healer: Prayers for Heartache, Healing, and the Shining Self Book of the Nameless Grandmothers: Prayers for Ancestral Healing, Lineage Exploration, and Forgiveness Book of the Pagan Warrioress: Prayers for Battle, Bone Gathering, and Rough Beauty Book of the Botanical Babe: Prayers for Innocents, Beginnings, and Wild Children Book of the Shepherd: Prayers for Nurturing, Self-Love, and Space Tending Book of Shape-Shifters: Prayers for Time Weavers, Human Evolution, and Strange Futures Book of Bones and Honey: Prayers for the Bittersweetness of a Most Heathen Life Danielle believes in the power of the wild feminine and human-to-nature intimacy. She is the author of The Holy Wild: A Heathen Bible for the Untamed Woman and Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within. She translates the wild feminine into motherhood, magick, multimedia art, and teachings of embodied spirituality, writing, and movement alchemy. Danielle is a Celtic free-style Witch, a lover of Irish Paganism, an E-RYT500 and YACEP through Yoga Alliance, a mist-dweller, and a shadow-walker. May all beings come home to the wilds. www.danielledulsky.com

Sending a message to someone we love on the wind using a Wind Phone is a beautiful way to express grief.  Amy Dawson knows the power of being able to express grief emotions.  She's a Master Grief Coach and manages the My Wind Phone website. Amy didn't originate the Wind Phone but she promotes the phones on her website.  The first Wind Phone was created in Japan by Itaru Sasaki, using a phone booth and a rotary phone.  The phones aren't connected to any phone lines or modern wireless service.  The person using the Wind Phone can talk into the phone, expressing their grief over a loss.  It's a dedicated space for grief, private, and secure.  Sasaki had created a way to continue communication after the death of a loved one. Amy knows about grief, having experienced the loss of her daughter Emily from a terminal illness just after the start of the pandemic.  Amy had read about Wind Phones, and felt drawn to the phones as a way of staying connected to Emily.  Connecting people with the phones, and seeing the comfort they provide, gives Amy joy.  Here's what Amy writes about her story:  As of November 1, 2023, I have located and mapped over 165 Wind Phones, and new ones are added regularly.

Sending a message to someone we love on the wind using a Wind Phone is a beautiful way to express grief. Amy Dawson knows the power of being able to express grief emotions. She's a Master Grief Coach and manages the My Wind Phone website. Amy didn't originate the Wind Phone but she promotes the phones on her website. The first Wind Phone was created in Japan by Itaru Sasaki, using a phone booth and a rotary phone. The phones aren't connected to any phone lines or modern wireless service. The person using the Wind Phone can talk into the phone, expressing their grief over a loss. It's a dedicated space for grief, private, secure. Sasaki had created a way to continue communication after the death of a loved one. Amy knows about grief, having experienced the loss of her daughter Emily from a terminal illness just after the start of the pandemic. Amy had read about Wind Phones, and felt drawn to the phones as a way of staying connected to Emily. Connecting people with the phones, and seeing the comfort they provide, gives Amy joy. Here's what Amy writes about her story: As of November 1, 2023, I have located and mapped over 165 Wind Phones, and new ones are added regularly. Exceptional, caring individuals inspired by Itaru have created and installed beautiful versions of a wind phone, sacred spaces for people to reflect and heal their grief. A place where those who grieve can continue and deepen their connection to the people they love on the other side. We often hear that when there is deep grief, there is great love; it is true.

In episode 2 of the grief series, we speak with my best friend, Samantha Tiger. It has been a passion of hers to speak up around sibling loss after having gone through losing her brother.

