In Meditations, Marcus Aurelius wrote “You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.” Death is inevitable for all of us and practicing the art of Memento Mori reminds us to live each day to the fullest and with virtue. David Kessler, a grief and loss expert, joins Ryan today to talk about why a meaningful life comes from embracing rather than fearing death, how grief can shape our understanding and appreciation of life, the balance between grief and joy, and how losing his son changed everything he thought he knew about grief. David's personal experience with grief started very young, as a child witnessing a mass shooting while his mother was dying in a hospital. For most of his life, David has taught physicians, nurses, counselors, police, and first responders about the end of life, trauma, and grief. Even after years of studying grief and counseling those experiencing it, his life was turned upside down by the sudden death of his twenty-one-year-old son.David co-authored two books with Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, including On Grief and Grieving, and after experiencing the death of his son, he updated her 5 stages of grief with a 6th stage: meaning.

Heartbreak is a form of grief, and all endings are a type of death. The stages of grief are not a linear process; everyone experiences them differently. Changing the story we tell ourselves about grief can help in the healing process. Grief must be witnessed by others; isolation only prolongs the healing journey. Our true essence is love, and all other voices are our old wounds. Allow yourself to walk through the pain and face it, as running from it will only prolong the healing process. Grief is messy and non-linear; it's important to allow the messiness and be with where you are. Be with your grief but don't let it become your identity; find healing by not letting past events control your decisions and actions. Finding meaning in grief and loss is about who we become and how we show up in the world.       (Website) Grief.com (Instagram) David Kessler (@iamdavidkessler) • Instagram photos and videos (Twitter) David Kessler (@IamDavidKessler) / X (twitter.com) (Facebook) https://www.facebook.com/IamDavidKessler (LinkedIn) David Kessler, FACHE - Grief.com | LinkedIn (Youtube) David Kessler - YouTube (Pinterest) David Kessler (davidkessler) - Profile | Pinterest

7.16.23 - Psalm 31 - “On Grief, Struggle, and the Christian Emotional Life” - Alex Gailey

Jennifer Senior, Pulitzer-prize winning essayist for the Atlantic, tells the story of mourning, love and recovery. Bobby McIlvaine died in the Twin Towers on  9/11. In her latest book “On Grief; Love, Loss, Memory” author Jennifer Senior reflects the lives of the McIlvaine family and how 20 years after the loss of their son Bobby, their unspeakable grief lingers on. Senior shares their moving personal story and insight into how the long reach of grief impacted all of their lives in very different ways.

Today's episode covers two very different stories involving personal loss and what comes after. First, author Laura Braitman tells NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer about her memoir, What Looks Like Bravery, and how her father's death earlier in life pushed her to unhealthily lean into academic and professional achievements as a coping mechanism. Then, NPR's Rachel Martin sits down with The Atlantic's Jennifer Senior. Her new book, On Grief, expands on her Pulitzer-Prize winning essay about the diary left behind by a 9/11 victim, and the conflict it created between his family and girlfriend.

How often do you read a book to learn versus reading for pure pleasure?In March 2023 I reviewed 4 books on this channel. My favourite was Mr Franklin's autobiography, he's a fascinating guy. All the others I was reading to get something out of them. Whether it was learning more about bad psychoanalytical ideas, pondering the grief I will likely feel in the future, grinding through some Peruvian slang or realising just how much I lack creativity even in coding. Lot of stuff to hurt my brain or that felt like a slog.No boostagrams nor support this month. Very sad puppy :(I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Buku "Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief" oleh David Kessler membahas tentang bagaimana orang dapat menemukan makna dalam pengalaman kesedihan dan kesulitan dalam hidup, terutama saat menghadapi kematian orang yang dicintai. Kessler adalah seorang pakar dalam bidang kematian dan berduka, dan buku ini adalah buku lanjutan dari karyanya sebelumnya, "On Grief and Grieving" yang ditulis bersama Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Buku ini terdiri dari 11 bab, yang masing-masing membahas topik-topik seperti bagaimana kita mengalami kesedihan, bagaimana mencari makna, dan bagaimana meningkatkan rasa koneksi sosial dan spiritual kita. Kessler menggambarkan enam tahap kesedihan, yaitu denial, kemarahan, negosiasi, depresi, penerimaan, dan tahap baru yang disebut "makna".

