How easy or hard is it to talk about someone you loved and lost?   Today we talk with Sherrie Barch, CEO of two Forbes' ranked top executive search firms and a leadership consulting company, and an expert in leadership, team development, and diversity.   Sherrie's new book “Heaven's Bell” shows us how to talk about death. It was written for teens but enjoyed by people of all ages.  “Ring to Remember”, the partner journal to the book was just released on Father's Day….with a special sign from above.    Listen in to hear how to create a safe space to talk about Amy's favorite subject: death.     Topics We Discuss:   [3:35] How Sherrie's experience as a leader, having the difficult conversations, naturally led her to having the difficult conversations about death with young people.   [6:18] Curiosity and creativity led CEO Sherrie to write “Heaven's Bell”, a fable about love and friendship that lasts beyond the physical body. Her own experiences informed her writing.   [12:08] The importance of talking about death especially during COVID years, and especially with younger people. How Sherrie's story creates a safe place to experience and talk about one's emotions around grief and loss.   [17:08] “Ring to Remember”, Sherrie's partner journal to the “Heaven's Bell” was created to keep the conversation going. Dedicated to her two father figures, it dropped on Father's Day.   [20:30] How this work has shifted Sherrie's work as a CEO. Leadership doesn't mean knowing or finding all the answers. Leadership means creating space, with those curious, courageous conversations. Hopefully healing follows.   [24:40] Amy's speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don't know about you? What is one thing you're looking forward to right now? What's one thing you're deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?     FOLLOW SHERRIE BARCH:     Find Sherrie on LinkedIn and her book, “Heavens Bell” at  heavensbell.com and on Amazon.        Life, Death and the Space Between is brought to you by: Dr. Amy Robbins | Host, Executive Producer PJ Duke | Executive Producer Andrej | Podcasticize | Sound Editing Mara Stallins | Outreach & Social Media Strategy Claire | Clairperk.com | Podcast Cover Design

Author Sherrie Barch has a very accomplished professional resume in the areas of leadership and team development.  Born and raised in Illinois, she earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in communication and has been the CEO of two Forbes' ranked top executive search firms and leadership consulting companies.  Our focus will be on her children's book titled Heaven's Bell, which is a fictional story about the friendship between two children and what happens after one of them dies and goes to heaven.  The story helps both children and adults deal with the often-avoided subjects of death and the resulting loss and pain we suffer.  Most of us have personally suffered loss in our families and communities, whether due to the Covid pandemic or other illnesses and tragedies.  Also, the news often depicts mass killings, including most recently of elementary school children.  How do we talk about death, especially with our children, and bring healing? How do we talk about it with adults?  Our discussion will give you hope that there is so much we can accomplish and many breakthroughs we can achieve by talking and sharing rather than avoiding and fearing.   Her book is a very helpful tool that is being used not only by families, but also by hospices and school districts to discuss death and to bring healing.  She also has an accompanying grief journal and memory book titled Ring to Remember. Website: www.heavensbell.comSocial media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SherrieBarchAuthor Instagram:  https://instagram.com/sherriebarch

Susan, your host, welcomes Sherrie Barch to today's episode. Sherry is the CEO of two Forbes-ranked top executive search firms and a leadership consulting company.   Sherrie is married with three sons. As a mom, she describes herself as a part-time pancreas for her two youngest sons who were both diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes within the same year. Playing this role for the last 12 years, she is relentlessly creating open and honest communication with her family and friends about this chronic and life-threatening condition.   Sherrie's passion for storytelling was a strong motivation for her to publish her preteen children's book Heaven's Bell. One of her goals for Heaven's Bell is to create and inspire a safe space for families to have serious and sometimes “heavy” conversations about death and dying in a natural and productive way.   Key Takeaways: Sherrie shares the motivation behind her book Heaven's Bell. Sherrie talks about the structure and message of the book. Peace and grief can be experienced together. Susan talks about what is necessary in order to process negative emotions. Children and adults grieve differently. Everyone grieves in their own way. Give permission to yourself to ask questions and create the space for others to start conversations about loved ones who passed away. Sherrie shares the pain of losing her father figure. Susan talks about how her daughter's school failed her terribly when she was grieving the loss of her father. Sherrie speaks about remote goodbyes. Celebrating the memory of someone you lost is not always easy, be present, be curious, and hold space to just listen to what someone grieving is going through. Grieve and, when you can, try to recall the one (or ones) you lost in your happy memories together, try to lean into those stories and feel a different connection with them. Sherrie is publishing a Grief Journal for families to capture memories, you can find it at Ring to Remember.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com   Meet Sherrie Barch Email Sherrie at sherrie@heavensbell.com Follow Sherrie on Facebook and Instagram Learn more about Heaven's Bell.
