Episode 312—Many couples in recovery assume that progress means focusing only on the future, but this mindset often overlooks the deep losses created by addiction and betrayal. Partners may grieve the relationship they thought they had, the years marked by deception, and the emotional safety that was taken from them without consent. When grief is minimized or avoided—often in the name of “positivity”—partners can feel unseen and pressured to suppress their pain, recreating the emotional neglect that existed during active addiction.For addicts, grieving the past is especially difficult because it requires facing accountability without collapsing into shame. Many were raised in environments where responsibility and worthlessness were intertwined, making emotional presence feel threatening. Yet intimacy cannot grow where grief is forbidden. When addicts are unable to stay present with their partner's pain, the relationship develops emotional “no-go zones,” limiting safety and connection. True recovery requires the capacity to face loss honestly, without defensiveness or avoidance.When grief is approached with empathy, timing, and emotional maturity, it becomes one of the most powerful bonding experiences a couple can share. Grieving together does not mean living in the past—it means integrating it. By acknowledging what was lost, couples create space for authenticity, trust, and deeper intimacy. Healing is not about forgetting what happened, but about facing it together so that both partners can move forward grounded in truth, compassion, and shared humanity.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  My Partner is in Recovery.

Hometown Radio 12/22/25 3p: Ingrid Pires and Pat Crowe discuss holiday grieving

Send Us a Message!The holidays can be a beautiful strain on the heart—full of memories, expectations, and a thousand quiet reminders of what's changed. We sit down to unpack conscious grieving with open hands: how to honor what hurts, make space for what heals, and choose traditions that actually support your nervous system. This isn't a tidy list of stages; it's a living practice that meets you where you are, whether you're grieving a loved one, a marriage, a job, or an old identity that no longer fits.In this episode, we explore:

A rabbi says today marks an important moment in the national grieving after the Bondi terror attack; concern over proposed laws targeting protesters following the Bondi shooting; and in boxing, a former heavyweight champion defeats a social media star-turned-fighter.

“What does it look like to mother a child who lives only in your heart?”In this deeply moving Episode 50 of Female Voices: Life & Loss, host Teresa Reiniger sits down with Sara Sutherland, a mother who lost her firstborn daughter, Brianna, just hours after birth—21 years ago. As the holiday season approaches, Sara shares how grief reshaped her life, her faith, and her family traditions. From creating a special “Brie Tree”, to scrapbooking as a form of survival, to releasing traditions with peace as her daughter would now be 21—this episode is a masterclass in grief, faith, remembrance, transformation, and love that never dies.This conversation offers gentle encouragement for anyone entering their first holiday season after loss, and profound wisdom for those still learning how to carry both grief and gratitude at the same time.MEMORABLE QUOTES● “I wanted nothing but a baby under the tree… and I knew that wasn't going to happen.” — Sara ● “If it is what your heart says you need, then do it.” — Sara ● “Life isn't about things. It's about love and the people around us.” — Sara ● “They've never met her, but my kids honor her.” — Sara ● “Grief is ugly… but I didn't want to live in a heart that was ugly.” — Sara ● “You can incorporate them. No one has to approve but you.” — Sara ● “While grief may change, love remains steady.” — Teresa

In this final episode of the series, we are naming the parts daughters rarely have space to talk about. What happens when your mother gets older, declines, or dies, and the family system around you is still operating from denial, triangulation, or long-standing roles you never consented to?If you are entering this season, already in it, or thinking ahead, this episode is meant to steady you. You deserve clarity, compassion, and permission to make decisions that protect your well being. You are not responsible for repairing a relationship that harmed you. You are responsible for caring for the woman you are becoming now.And you don't have to do it alone. Learn more at MayhemDaughters.com