Surviving Grief with Lisa Zoll. How do first responders deal with death? They face it almost daily, and yet have to continue on their work. In this episode Conrad talks with Lisa Zoll who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping clients challenged by loss, grief, and trauma. WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FRANK TALK ABOUT DEATH AND SUICIDE. Her experience as a volunteer firefighter and EMT at Camp Hill Fire Department, Company 14 led her to become a trainer and volunteer for the Keystone Crisis Intervention Team (KCIT) and to join with On the Job and Off's First Responder Assistance Program to provide mental health services to first responders. Lisa believes that when grievers tell their stories, they are often struggling to make sense of the event.  Grievers, telling and retelling their stories, are an integral part of the grieving process.  She has developed an approach for how we look at the journey of grief that removed the stages, expectations, time frames, and banishes the word closure.  The approach is more about weaving your loss into your life and honoring your journey instead of treating it like a problem to be solved. Lisa graduated with her MSW from Temple University, Harrisburg in 2003.  Lisa's experience includes 12 years as a Clinical Psychiatric Specialist at the Penn State University Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania, working in the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program and Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic.  In 2008, Lisa began teaching Loss & Grief as an Adjunct Instructor in the Master of Social Work at Temple University, Harrisburg.  In 2014 she was appointed as a full-time faculty instructor where she taught courses across the curriculum until the closure of the program. Lisa founded “Grief Relief, LLC” in 2019 and specializes in helping clients challenged by loss, grief, and trauma. She has published several articles and has spoken on the local, state, and national level about loss and grief and how they can impact individuals, families, communities, and organizations. She completed EMDR training in January 2022.  Learn more about Lisa and Grief Relief: https://www.griefrelieftherapy.com/ +++++ First Responder Wellness Podcast Patreon Channel: https://www.patreon.com/FirstResponderWellnessPodcast PTSD911 Documentary: https://ptsd911movie.com/ Purchase the PTSD911 film for your public safety agency or organization: https://ptsd911.myshopify.com/products/ptsd911-digital-toolkit-pre-orders-only  

Susan, your host, welcomes Maria Belanic to today's conversation. Maria is a mother grandmother and grief mentor. Like many parents, she never thought about the unimaginable happening until it did. When her oldest son died of leukemia in 2009, it felt like her heart had shattered into pieces leaving her feeling broken and lost. For years it was a roller coaster of emotions that led to isolation and ill health.   Through her experience, she discovered strategies and tools to heal and find inner peace. This is not about getting over it or moving on; her journey made her passionate about helping others feel acknowledged and find ways to heal.   Ultimately, you are the expert on your grief.   Key Takeaways: Maria shares her grief story of when her son was diagnosed with cancer and fought it for 11 years. Maria's son was given 48 hours to live but lived for over three months. Maria and Susan share their feelings regarding people's ability to show empathy and compassion for their grief and everything involved in it. Grief changes with time and Maria recognizes herself as an unapologetic griever. Maria calls the anniversary of her son's death the death day; she feels “anniversary” is something to celebrate, while his death isn't. The times leading to the events are far worse than the day itself. Grievers tend to worry about other people's feelings; who is worrying about your feelings? Some people will judge your feelings. You are grieving, do it your way; some will just not get it. Grief can make you work on autopilot; you are functioning, but you are not fully present at the moment. After a while, you must stop pretending; if they can't take your authentic self, maybe they are not the right people to be with. Leaning into your feelings is much better help than running away from them. As a griever, you want to share memories about your person. It is not a competition; your loss will always be the worst for you. Maria shares how she turned trauma into her mission. Our unresolved feelings will appear during grief. Give yourself compassion; stop pressuring yourself. Grief needs to be witnessed. We have been taught to repress our feelings since we were young and that stays with us. Allow your feelings to express themselves, they are not mistaken. There is no right or wrong way to grieve; honor your feelings.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com If you find this episode helpful, please donate.   Meet Maria Belanic Follow Maria on Instagram Visit Maria Belanic's Website Gift: 5 Secrets to Unlock Self-Compassion How to Harness Self-Care for Grievers: A Path to Emotional Healing   Quotes: “Hope should never be given or taken away from anyone.”   “When you are a caregiver, you put other people's needs in front of your own.”   “All of our emotions are information to us.”   “Sometimes it is courageous to just wake up in the morning.”   “Turn your trauma into purpose.”

