Susanne's world fell apart piece by piece—her marriage ended, her health declined, her family home was lost, and as she mourned her father's passing, she also became her mother's caretaker. Just as Susanne thought she had found hope again, another deep loss left her shattered and without direction. Through this cascade of heartbreak, Susanne discovered that the well-meaning words and advice society gives us about grief often leave us even more isolated and confused.In this episode of The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith, Susanne Murphy joins Pam Fields to share her raw and honest journey through extraordinary loss and the profound lessons God revealed in the midst of her pain. Susanne not only tells her story but offers practical, biblically grounded tools to help us walk alongside others in their sorrow. She exposes the myths our culture perpetuates about grief and invites listeners to approach heartache with compassion and listening ears.You'll hear Susanne's heartfelt encouragement for the brokenhearted and learn how even life's “good” changes—like a child moving away to college or a big family move—can trigger grief that needs to be acknowledged. Drawing from her work as a grief recovery specialist, Susanne brings hope, healing, and a new perspective on how to hold space for our children and friends as they process loss, both big and small.If you or someone you love is facing grief, this conversation will equip you to respond with empathy, listen without judgment, and recognize God's redemptive work in the midst of suffering. Susanne reminds us that our stories are not over—hope, healing, and God's loving presence are waiting as we step forward in faith.Listen in for practical tips, biblical encouragement, and the gentle reminder that you are never alone in your heartbreak.Check in with Susanne at Whole Heart Coaching or on Instagram @Susanne_MurphyYou can also connect with Pam and Friends on the Facebook group, Tending Fields Mom's Group and on Instagram@TendingFieldsThe book mentioned in this episode wasThe Grief Recovery Handbook by John W.

“Az el nem gyászolt hiányaink temetetlen holtak: addig fognak kísérteni az életünkben és a kapcsolatainkban, amíg méltó körülmények között búcsút nem veszünk tőlük” - olvasható a napokban megjelent, 20 önismereti kérdés és válasz a kapcsolatokról című könyvünkben. Bár a veszteségek témája kapcsán elsőként jellemzően a halál és az elmúlás fogalma jut eszünkbe, a fenti mondat a kapcsolati veszteségekre is éppúgy érvényes: az el nem gyászolt válás, szakítás vagy gyerekkor súlyos érzelmi csomagként nehezedhet a vállunkra, és ha valamitől, akkor az idő múlásától biztosan nem várhatunk megkönnyebbülést. De akkor mi segíthet feldolgozni a veszteségeinket? Egyáltalán honnan lehet felismerni a fel nem dolgozott hiányokat, és mit tehetünk azért, hogy a félelmeink helyett a tanulságokat vigyük tovább egy következő kapcsolatba? Ilyen és ehhez hasonló kérdésekről beszélgettünk legfrissebb, a kapcsolati veszteségek témájával foglalkozó podcast-adásunkban. Ha érdekelnek a válaszok, hallgassatok ránk!

