Join us as Ocean House owner and author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with New York Times bestselling authors Meghan Riordan Jarvis and Catherine Newman as they discuss their novels End of the Hour and Sandwich.  About Meghan Riordan Jarvis is a podcast host (Grief Is My Side Hustle), two-time TEDx Speaker, and psychotherapist specializing in trauma and grief and loss. After experiencing PTSD following the deaths of both of her parents, Jarvis founded Talking Point Partners to help employers address complex emotions such as grief in the workplace. Jarvis is currently at work on Can Anyone Tell Me Why: 25 Essential Questions About Grief and Loss, which publishes with Sounds True Media in 2024. Originally from New England, Jarvis currently lives in Maryland with her husband and their three children, where competing piles of LEGO bricks and books cover most surfaces of their house. About End of the Hour “A frank chronicle of healing.”—Kirkus Reviews Esteemed trauma therapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis knew how to help her patients process grief. For nearly twenty years, Meghan expected that this clinical training would inoculate her against the effects of personal trauma. But when her father died after a year-long battle with cancer, followed by her mother's unexpected passing while on their family vacation, she came undone. Thrown into a maelstrom of grief, with long-buried childhood tragedy rising to the surface, Meghan knew what she had to do―check herself into the same trauma facility to which she often sent her clients. In treatment, trading the therapist's chair for the patient's couch, Meghan took her first steps toward healing. A brave story of confronting life's hardest moments with emotional honesty, End of the Hour is for anyone who has experienced the unpredictable, lasting power of grief―and wondered how they'd ever get through it. About Catherine Newman has written numerous columns, articles, and canned-bean recipes for magazines and newspapers, and her essays have been widely anthologized. She is the author of the novel We All Want Impossible Things; the memoirs Waiting for Birdy and Catastrophic Happiness; the middle-grade novel One Mixed-Up Night; and the bestselling kids' life-skills books How to Be a Person and What Can I Say? She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts. About Sandwich “Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life.”–Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake. “A total delight.”–Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger. From the beloved author of We All Want Impossible Things, a moving, hilarious story of a family summer vacation full of secrets, lunch, and learning to let go.

Spiritual Practices for Healing The role of trauma therapy in processing grief The impact of unresolved childhood trauma on adult grief Differences in grieving processes based on the nature of loss Why does grief feel so heavy, both emotionally and physically?  How do we build resilience when grief feels overwhelming?

Meghan, a trauma therapist specializing in grief and loss, shared her experiences and insights from her book, highlighting the common symptoms of grief, such as brain fog, memory loss, and emotional turmoil. She also stressed the importance of understanding that grief is not a singular event but a continuous process, with big and small losses contributing to the overall experience. The conversation also touched on the importance of acknowledging and validating the grief process, as many people feel like they are failing or going crazy due to the lack of cultural understanding and support. Meghan and Dr. discussed the cultural norms surrounding grief and bereavement in Western societies. Meghan highlighted the lack of support for grieving individuals, with many companies only offering three days of bereavement leave. She suggested that this lack of support can lead to self-criticism and isolation. Dr. noted that many cultures grieve together and that Western societies expect to compartmentalize grief. Meghan proposed making an appointment with oneself to acknowledge and process grief and suggested that this could be a helpful tool for those experiencing grief. The conversation also touched on the importance of having a support system during grief. Meghan and Dr. discussed the complexities of grief and loss, emphasizing the importance of understanding and accepting the new roles and identities of such experiences. They highlighted the need for individuals to consciously decide how they want their relationships to continue after a loss and the importance of maintaining a connection with the person who has passed. Meghan also shared her personal experience of grappling with spirituality and the search for meaning after her mother's sudden death. The conversation concluded with Meghan encouraging people to view grief as a natural part of life, deserving the same support and understanding as other challenging experiences.

What if we started seeing grief as a form of trauma—could it help us make sense of the confusing ways our mind and body react to loss? In this conversation, Debbie sits down with Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a psychotherapist who's spent her life helping people navigate the heartbreak of loss. She's here to talk about her new book, Can Anyone Tell Me? Essential Questions About Grief and Loss, and to share her personal and research-based wisdom on this tender subject. We look into the messy, complicated emotions that grief can bring—like anger, guilt, regret, and anxiety—and Megan offers simple, meaningful ways to cope. We also tackle the bigger picture: why we need more honest conversations about death and how we can show up better for each other in times of loss. We hope you'll join us for this meaningful conversation that might just give you a little clarity, hope, and comfort wherever you, or even the loved ones you are supporting, are on your grief journey.  Listen and Learn:  Why grief education is key to feeling less alone, less afraid, and truly understood How we can reconnect in the face of profound loss Loss, grief, and mourning: uncovering the nuanced definitions and how they shape our healing journeys How Meghan's two very contrasting losses shaped her approach to grief and healing The varying emotions of grief and why anger and anxiety might be more common than expected The shifting waves of loss, unexpected triggers, and lasting connections The idea of signs from loved ones Could the signs we receive from loved ones beyond death be more than just coincidence?