Are you a loved one in grief struggling with an emotional rollercoaster you can't get off of and feeling robbed from moments of what could have been? Should have been? Are you a self-proclaimed empath, constantly absorbing the emotions of those around you? Did the person you were before fade a long time ago - only to be replaced with the irritability, restlessness, and numbness of this new normal? Love has given you moments you would not trade. It has given you a beautiful family, pets that feel like children, and opportunity for growth - but you're always still unhappy. People see strength when they look at you. They admire how you keep going - but all you see when you look in the mirror is a reminder of what isn't. Just like those 2am thoughts you can't run from, crying out to a God you can't forgive, “Why'd you take them? Why now?” The desperation... the guilt... I should have called more, hugged you more, said sorry more... In this podcast, I hand the mic over to heaven and with spirit's guidance, I help you learn how to understand your angel signs and grow your intuitive gifts. You should expect to hear unfiltered conversations and insights that feel real, raw, and relatable.  My name is Mari. I'm a grief survivor turned intuitive medium. I'm a wife and fur mom. I grew up on a basketball court, so I didn't spend my Sunday mornings at church or my Friday nights chasing the latest ghost story. I talked aloud to my loved ones after their passing, sometimes asking them questions and sometimes lecturing them for not being here anymore - but I didn't hear them talking back until I found myself within the walls of a fertility clinic. I love God, but I've had my own personal struggles and misalignment with some of the Church messages. I know what it's like to feel stuck in a cycle of irritability, restlessness, and numbness. I know what it's like to cry out to God feeling robbed from moments of what could have been. I know your empathy, your worry for everyone else more than yourself. I tried to filter myself, put on a happy face, and look for external love to make me feel whole - but it just left me feeling lost, angry, and disconnected. I finally realized I needed to find my true self, let go of society's expectations, and lean into love and curiosity. I'm still learning to trust my intuition and align these physical losses with my spiritual gifts. Care to come along the journey together? If you are ready to lower the volume of your inner critic, take off the masks society imposes on you, and lean into spirituality with an open mind so you can find who you truly are, where growth is measured by happiness and angel signs are both undeniable and filled with love, then welcome, this podcast is for you! I encourage you to keep what resonates and leave what doesn't.  It's time for that long-awaited call to Heaven. Put your phone down, light an incense, and run the bath.

Susan, your host, welcomes Emily Grace. Emily started her career as a shy people-pleaser who overworked to prove her worth in the world and relied on others for validation and approval. Now, she is a leading international feminine embodiment coach, living from her authentic, feminine self. She is proof that your sensitivity and femininity can be your greatest superpowers if you learn to embrace them.   Having navigated her own internal struggles (including PTSD, grief, depression & anxiety & addiction), she now helps other women do the same, especially through challenging transitions. She guides women to trust themselves, to honor their value, to process their emotions in a safe environment, and to embody their purpose. The result is an authentic embodiment of self.   Emily saw how so many high-achieving, sensitive women were letting their sensitive, emotional side of themselves hold them back in their lives and careers as they tried to fit themselves into masculine templates for success and leadership. Emily created systems to support women in unsubscribing from these ways of being and instead creating their own lane for success. Through her signature program Reclaim, online courses, books, and retreats, Emily has helped hundreds of women reclaim their true selves, embody their wholeness, embrace their sensitivity and femininity as gifts, and honor their soul's calling. She is certified in trauma-sensitive feminine embodiment coaching, integrative wellness life coaching, aromatherapy, and breathwork facilitation.   Emily is also a sought-after speaker, the author of Wholeness Within: Insights from One Woman's Journey of Creating a Life and Career in Alignment, and the podcast host of Guide to Wholeness.    Key Takeaways: Emily shares her grief story that began with the death of her father, with whom she had a complicated relationship. Pay attention to your feelings and emotions arising through your grief, identify them, and feel them. You can pay it forward in many ways; you don't have to have a coaching certificate. Every grief is different; there is no better or worse grief or death. Grievers often feel they are doing it wrong. Be kind to yourself, give yourself a break, and let your feelings be! Healthy boundaries also mean not holding space for certain people and walking away from relationships that are not serving you anymore. Susan addresses the different layers of grief and the many losses involved, including some friendships. Breathwork helps to feel and clear emotions and also to get you closer to your intuition. Forgiveness is crucially important in your healing process, leading you to be more of your authentic self. Make space for your grief, and create a ritual around it.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com If you find this episode helpful, please donate.   Meet Emily Grace Visit Grace's Website, Guide to Wholeness, and her work as a Medium.