What do you do when the holidays hit, and instead of feeling joy, all you feel is that old familiar ache? When everyone around you is celebrating but you're reliving the loss of your mom or someone you loved deeply? And every holiday seems to pull that pain right back to the surface, no matter how much time has passed?In this special holiday season episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan talks openly about what it truly feels like to grieve while the world around you is celebrating. She shares her own experiences of losing family members and how the holidays would trigger waves of emotion weeks before they even arrived. She explains why the body remembers before the mind does, why love turns into emotion when it has nowhere physical to land, and why feeling pain right now does not mean you are broken. It means you loved deeply.Susan also reveals something comforting from the spirit world. During the holidays, your loved ones draw closer than ever. They nudge your memories, send subtle signs, and wrap you in moments of warmth that many people mistake for coincidence.This episode invites you to breathe, honor your pace, speak your loved ones' names, and let the empty chair at the table become a place of connection, not absence. It is a soft reminder that you are held, supported, and never grieving alone.In This Episode:[00:00] Introduction [01:33] Personal experience with grief and holidays[03:47] Grief as a sign of deep love[05:04] Coping with grief and the empty chair[06:12] Holidays as memory triggers[07:18] Grief as sacred connection[08:26] Spirit world closer during holidays[12:38] Transforming emptiness into love[13:54] Honoring loved ones during holidays[14:57] Asking for signs and connection[16:55] Allowing grief and remembering love[17:59] Holiday memories and signs from spirit[20:17] Staying in the love frequency[21:22] Personal rituals for connection[22:21] Guided visualization for connection[26:50] No right or wrong way to grieve[27:56] Loved ones are always with you[29:10] Grieving pets and all types of loss[30:17] Final encouragement and closingNotable Quotes[01:27] “It was as though my body was having body memories, even before my mind understood why.”[07:18] “Your grief is actually a sign of the depth of your love.”[12:04] “The empty chair symbolizes two things, the place they once held and the space they still hold.”[13:09] “Spirit will often show me that they stand exactly where I feel the emptiness most..”[27:53] “You're not grieving alone.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:Have you ever looked at your life and realized some of the things that once felt impossible… actually happened? And yet, something inside you still feels like it's catching up? In this episode, we're unpacking the real reason behind that disconnect—and no, it's not because you didn't work hard enough. It's identity.If you've been trying to reinvent yourself, feeling the pull of an old identity, or sensing it's time for letting go of who I used to be—this conversation is for you. We're talking about identity detox as a sacred, quiet process—not a breakdown, not a crisis, but the inner shift that turns survival into sustainability.This episode is a heart-to-heart reflection on how identity—not hustle, not strategy—is often the switch that opens doors. Together, we'll explore why some dreams feel unsafe instead of exciting, why growth can feel heavy, and how recognizing who you already believe yourself to be changes everything. Grab your tea, pull your chair closer—this one's tender, powerful, and deeply freeing.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The version of you that survived was never wrong—she was necessary, and now she deserves rest.You don't need to become someone new; you need to release the identity built for emergencies, not expansion.When your nervous system only knows chaos, peace can feel unfamiliar—but unfamiliar doesn't mean incorrect.Grieving who you're outgrowing is not regression; it's honesty and self-respect.You don't rise to the level of your vision—you live at the level of your identity, and that shift changes what feels possible.CHAPTERS:00:00 Reflecting on Past Achievements00:34 Understanding Identity Shifts01:37 Embracing Transformation02:09 Podcast Introduction and Warm Welcome02:54 The Struggle with Identity in Survival Mode03:38 The Concept of Identity Detox06:04 The Main Character Energy Journal07:29 Navigating New Identities and Success08:55 Grieving Old Identities11:09 Self-Love and Identity Detox Steps13:15 The Power of Identity in Achieving Dreams16:42 Final Encouragement THE SELF-LOVE 2-STEP: The Identity Detox ResetThis week's Self-Love 2-Step is about grounding everything we talked about into real life—gently, honestly, and without pressure. Think of it as a check-in, not a to-do list.Step One: Name the identity you had to adopt to survive, and then name who you're allowed to be now. Write it down without judgment—this isn't about fixing yourself, it's about telling the truth.Step Two: Choose one small moment this week where you don't default to the old you. One pause, one boundary, one breath that reminds your body it's safe now.You don't need louder affirmations or bigger declarations. Identity shifts quietly—and the universe rearranges around the woman who moves differently without announcing it.

In this episode, we reflect on what it means to have rituals of grieving and how they help us to live our daily lives more fully.Thoughts or questions? Email me at dailydharmapodcast@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.

