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.

This story was too good to pass up...some folks just a a different way of grieving. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

In this episode, I'm joined by Marie Crews, a transformational coach, speaker, retreat facilitator, and best-selling author whose work is grounded in one core belief: your story can set you free. 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. Her bestselling book, Name, Claim & Reframe: Your Path to a Well-Lived Life, was featured on NBC's TODAY Show as the Best Motivational Read of 2023, and is now available as an audiobook, complete with a powerful PDF companion. 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:

Spoiler: I'm pregnant again! After two different losses, once I saw another positive test, I felt a complex bouquet of emotions — excitement, anxiety, fear, hope. It was a lot. To protect my sanity, I knew I needed to keep things sacred for a long time. I had no idea when it was going to feel right sharing with the internet and/or podcasting world. It feels right now.

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. We're all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff — baby loss, infertility, and everything in between — and making sure no one has to face it alone. Our community is full of honesty, compassion, and real talk, offering support, understanding, and hope when it's needed most.

Send us a textA poolside tragedy, a courtroom full of spin, and a helicopter that announces a new kind of war—this Dallas breakdown brings heat. We walk through how “Gone But Not Forgotten” closes Kristen's storyline without letting anyone off the hook, then swing into the custody chess match that pits Sue Ellen's resolve against J.R.'s need to control. The question isn't just who's right; it's who can shape the story the fastest and the loudest. We unpack the testimony that frames Kristen's death as accidental, the way J.R. seeds doubt with a tossed-off polygraph line, and why Cliff's failure to land a killing blow at Westar changes the city's power math. From Afton's crucial betrayal to Wendell's lingering grudge, every side character shifts the floor beneath the leads. Meanwhile, Sue Ellen steps into full agency, fortified by Dusty and his father, and the airport snatch attempt becomes a turning point: the other side has muscle, money, and a plan. Watching J.R. take an on-the-spot loss is rare and deeply satisfying. Beyond the fireworks, we sit with Pam's longing for a child and the silence it creates in her marriage. We trace how wealth acts like a character—seducing, dividing, and redefining Donna and Ray, Lucy and Mitch. Dallas thrives when personal stakes meet public spectacle, and this hour nails it: grief handled with restraint, strategy handled with flair. If you love dynastic drama, morally gray moves, and women who turn pain into power, this one's for you. Loved the episode? Follow the show, share it with a soap-loving friend, and drop a review to tell us: is J.R. fighting for love or possession? Your take might show up on air.

Crystal Hollenbeck and Dr. Rob continue their conversation about the power and purpose of triggers, the appropriate time to utilize communication skills, and each of the seven steps of the CALMING model, including handling residual anger and resentment. We often think that anger is the only option for control after betrayal, but Crystal challenges this limiting belief and offers hope to anyone who is ready to move on from an angry life.    TAKEAWAYS: [1:52] Why should I do anything? He betrayed me.  [5:42] Triggers are normal and can be helpful.  [7:27] What to expect from the leveling stage.  [13:13] The management and intuition stages of CALMING.  [20:21] Trusting your intuition after betrayal.  [25:17] The role of forgiveness in healing.  [30:41] This behavior increases the likelihood of repeat betrayal.  [32:30] Boundaries are protection, not restriction. [34:35] Grieving loss and recognizing the positives of post-traumatic growth. [43:44] Moving on after grief is possible.    RESOURCES: Sex and Relationship Healing @RobWeissMSW Sex Addiction 101  Seeking Integrity Free Sexual Addiction Screening Assessment Partner Sexuality Survey Crystal Hollenbeck Betrayal Healing Conference   Seeking Integrity Podcasts are produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.    QUOTES: “This is part of your story now.

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.

MLMs (multi-level marketing companies) don't actually sell you freedom—they sell you scripts plus a story. For neurodivergent people, that combination can feel like safety, clarity, and belonging all wrapped into one.When masking is exhausting, ambiguity feels like a threat, and job environments are deeply inaccessible, the promise of “work from home, be your own boss, follow this exact formula, and you'll succeed” lands like relief. You don't have to invent the structure, the branding, or the messaging.  You just follow the script and buy the starter kit. For an autistic brain that craves predictability, and an ADHD brain hungry for novelty and dopamine, that promise is catnip—and also a trap!In this episode, Liora and I unpack the MLM trap as someone who deeply gets it.

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.