When Meghan Riordan Jarvis's mother died suddenly, just two years after her father died of cancer, she watched herself grieving from two perspectives. One as a daughter and the other as a trauma-informed therapist. As a daughter she was devastated and deeply impacted on all levels. As a therapist, she recognized in her grief signs of PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder. The therapist part of her also realized she wasn't getting better on her own and needed the next level of care. Meghan's new book, End of the Hour, A Therapist's Memoir, chronicles the unresolved trauma of her early life, how it resurfaced after her parents died, and how she tended to both her grief and trauma. We discuss: Meghan's relationship to memories of her parents How she grieved differently for her father and mother - and why Her childhood experience of grief and how that led to her developing PTSD The signs that let her know she needed the next level of care How she came to write her new memoir The various trauma interventions she tried - and which ones helped Grief is My Side Hustle website Grief is My Side Hustle podcast @meghan.riordan.jarvis on IG @griefismysidehustle on Fbook 

Today's podcast features Meghan Riordan Jarvis who is a clinical psychotherapist and specializes in grief and loss using a trauma informed approach. Meghan is an author, podcaster, and advocate for change for grief in the workplace. In our conversation today, Meghan shares how she discovered her calling to work with clients who have experienced trauma, grief, and loss, and some of the approaches she uses with her clients. She also explains the model she has developed with her colleague to provide individuals who are grieving with a daily practice to help with their grief. During our time together, Meghan and I also discuss our shared interest in shifting how the corporate work environment addresses grief in the workplace. Key Points: Meghan describes anticipatory grief using the example of consuming small cups of water that we can slowly absorb, compared to grief that comes with a sudden or traumatic loss as a form of water boarding or trying to consume enormous amounts of water that the body is unable to absorb. Meghan has a beautiful and easy to understand way of describing concepts related to grief including EMDR and uses analogy of removing stains. Meghan talks about how she approaches self-care, and her decision to care for herself by getting someone to assist and help her in work and organization. This is a good reminder that self-care comes in many shapes and sizes and is unique for everyone. I appreciated Meghan's recommendation to block time into 3-hour increments. This is extremely helpful for those living in the aftermath of a sudden or unexpected death. Trauma leaves the mind and body so overwhelmed, that three-hour increments are a safe and manageable way to structure your day or engage in future planning when you are feeling overwhelmed by the pain or grief after the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one. I am so thankful to Meghan for her time and sharing her insights in this interview. Meghan's first book, The End of an Hour, her personal memoir, was released earlier this week, and her second book, Can Anyone Tell Me: Essential Questions About Grief and Loss will be released October 2024. We will have information about the first book in our Facebook group, Talking About the Podcast Untethered with Dr. Levin along with a reference to the book, The Grieving Brain which Meghan also mentions during our interview. If you would like to connect with Meghan, please join our Facebook group Talking About the Podcast Untethered with Dr. Levin.

In this episode of My Simplified Life, host Michelle Glogovac speaks with Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a clinical psychotherapist specializing in trauma and grief. Meghan shares her journey of grief and trauma following the sudden death of her mother, which led her to seek professional help and eventually write her book, End of the Hour. The episode explores Meghan's experiences in a trauma-based facility, her road to recovery, and the profound impact it had on both her personal life and professional approach to therapy. What we're talking about Even professionals need help sometimes The importance of asking for help The different impact of sudden versus expected loss Insight into Meghan's book, End of the Hour Even professionals need help sometimes: Meghan, despite being a seasoned professional in dealing with trauma and grief, found herself in need of "next-level" care following her mother's unexpected death. This serves as a reminder that no one is immune to the overwhelming effects of grief and trauma, and even professionals may need external help to navigate such experiences. The importance of asking for help: One of the crucial steps in Meghan's healing journey was the realization that she needed to ask for help, not just from close friends and family, but also from strangers. This episode underscores the importance of reaching out when faced with overwhelming emotional distress and the potential for increased intimacy in relationships that comes with vulnerability. The different impact of sudden versus expected loss: Meghan's contrasting experiences with the death of her father (which was a slow process due to cancer) and her mother (which was sudden and unexpected) highlights how different types of loss can have varying impacts on a person's mental and emotional state. Her experience emphasizes how sudden loss can be particularly destabilizing and necessitate professional intervention for healing. Insight into Meghan's book, End of the Hour: Meghan discusses her book, its creation, and the therapeutic journey it encompasses. By sharing her journey, Meghan hopes to help others navigate their own experiences with grief and trauma.

Being a plumber doesn't mean the pipes in your house never leak.  Being a landscaper doesn't mean your own yard is magically free of weeds. Why is it then that those of us who work in grief sometimes fall prey to the magical thinking that we will somehow be immune to the heartbreak when someone dies? Meghan Riordan Jarvis, LCSW, is a trauma-informed psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience who harbored the same secret wish. A wish which imploded when her mother died in 2019, just two years after her dad died of cancer. While Meghan's training and clinical acumen didn't prevent her from experiencing grief, they did enable her to recognize when she started to develop PTSD – post traumatic stress disorder – and that she needed additional help.   In our conversation, we talk about:  - What was different about grieving after her father's death vs. her mother's.  - How she recognized the signs of PTSD and the treatment she sought out. - The concept of “meaning making” and how it's important to clarify what types of meaning are supportive and which can be harmful.   In addition to being a trauma therapist, Meghan is a fellow grief podcaster and her show is called Grief Is My Side Hustle. Her memoir is due to be out in the world in 2023.   Grief is My Side Hustle website  Grief is My Side Hustle podcast  @meghan.riordan.jarvis on IG  @griefismysidehustle on Fbook  

When both of Meghan Riordan Jarvis' parents died within a short period of time she experienced what could only be called Post Traumatic Stress. As she moved through her experience she called on all her humor, wit and knowledge to go forward even when she didn't know how. What emerged was a new aspect of the work she was doing, dedicated to supporting other grievers. With her blog, podcast and soon to be released book, Chasing Dark Skies, sharing her own experience has brought comfort to a community of grievers, normalizing the experience in myriad ways.