Carter's mama, Amy and I, first recorded 3.5 years ago, not long after we both lost our sons. At the time, we were still deep in survival mode—learning how to breathe, how to exist, how to live in a world that had permanently changed.In this episode, we come back together to talk about life now.We talk honestly about:Parenting after lossWhat grief looks like years later (spoiler: it doesn't disappear)Expanding our families while still carrying our first babies with usThe tension of joy and sorrow coexistingHow motherhood after loss reshapes who you are, how you parent, and how you move through the worldThis isn't a “look how far we've come” conversation. It's just a real one. Two moms with 2 on earth and one in the sky. Grief didn't end. It evolved. Love didn't shrink. It expanded. And our sons are still very much part of our everyday lives.If you're navigating parenting after loss, considering growing your family again, or wondering what life can look like years down the road—this conversation is for you.Find Amy on Instagram:@amyycampisiHer Charity Org Carters Classic WebsiteFind your Loss Posse at LOSSLINK.COM*************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

Love to hear from youFeeling grief over the years affects most of us. In homeopathic work, the practitioner looks for how someone expresses their grief and any physical ailments that confirm its the correct remedy for grief relief. Causticum may be one's homeopathic remedy to break the grieving cycle of anger. Caroline S Walrad, Ph.D., enjoyed 30 years of practice. Dr. Walrad does not practice medicine and speaks for educational purposes.

She talks about the emotional weight of anniversaries, holidays, and court dates, and how offering grace to one another became essential in those tender seasons.We discuss how Jenny's grief has changed over the last ten years, including the seasons when God felt silent and the comfort she found in Scripture, especially in the Psalms. Jenny also offers practical wisdom for navigating holidays and special dates, as well as how her family chose to honor the ten-year mark of Jacob's homegoing.She closes by pointing listeners to resources she's created to support others who are grieving.In this episode:Grieving differently within a marriageThe challenge of anniversaries and milestonesHow grief evolves over timeFinding God in seasons of silenceNavigating holidays and special datesMarking ten years without JacobClick HERE to listen to the first half of our conversation!  Resources:jennyleavitt.comresilienthope.netGodPrints by Jenny LeavittI would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Do you believe in angels? Loss of someone that you love can be one of the hardest things that you may ever have to go through. Loss of a parent, friend, child, or maybe even a celebrity. Grieving is a part of life; it allows you to heal. But what if I told you that I found a video on the blackangeltapes.net that will allow you to bring that loved one back? Watch the tape, follow the instructions, and Bring Her Back. Next movie: Clown in a Cornfield

Voices in My Head Podcast – Episode 605: The God Who Lets Us Carry HimEpisode 605: The God Who Lets Us Carry HimIn this special Advent/Christmas episode, chaplain, songwriter, and host Rick Lee James shares a chapel message from Springfield Regional Medical Center titled “The God Who Lets Us Carry Him.”Drawing from Jeremiah 10:5 and Matthew 2:13–18, Rick explores the tension between:* Idols that must be carried because they are lifeless* And Jesus, God in the flesh, who chooses to be carried as a vulnerable babyRather than the soft, sentimental scenes we see on many Christmas cards, Rick invites us into the real world Jesus was born into—a world of:* A small, ordinary village (Bethlehem)* Roman occupation and political fear* Herod's brutality and the Massacre of the Innocents* Refugee families fleeing in the night* Grieving mothers and real human sorrowFrom there, he proclaims the hope of Christmas:that God does not wait for a perfect world to show up, but enters the world as it actually is—vulnerable, dependent, “carry-able” in human arms. This is a God who walks at three miles an hour, slowing down to move at human speed, to stop, to touch, to weep, to heal, and even to entrust Himself to us.Along the way, Rick reflects on:* Jeremiah's image of idols as “scarecrows in a cucumber field”* How idols only gain “power” when we give them our imagination* Historical background on Herod the Great and Bethlehem's likely size* The courage and defiant hope of a God who lets Himself be carried by Mary and Joseph* The contrast between Hallmark-style Christmas and the raw honesty of the GospelThe episode concludes with Rick's original song “Christmas Cards,” a musical meditation on the parts of the story we don't usually see on our mantels—the fear, the flight, the soldiers in the streets—and the deeper hope that God is greater than the version of Christmas our cards describe.Scriptures referenced in this episode:* Jeremiah 10:5 – “Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field; they cannot speak; they have to be carried because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”* Matthew 2:13–18 – The flight into Egypt and the Massacre of the InnocentsHighlights:* Why a God who chooses to be carried is the opposite of a powerless idol* How the first Christmas speaks hope into fear, grief, and injustice* “A God small enough to be carried is a God big enough to save the world.”* Closing performance of Rick's original song “Christmas Cards”Connect with Rick Lee James:* Website: RickLeeJames.com* Music & merch: search “Rick Lee James” on your favorite music platform* Subscribe, rate, and review Voices in My Head wherever you listen to podcasts.Get the Audiobook, Out of the Depths: A Songwriter's Journey Through the Psalms by your host, Rick Lee James, on Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0F45G6KWH?qid=1744142727&sr=1-1&ref_pageloadid=not_applicable&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=KEDVV78ASDMS52WQFD7W&plink=3YmaWg4y0HJ0Cjfc&pageLoadId=IaamycyuJR519uYD&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1%20----more----Don't forget about our music sale on Bandcamp.Use the code “10off” on RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com to get 10% off your purchase.Blessings,Rick Lee JamesEmail: Rick@RickLeeJames.comDon't forget about our music sale on Bandcamp.Use the code “10off” on RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com to get 10% off your purchase.Blessings,Rick Lee JamesEmail: Rick@RickLeeJames.comBlessings,Rick Lee JamesGet the new song - Whatever You DoVINYL SALETHUNDER by Rick Lee JamesONLY $9.99.