Sometimes we don’t get to choose when life asks us to begin again. One moment you’re following a dream, and the next you’re rebuilding from the pieces of what used to be. It’s a strange kind of starting over – the kind you never asked for but somehow learn to live inside. Ava Jones knows that space well. At seventeen, she survived a devastating car accident that took her father’s life and changed everything she knew about herself. Two years later, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Through it all, she’s learning what it means to keep moving, to ask for help, and to find gratitude even in the hardest chapters. This conversation isn’t about silver linings. It’s about choosing to live when the story doesn’t go the way you planned. Ava’s honesty reminds us that starting over doesn’t mean you’ve failed – it means you’re still here. What You’ll Hear The day Ava’s life changed forever Learning to walk, talk, and feel again after trauma Grieving her father while navigating recovery Letting go of the basketball dream that once defined her Facing cancer with honesty and faith in her support system Rediscovering joy in small, ordinary moments Listen to the full episode and more conversations like this at:

n this episode of Fly to Freedom, I'm back with Victoria for another honest Q&A on the realities of eating disorder and anorexia recovery – from parenting a toddler in the city to grieving a soul dog, coping with extreme hunger, and facing fear foods.We explore:Walking vs compensation when you're a mumCan you still walk everywhere with a toddler when you've quit compulsive running? We talk about honestly checking your motivation, using public transport where you can, and why “perfect recovery” (never moving) isn't real life – especially with a small child.The ‘fat and frumpy' phase & lost motivationHow calling yourself “fat and frumpy” keeps you stuck, the difference between preference and moral judgement about body size, and why motivation is unreliable. We look at choosing freedom over thinness, dressing the body you have now, and remembering that weight gain is a sign of healing, not failure.Triggers: avoid them or sit through them?We explain comfort, stretch and panic zones and how to push yourself without re-traumatising yourself. Diet talk, social events and other triggers become teachers, as you practise boundaries and still move forwards.Who am I without my eating disorder?When the ED has been your main coping mechanism, it's normal to feel like you don't know how to “be you.” We talk about inner child work, self-compassion, trusting that your authentic self emerges as you remove coping behaviours, and allowing curiosity instead of perfection.Extreme hunger, hypermetabolism & “eating crazy amounts”We normalise huge appetite early in recovery, talk about hypermetabolism, and why fast weight gain can actually shorten the most agonising part of the process. Your biology is trying to save your life – not sabotage you.“Is it okay to just eat snacks?”Is it genuine preference or avoidance of meals and fullness? We suggest experimenting with both meals and snacks, following the fear, and noticing whether your choices are driven by freedom or control.Fear you'll never be happy in a weight-restored bodyBoth of us share how we once believed happiness depended on staying small, and how we're now the happiest we've ever been in bodies we wouldn't necessarily choose aesthetically. We reframe the goal from constant happiness to deep contentment and encourage collecting daily “glimmers” of joy.Grieving a soul dog & the ED pullWe discuss why big emotional pain wakes up old ED pathways, and how this is also your chance to rewire them: mechanical eating when appetite vanishes, huge compassion, and letting grief be proof of love.The moment you freeze before a scary recovery actionWe share practical tools for the exact second you want to back out: predicting and writing down what your ED will say, using humour and anger to separate from the ED voice, and adopting a “feel the fear and do it anyway” approach.This episode is for you if:You're in eating disorder or anorexia recovery and trying to live real life (kids, work, city living) without falling back into compensation.You're stuck in the “fat and frumpy” stage and wondering how on earth to keep going.You're afraid of triggers, grief, or big emotions pulling you back into old behaviours.You're terrified you'll never be happy in a weight-restored body.You want lived-experience, straight-talking reassurance that you are not doing recovery “wrong.”Resources mentionedFeel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan JeffersThe Eating Disorder Recovery Circle – my online community with courses, workshops, Q&As, the Feelings Navigator and daily support for every stage of recovery: https://www.edrecoverycircle.com/join