How should you console someone after a loss?'On Grief & Grieving' by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross & David Kessler is a description of the grieving process after a loved on dies. It examines the common variables of what makes each experience unique through the inner and outer world. It's not so much advice perse as how to understand/think about dying and loss. It contains many mini examples of real stories but lacks stats or hard data to back up the 5 stage model of grief.I summarised the book as follows. ".Much like DABDA, this book is a useful tool. I doubt it will help reduce the grief of a loss but can assist in reducing additional pain from internal anxiety or inadvertently hurting others. I think there is a lot to be learnt but just take it all with a grain of salt."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Atlantic staff writer Jennifer Senior is 53 in real life, but she says that in her head she's "suspended at 36." That was the age she was secure professionally but still full of potential, paired up with her husband “but not yet lost in the marshes of a long marriage." In "The Age in Your Head," which appears in the April issue of the magazine, Senior explores the discrepancy many of us feel between our real age and our "subjective age" and why experiences like a pandemic or trauma can freeze us in time. Guests: Jennifer Senior, staff writer, The Atlantic - author of the article "The Age in Your Head." Her forthcoming book is "On Grief."

On this episode, I (Pedro) chatted with a man who wanted to be a pastor, but instead became a depressed bank teller, and is now a brilliant Psychotherapist. This conversation with Matthias J. Barker is insightful, inspiring, and deeply relevant for all of us. He's become a leading voice in the mental health space while guiding countless individuals toward freedom and health. Below is a little more on Matthias so you can get to know him. He holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has been formally trained for treating complex trauma, anxiety, and marital issues. You have probably seen his content on social media because so many people are discovering healing in his words and tools. Here are a couple of themes that really impacted me from our conversation: His definition of trauma was unbelievably clear & deeply helpful. Spiritual trauma and the predispositions we carry with us from our stories. What do first responders of 9/11 and childhood trauma have to teach us? The parts of us that long to be heard and what can happen when we feel safe to share. Tools for navigating fear and stress. Matthias treats a large variety of mental disorders and difficult life circumstances in his clinical practice. He is the author of two e-books, On Grief and On Avoiding Burnout. In addition, he has released over 8 public workshops focusing on Trauma, Anxiety, Boundaries with Parents, and Couples Conflict. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and two children. You can find him on all social media platforms, @matthiasjbarker, and you can learn more about his available workshops through his website, www.matthiasjbarker.com ||||||| We also are excited to highlight 'This Belongs To' on this episode!

I feel really honored to introduce you to my friend, Courtney! She's one of my favorite people and we're actually going to talk about a really hard topic…grief. Grief can be a really difficult conversation for many people, especially because learning how to navigate grief and tragedy is such an emotional process. And while Courtney hasn't navigated a cancer diagnosis, her oldest child passed away unexpectedly, and I know you'll find so much value and appreciation for her honesty and transparency. Plus, even though everyone's grieving process is so personal and unique, she gives some really practical suggestions and ideas to help you or your loved one navigate something so overwhelming and life-alternating. I pray that this conversation is as life-giving to you as it was to me!

Synopsis: If there's one thing I've learned so far from Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's On Grief and Grieving, it's that we all process grief differently, and there's no wrong way to grieve. As of the recording of this episode, Popo is still with us, but all indications point to the fact that she won't be with us for much longer. This has been on my mind, and when I woke up this morning, I knew I had to make this episode to process my impending grief.