For over 15 years, Marie has helped women rewrite the narratives that limit them—guiding them through grief, trauma, and profound life transitions with compassion, courage, and clarity. Marie's 25-year journey of self-discovery led her to the practice that became her greatest healing tool: journal writing. This deeply personal process inspired her to create The Nautilus Way: Write Your Way Free, a powerful and proven method that helps women break emotional patterns, process grief, rewire limiting beliefs, and intentionally shape who they're becoming. Her story is one of extraordinary resilience. Raised in poverty in rural Louisiana and a single mother of two at a young age, Marie fought to build a stable life for her family. She eventually left corporate America to pursue her calling—supporting women's healing and studying mind-body psychology. But in 2017, Marie faced unimaginable heartbreak when she suddenly lost her son, just two years after her mother's unexpected death. Instead of letting grief define her, she turned inward, using the same tools she teaches to rise again, rediscover her strength, and choose life with intention. This lived experience, combined with years of transformational coaching, makes her uniquely equipped to support women with authenticity, empathy, and hard-won wisdom. Today, Marie leads life-changing women's retreats, including one exclusively for grieving mothers, in her newly built Gulf-front home in Florida—a sacred space for healing, confidence, and personal awakening. Her work consistently helps women reconnect with forgotten parts of themselves, uncover subconscious patterns, and step forward with renewed peace, purpose, and self-trust. Marie Crews is a certified health and wellness coach, a successful entrepreneur, and the best-selling author of Even When…She Rose—a testament to her unwavering commitment to rising through adversity and helping others do the same. This episode dives into: ✨ The healing power of journaling and emotional expression ✨ Rewiring limiting beliefs and breaking generational patterns ✨ Navigating profound grief and loss authentically ✨ Mind-body practices for trauma and emotional release ✨ Rebuilding identity after loss and life transitions ✨ The transformative impact of women's retreats and community If you're seeking healing, clarity, or a deeper connection to your own inner wisdom, Marie's story—and her work—will inspire you to rise, no matter what you've endured.

Today's guest is a dear friend of the show, Andrea Mein DeWitt — Professional Certified Coach (PCC), author, and creator of the transformational Name, Claim & Reframe® methodology.

Congrats to Andrea!! Andrea works with high-achieving leaders navigating challenging relationships, identity shifts, and life transitions — especially the roles we often inherit inside our families. In this deeply moving conversation, she and Yo explore the complicated terrain between daughters and aging mothers, including grief, identity, boundaries, and the “good daughter” narrative many of us have carried for decades. If you've ever felt unseen, responsible, guilty, or stuck in old roles with your mother — especially during moments of caregiving or family gatherings — this episode offers both companionship and real tools for the messy middle. Timing for this episode is perfect with the holidays which adds extra pressure around the good daughter/bad daughter trap! Together, they explore:

In this episode, we sit down with Alex, who opens up about the heartbreak, confusion, and sheer emotional exhaustion of navigating multiple miscarriages while living halfway across the world from home. Now based in Singapore with her husband - and with zero plans to head back to the UK - Alex has had to make sense of her losses within a healthcare system that doesn't always cushion its words or soften the blows. Cultural differences meant that some of the medical conversations she faced landed with a thud: blunt, clinical, sometimes bordering on cruel.Throughout the episode, Alex describes the emotional toll of repeated miscarriages - the way each loss chips away at you until you feel like this cracked, fragile version of yourself, desperately trying to glue the pieces back together again. Her IVF journey has involved genetic testing, endless decisions, and the constant tug-of-war between hope and self-protection. She's made lifestyle changes, like going gluten-free, in her determination to give future embryos the best possible chance.And woven through all of this is the gang: the friends, the online communities, the people who show up and get it when the world feels impossibly heavy. Alex's story is a powerful reminder of how vital compassion and understanding are when talking about pregnancy loss - and how much it matters when someone finally says, “I see you… and you're not alone.”Key TakeawaysAlex relocated to Singapore for her husband's work and is settled there long-term.She has experienced multiple miscarriages, each bringing its own unique heartbreak.Cultural differences in Singapore's healthcare system can lead to abrupt or blunt communication.After receiving a harsh diagnosis, Alex trusted her instincts and sought a second opinion.The emotional impact of loss can feel like being a cracked vase, with resilience chipped away piece by piece.Her IVF journey included genetic testing after repeated miscarriages.She has made lifestyle changes, including going gluten-free, to support her fertility.Support from friends and online communities has been essential throughout her journey.The episode highlights how deeply compassion and sensitivity are needed when discussing pregnancy loss.We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.

On this episode Gil Bashe sits with Lynne Hughes, founder of Comfort Camp Zone. Lynne lost both of her parents by the time she was 12 years old. When she was 9, her mother died from a blood clot, and three years later, her father followed when he had a heart attack. Without any grieving resources for children to turn to for support, Ms. Hughes, who now lives in Richmond, Va., said that she coped with her loss largely alone. Following a series of jobs after graduating from Michigan State University with a communications degree, including hospice work, she looked to her own story as the impetus to start a bereavement camp for children, Comfort Zone Camp (CZC). Now in its 25th year, CZC is a free three-day camp for children and young adults 7 to 25.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore a kind of grief that rarely gets talked about in the first responder world — the grief (Amazon Affiliate) of losing a partner not to death, but to distance, transfer, or tragedy. The bond between partners runs deeper than most friendships. You've trusted each other with your lives, shared silence in the aftermath of chaos, and seen things no one else could understand. When that connection suddenly ends — whether through transfer, promotion, injury, or death — it leaves behind an emptiness that's hard to explain and even harder to fill. This episode unpacks what it means to lose a partner without a proper goodbye and how to navigate the emotional aftershock that often follows.

Anyone who has experienced loss needs strategies to navigate grief throughout the holiday season, as grieving through the holidays can steal the joy of the season. Grieving through the holidays can be one of the most challenging experiences. Around this time, the sparkle and warmth of the season can amplify feelings of loss and sadness. It's an everyday reality that many face, but there are strategies to navigate grief that can help ease this burden. This guide offers insight into transforming the daunting holiday season into a time of remembrance and healing. The Tender Trigger: Grieving Through The Holidays The holiday season is known to be tender for those grieving. Despite being termed the "most wonderful time of the year," the holidays can be a turbulent emotional landscape. Expectations from media, society, and even oneself can seem overwhelming. Grieving individuals don't just carry the weight of the past year's traditions but also the absence of loved ones. This reality underscores the importance of being gentle with oneself and finding personal pathways through the holiday season. Intentional Planning: Strategies To Navigate Grief One of the best strategies to navigate grief is intentional planning. Forethought and intention can transform a potentially burdensome time into a peaceful period. Start by reflecting on what you want from the holiday season. It may mean altering or simplifying traditions and setting boundaries around social activities. The goal is to create an environment where moments of peace and joy feel possible without undermining your emotional needs. Planning ahead allows for proactive removal of potential stressors, paving the way for a more serene season. Self-Care: A Fundamental Strategy About Margo Fordonski Margo Fordonski is on a mission to help other grieving moms learn to fully grieve. Through compassionate coaching and personalized strategies, she guides grieving moms in finding peace, resilience, and renewed hope. Margo believes that healing involves honoring your child's memory and finding ways to keep them present in your life as you move forward.