EPISODE 634 - Kelly Farley - He Lost His Baby Too, Survival Guide for the Grieving Dad and Grieving DadsIf you have ever loved a child, then you understand what it's like to love someone more than you love life itself. If you have ever lost a child, then you understand more about hell than anyone could possibly be expected to know. This isn't something you get over. Only those who have lost a child can understand the depths to which this pain travels. Like most of the men who will read these books, I too am a grieving dad.The message I want bereaved fathers to understand is that I know it's hard, I know it hurts, I know it's scary — but you can get through this. You can survive. It will be the hardest thing you will ever experience; it will drain you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can come out on the other side of this very long and lonely tunnel, but you will be a different person when you do. There is no going back to the old you.You also need to know that you are not alone in your grief. Other men have been through this and that the emotions they keep inside are the same emotions all of us experience, even if we don't talk about them. The best thing you can do is to reach out for help and to know it is not a sign of “weakness” to do so. Instead, it's a sign of courage and strength — the kind that's required to face this battle head on.Book: He Lost His Baby TooSurvival Guide for the Grieving DadThis book was written specifically for fathers grappling with the unbearable aftermath of losing a baby. It is all too easy for a bereaved father to succumb to a haunting sense of isolation after such a loss. However, within these pages lies a lifeline—a survival guide infused with wisdom, providing a roadmap through the complicated path of grief.In the wake of a tragic loss—whether it be a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or the untimely passing of an infant—this invaluable resource unravels the layers of anguish that overwhelm grieving fathers. Written by a grieving dad, this book offers unflinching honesty and poignant insight, it also delves into the raw pain that accompanies such a profound loss, assuring these men that their emotions, however overwhelming, are both valid and shared by others who have walked a similar path.Book: Grieving DadsTo the Brink and BackA collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two-year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale.They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication, and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink, while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is “you're not alone.” It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society's expectations.https://www.grievingdads.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

What if your pursuit of self-awareness is just another role you're playing? In this episode, we explore the trap of becoming too conscious—how the search for enlightenment can become an identity as limiting as any other. We unpack the subtle desire to be seen without asking, the childhood dreams that unconsciously shape our lives, and the ego's paradoxical role in spiritual growth. From the emotional gravity of guilt to the absurdity of purity tests in "conscious living," this is a brutally honest reflection on the messiness of being—and the beauty in embracing it. Let go of the need to define, and return to simply paying attention.

Grief is tough. It is so very hard when a loved one dies. Whether it is expected because of serious illness or a total shock, grief is painful. And also, grief is part of life. Sometimes people compound their suffering by asking "Why am I still grieving so hard?" or "Shouldn't I be better by now?"Trying to push grief away doesn't help. In fact, it can make grieving even harder. This meditation is an invitation to make peace with grief.If you have ever lost a person, a pet, a prized possession, a job, an identity, or anything else, this meditation is for you.Be sure you're in a safe place (no driving!) when you listen.I'm glad you're here.Doctor Deliawww.DoctorDelia.comCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

Knowing the facts about grief can help you navigate your experience of loss. Understanding and navigating the complexities of grief can be vital for maintaining one's mental health. Grief is multifaceted, and it's essential to grasp the facts about grief to support not only ourselves but also those around us.  Grief is a Lifelong Journey One key fact about grief is that it's a lifelong relationship with something we cannot change. Everyone experiences grief differently. This process isn't linear, and there's no timeline for healing. It's essential to recognize that grief doesn't have a definitive endpoint. Instead, it's about learning to live with the loss while integrating it into our lives. Healing Does Not Mean Forgetting A significant fact about grief is that healing doesn't equate to forgetting. Instead, it allows you to remember with more love than pain. This transition involves acknowledging the love and memories without being overwhelmed by sorrow. It's about embracing the joyful moments amid grief, which can help transform the pain into a source of peace. The Role of Grace and Strategy Navigating grief requires a mix of accepting grace and employing effective strategies. Acknowledging the ebb and flow of emotions is crucial. It's about granting yourself the grace to experience and express these emotions without deadlines, demands, or judgment. Integrating strategies for self-care and emotional expression can facilitate the processing of grief, allowing moments of joy and healing to emerge naturally. Community and Connection Another vital fact about grief is the power of community and connection. Grieving individuals benefit immensely from support systems. Simple acts, such as a phone call, a walk together, or acknowledging significant dates, can have a profound impact. Real connections enable those grieving to feel seen and heard, offering comfort that transcends words. Transforming Pain into Purpose Lastly, a crucial aspect of grief is its capacity to transform pain into purpose. Many find that their experiences with loss can lead to new beginnings, helping others navigate similar paths. This transformative power can bring light out of darkness, inspiring a journey toward renewed purpose and joy. Understanding these facts about grief can help you and those around you navigate the complicated emotions that emerge. Equipped with this knowledge, you can approach grief with compassion, patience, and a deeper understanding of its complexities. Remember, healing is about living with gratitude and love, cherishing the memories of those we've lost while embracing the beauty of life. About Margo Fordonski Margo Fordonski is on a mission to help other grieving moms learn to fully grieve.

Kiersten here. It's just me this week.It's been two years since my ADHD diagnosis, and in that time I've learned a lot.