In this episode, we continue the conversation around how children deal with loss. In Episode 3 we had an amazing guest with us, Ope Malomo, who shared her story of losing both parents at the tender age of 6 and 11. Ope was really inspiring and it was lovely hearing how she has grown through her pain.  This episode focused on how parents and guardians can ensure that their child/children have the best possible information and the highest level of emotional safety as they deal with the wide range of emotions attached to losses of all kinds.  We listed some of the most common losses, in the sequence most likely to occur in a child's life.  Death of a pet  Death of a grandparent  Major move - like Ope mentioned last week children are particularly affected by changes in locations, routines, and physical familiarity. Divorce of a child's parents  Death of a parent(s)  Death of a playmate, friend, or relative Injury to the child or to someone important in the child's life We established the truth that our children will experience losses so it is paramount that we know how to help our children deal with their feelings about any loss they encounter.   We also talked about how our children respond to loss eg Socially withdrawn  Playing badly or been disruptive Anger Tummy aches bedwetting/ Pulling own hair out. Loss of concentration   Detola also shared a great tool that is taught to parents who take the 4-week Helping Children with Loss program called the Emotional Energy Checklist  culled from the When Children Grieve book by John W James and Russell Friedman If you will love to know how else you can support your children or those in your care about dealing with loss then pls reach out to us via email hello@whenlifestops.org. Detola runs a 4-week course to help parents/guardians help their children deal with loss.   Leave us a review or comment on the podcast app you are listening from, remember we will be giving shout-outs to those who leave us comments/reviews. Also, leave us a rating, and please share this podcast with anyone you know who may be experiencing loss.  We hope you have found this episode valuable,  till next time we pray that you find the grace to find new meaning to life after loss.    Catch you on the next episode. Bye, and God bless!   P.S We apologise for the quality of the audio in a few parts of this podcast and we hope you are still able to glean some crucial information on this post to help your children or children in your care. *Disclaimer* The information, opinions, and recommendations presented in this Podcast are for general information only and any reliance on the information provided in this Podcast should be carefully considered.

Episode 3: What Grief Really Is.

Welcome to episode 3 of when life stops, a podcast on finding new meaning after loss. In the last episode, we talked about common grief myths, the falsehood around grief, and what we knew. Today Stella and Detola dig deep into what grief really Is We share 3 definitions of Grief We say it is the normal and natural reaction to significant emotional loss of any kind. secondly, according to the  Grief Recovery method written by  John W James, and Russell Friedman    Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of, or change in, a familiar pattern of behavior.  The last definition of grief is feeling of reaching out for someone who has always been there, only to find when you need them one more time, they are no longer there.  We discuss that there are over 43 losses that are considered to invoke grief eg. Death, Divorce, Retirement, Moving, Pet Loss, Financial change, Loss of health, Legal Problems, Empty nest, End of Addiction, Starting School, Redundancy. Some examples of intangible losses that lead to grief: Loss of trust, loss of innocence, loss of safety, loss of childhood, loss of control, loss of faith, Loss of fertility And we reassure our listeners that whatever loss they have experienced what they are feeling is normal. We tackle the grave misconception that there are stages of grief.  The fact is there are no stages. Grief cannot be neatly categorized. Elizabeth Kubler Ross' work was on Death & Dying, not grief. She was very specific about this distinction in her books but the media and the universities have attached her work to grief. This common misinformation has confused and hurt many grievers throughout the years.    We emphasize that there are no stages to grief, every grief is individual and unique.  We also share the typical responses to grief such as: Reduced concentration A sense of numbness Disrupted sleeping patterns  Changed eating habits Roller coaster of emotional    We talk about how grief is often mislabelled as ADHD, Depression, PTSD and many other pathological conditions. We share that mental health professionals that grief recovery specialists work with have found that although their clients come to them with another presenting issue, almost all of them have unresolved grief as the underlying problem and If you misdiagnose it means you will mistreat. These wrongly labeled grievers are often incorrectly put on various medications, which get in the way of recovering from loss.  And this shows that there is unresolved grief everywhere. A study of 8800 US mental health clients established that a large percentage of people diagnosed as depressed and placed on antidepressant drugs are not clinically depressed. They are actually experiencing unresolved grief due to prior losses in their lives.  And any grief that is not embraced, and worked through would end up being covered, buried and the fact that time has elapsed doesn't mean healing has taken place. We remind our listeners again that time does not heal wounds, it is facing it and taking actions that guarantee healing. So how then do people know if they are experiencing unresolved grief? We list the 5 signs that show this  1. If you are unwilling to think about or talk about someone who has died or express feelings about any other losses.  2. If fond memories turn painful, you may be experiencing unresolved grief. 3. If you want only to talk about the positive aspects of the relationship, you may be incomplete or experiencing unresolved grief. 4. If you want only to talk about the negative aspects of the relationship, you may be incomplete or experiencing unresolved grief. 5. Unresolved grief may be at the root of any fear associated with the thoughts or feelings about a relationship.  We encourage anyone listening who feels they may have unresolved grief that they too can recover and find new meaning to life after experiencing grief. You can actually recover from grief.    Stella listed some steps you can take to recover from grief. 1. The first step is to face it,  grief is healthy,  and realize that you are not alone, God is with you,  2. Grief is healed in community, you need people,  3. Take action, start with admitting what it is you lost, identify other losses you never grieved,  4. Talk to God about how you feel, express yourself before God(e.g journaling and blogging and just talking to God and asking him lots of questions),  5. Stay grounded in the love of God. (remind yourself that you are loved, and because you love God, all things would work together for my good)ps 23.4. Roms 8.28 Detola shares that Recovery is being able to enjoy fond memories without having them turn painful. Recovery means acquiring the skills we should have been taught as a child. These skills allow us to deal with loss directly. Although recovery from significant emotional loss is not an easy task. Taking the actions that lead to recovery will require open-mindedness, willingness, and courage.  Recovery from loss is achieved by a series of small and correct choices made by the griever.  We round up by saying again that you are not alone on this journey, and we encourage grievers to acknowledge how they feel, journal their thoughts, and always be emotionally honest with themselves and others. We share how to lament before God and Rick Warren sums it nicely, he says we must go to God and complain to him and not about him, tell him what we think is unfair or painful,  Appeal to his nature Remind God of his words Express total trust in God   We know that discussions around grief can be hard but we are available to help and support anyone who would require our services and you can reach us by sending us an email at hello@whenlifestops.org   For more information about us, you can go to our website   http://whenlifestops.org   https://www.instagram.com/stellaagwor/   https://www.instagram.com/detolaamure/ If you have found this episode valuable we ask that you please share, like, comment, and subscribe to this podcast on whatever podcast app that you are listening from.   God bless you and see you next week.