I had such a great discussion with Chris Buchanan for this episode. Chris has written a graphic novel for grieving teens and kids – something that is unique among the grief literature. She was inspired to write this book because of a death in her community, and she brought her many years of expertise as a speech-language pathologist to the task of writing this book in order to create a different type of resource for parents and professionals working with grieving children and teens. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Help Texts - Grief support text messaging service.

After a few months off the podcast taking care of my sick soul-pup he peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge. Today I'm back, feeling a lot lighter, and talking all things pet loss and pet grief. In this episode of In The Meadow I cover what helped me through the disenfranchised grief of losing a fur baby, how to help others in your life when they lose one, and ways to create pet memorials (whether your fur baby is still here or passed!). This episode title might be something avoidant feeling to some, and I understand that, but I promise it's a happy approach of what I wish I knew and took the time to think about before unexpectedly having to face euthanizing my sweet pup.References from the Ep (Books, Creators and More!)Cuddle Clones 15% off Discount Code: VIC15XBooks mentioned:Good Greif: On Loving Pets Here and Hereafter by E.B BartelsHow to Carry What Can't Be Fixed (workbook) by Megan DivineAnd I Love You Still (workbook) by Julianne CorbinWill You Love Me by Barby KeelThe Invisible Leash (picture book) by Partice KarstLove Notes to Grievers by Angela MorrisSmall Businesses for Pet Memorials and Creators Mentioned:Mickey Alice Kwapis for Eye Pendants and Pet Nose Impression KitsForget Me Not Jewels for Cremation JewelryCuddle Clones for Pet Replica Stuffed AnimalsRainbow Bridge Raina on Tiktok for Comforting ContentFor more on my personal pet loss and pet grief experience you can find me on Instagram with highlights at vicinthemeadow and on Tiktok at vicsauce.For inquiries and partnerships please e-mail vicinthemeadow@gmail.com (business only) Hosted on Acast.

Mi Alma is helping grievers by bringing together friends, family, and coworkers to provide the help they need most.   Co-founders Jordan and Scott  Arogeti realized we're not very good at supporting grievers.  They've created a place that provides opportunities to record legacies through photos, videos, and memory sharing. It was important to Jordan and Scott that Mi Alma's services provide a sense of intergenerational connection.   Mi Alma was also created with the purpose of making loss feel less lonely.  Mi Alma's Support Registry includes: Funds: Crowdsource support for medical bills, funeral costs, and more. Food: Direct supporters toward Mealtrain, meals, and grocery needs. Volunteer: Organize lists of volunteers for tasks, to-dos, and in-person help. Memories: Collect pictures and stories in one place Mi Alma's site provides one-stop shopping, allowing users to offer whatever support they're able to give according to the specific needs of those who are grieving.  In a time when we're distanced and unsure of what to do when there's a loss, Mi Alma offers grievers a place to communicate their customized needs.  That includes meals, volunteer needs, financial assistance, and the sharing of memories.  They're supporting grievers by leading with empathy.  Jordan's Big Pop would be so proud.  Connect with Mi Alma's services at mialma.com.