Welcome to Episode 2. Thank you so much for the love and feedback received for our first episode, we truly appreciate all our listeners.   In this episode your hosts Detola Amure and Stella Agwor have a passionate discussion and challenge some Grief myths that is, the things commonly said when people encounter loss.   We grouped them using the 6 most commonly heard ones according to The grief recovery handbook by John W James and Russell Friedman   1. We say that when people say: Don't Feel Bad, you have the right to acknowledge and express those painful emotions that you are feeling.    2. Replace the Loss, we say that every loss is unique and cannot be replaced. Grievers should be allowed to grief individual losses and not seek to immediately replace what was lost. 3. Grieve Alone, isolation does nothing to help grief, we grief better in community and we encourage our listeners to reach out for support and feel free to express and talk about their losses.   4. Grief Just Takes Time or Time Heals All Wounds. This isn't true, time doesn't heal, it is what you do with the passage of time that determines if you heal or stay stuck in grief.  We encourage grievers to come face to face with their pain, embrace it, and work through it.   5. Be Strong & Be Strong for Others: we ask what being Strong actually looks like, and if not showing emotions shows that you are strong. 6.Keep busy, keeping busy only acts as a distraction and sooner or later, if we don't stop the effects of not grieving would show up in other areas of our lives.   We also share tips on how you can support those experiencing loss by simply giving them the gift of your presence and allowing them to express their emotions.   We remind our listeners that they are not alone and if we both can move forward and live purposeful lives, they too can.   We know that discussions around grief can be hard but we are available to help and support anyone who would require our services and you can reach us by sending us an email at hello@whenlifestops.org   For more information about us go to our website   http://whenlifestops.org   https://www.instagram.com/stellaagwor/   https://www.instagram.com/detolaamure/ If you have found great value in this episode, we ask that you please share, like, comment, and subscribe to this podcast on whatever podcast app that you are listening from.   God bless you.

In a family, we not only have our own grief to process, but we also watch our partners and children grieve. Today we are going to delve into our own personal experiences with grief and some things we have found helpful while processing our own as well as guiding our families through the waters of loss.