Susan, your host, welcomes Martha Hunt Handler to today's episode. Martha is the award-winning author of Winter of the Wolf, a novel that tells the story of Bean, an empathic and spiritually evolved teenage girl who sets out to discover the truth about the mysterious death of her beloved brother and finds herself on a journey of healing and self-discovery.   The novel is inspired by the death of Martha's best friend's 12-year-old son and covers several important themes, including suicide, grief, spirituality, human connection to nature, shamanism, and native Inuit culture. It is an Amazon bestseller and was chosen as a Barnes and Noble Top Indy Pick.   Apart from being a successful author, Martha is an environmentalist and fierce wolf advocate. She serves as the Board President of the Wolf Conservation Center, where 100% of her author proceeds go to support the organization.   Key Takeaways: Martha shares her grief story that started when her friend lost her 12-year-old son. Martha and Susan talk about signs and how people tend to judge. Hospices do the most beautiful job, leading people and their families through their transition out of this life. Grievers find it hard to identify what they need and even harder to ask for it. Helping a griever sometimes is just showing up. Grievers want to know they are not alone. If you don't know what to say to someone grieving, just don't. If you are grieving, keep “Grace” in your mind, you will need it. Martha talks about her next book. When you are grieving, the guilt of moving forward to live the life you want is real. Susan got closer to her husband in his last year of life.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com Dead to Me, a comedy series   Meet Martha Hunt Handler Visit Martha's website  Wolf Conservation Center Winter of the Wolf, by Martha Hunt Handler  

The question, "What can I do to support myself in my grief,"  has a simple answer in four words that I don't share in the episode but is explored through the self-reflection exercise contained in the episode. What are the four words? Get - To - Know - Yourself. ✨In this week's episode, you will do just that. Before you listen, I suggest you get in the headspace and right environment to self-reflect. Light a candle if you like. Eliminate distractions. Push play. There are three steps in this self-reflection exercise. As you go through each exercise, you'll push pause whenever you need. Give yourself as much time as you need but also go with whatever comes to mind first - don't dissect the question or think too long or hard. Grievers often don't know what they need or what they want. Life has been turned upside down, and some days are an exercise in just making it to the end of the day. No matter where you are today, I know it's possible to feel at least 1% better. However, it takes some action and reflection first. Even in grief, we have to think with the end in mind: How do I want this grief to change me? For the better? For the worse? We have a duty to ourselves, and the ball is in our court to move the pieces and players who will support us to get where we desire to be emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. You will learn which areas you need additional support in through this episode's three steps. You'll bring to your awareness what matters most to you right now and what may be getting in the way.

Today Meghan sits down wththe extraordinary author Angela Morris. She talks about how her ADHD diagnosis impacts her understanding of her own grief, and the profound secondary loss of friendship particularly in non-death loss.   More about Angela:   After the death of her father, friend and grandmother in quick succession, Angela needed a channel to grieve these profound losses. Writing has always been her lifeline through hard times, and grief from the loss of her loved ones was no different. Seeing how this helped her, Angela began to help others with their grief through her reflective writing on her social media channels. Angela offers people a soft space to land as they navigate their grief without judgement. She provides reflective writing for grievers who have lost something or someone dear to them. They walk together differently through their healing journey of learning to grow with their grief, not move on from it.   Love Notes to Grievers is available for pre-order and comes out on June 13th, 2023   WWW.ANGELAEMORRIS.COM INSTAGRAM: @ANGELAEMMAMORRIS  

Summary:One of our favorite guests returns today, John Polo, along with Carolyn Gower. They have launched a brand new book, The Stupid Sh*t that People Say to Grievers. If you are grieving, this book may make you smile, or even laugh - it certainly will let you know you are not alone in hearing comments that were absolutely no help. Sadly, every comment in the book is something someone heard while they were in despair after losing someone they loved. Listen to our conversation. Prepare yourself to start nodding as you hear something that was said to you.Notes:John Polo is a coach, author and speaker. In January of 2016, John lost his wife, Michelle, to cancer. From the rubble of everything that he once knew, consumed by desperation and despair, John held on long enough until he found his hope. And he slowly rebuilt.

The Gathering starts now, press play already!!!