Do you know how to cope with your own grief or the grief of others? Join Dr. Sherry Walling and Josh Trent as they discuss the stages of grief, how to cope with the death of a loved one, why we shouldn't identify with our emotions, and what it means to time travel for our mental health.   Listen To Episode 515 As Dr. Sherry Walling Uncovers: [1:30] Knowing God Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling Why Dr. Sherry is now placing more importance on the here and now. The reason Josh was angry at God when he was younger and how he realized he didn't truly know God. Uncovering why our anger implies hurt or needs that are unmet. Why for Dr. Sherry anger towards God means that there's a longing for a return to spirituality and understanding of what God is. Anger is more powerful than despair. The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R. Hawkins   [10:00] The Stages Of Loss How anger expresses that something inside of us needs to change and why it's a parallel to passionate desire. Jordan Peterson Why energy can't be created or destroyed, only transmuted. On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross How the grief when we are dying is different from the grief that we feel when someone we love is dying. Why grief is not only sadness but also anger and other dynamic experiences. Non-linearity of grief: Why we can't follow a step-by-step path.   [14:05] Losing A Loved One + How To Cope With The Discomfort Around Death Putting her knowledge as a trauma psychologist into practice when her dad passed and her brother committed suicide. How she got to understand that deep grief is universal and that no amount of training could make her exempt from the pain. The reason why we feel void when we lose a loved one. Why her patients and clients see her in a different way after reading her book. How her book has parts that are written about her for her and other parts that are written for others. Sharing your experience with others doesn't mean you're healed but it means that you're no longer bleeding. Why it's ok to let it be painful and uncomfortable for some time when someone's loved one dies. The importance of not skipping through the pain moment to the silver lining. Why the emotional quality of conversations about death should feel uncomfortable for a while. Transitioning to the celebration of the deceased person's life without alleviating the pain.   [22:42] We Are Not What We Feel How birth and death go to the depths of what it is to be human and to love. The ways in which Dr. Sherry found a resemblance between death and birth when she was taking care of her dad. How not being close to birth and death makes us uncomfortable and scared of these experiences. Identifying with our emotions: Why we're not what we feel according to Josh. Why emotions can feel like statements. What happens when we get stuck in emotions or attach to a story. The power of softness, flexibility, and allowing ourselves to feel our feelings without attachment. 483 Wayland Myers | NonViolent Communication: How to Stop Arguments In 60 Seconds + The Power of Loving Detachment Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships by Marshall Rosenberg A healthy way to detach ourselves from our feelings instead of identifying with them. Why language is essential when it comes to our emotions. How two opposed emotions can exist at the same time.   [29:40] Listening To Your Body + How To Choose Your Therapist Listening to the spaces in our body that get triggered with curiosity. Transference: The client redirects their emotions about one person onto their therapist. Countertransference: The therapist projects their emotions onto the client. How we hold imprints of the people in our lives in our bodies. Why Dr. Sherry believes that a dysregulation is a helpful tool when we listen to it. Her own experience with countertransference. What behaviors we should look for within therapists and why it's important to observe our feelings toward them. The quickest way to spot the emotions that we have around our therapist. The importance of money and time containers in therapy. How some therapists can get a secondary gain from the sessions.   [39:50] The Privilege Of Witnessing Death And Birth Josh explains why living well and dying well matter to him. The duality of moving between the world of the dead and the world of raising children and being in love. Why she feels privileged and empowered by being able to shift between the two worlds. The death process inside of us when we become parents. Why Dr. Sherry thinks we don't exist as an autonomous mechanism. The beauty of dyeing she saw when her dad was dying. Why she supports the raw version of her that wrote the book three years ago. How she holds space for her dad and brother during moments of grief.   [48:10] Time Traveling For Mental Health How psychedelics help us with our grief by transcending the physical body. Dr. Sherry's experience with MDMA and how it added another layer to the memory of herself as her father's daughter. 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Why timelines are a big part of trauma and psychedelic-supported therapy. Traveling in time for our mental health: Revisiting the past, being fully present in the moment, and setting the future self up for success. The importance of finding and remembering early memories of joy. Joe Dispenza What hope means to Dr. Sherry and why it's a relationship with our future selves. Why gratitude is the opposite of resentment. How suicide can teach us about the meaning of life. Why play and challenging activities are important to Dr. Sherry. Zen Founder Podcast   Power Quotes From The Show Having Uncomfortable Conversations "If I tell you a painful story and suddenly rush to all that I learned about it and all the reasons it's ok now, I skip through the painful moment. The emotional quality of the conversation becomes relief instead of discomfort. It's ok to let it be uncomfortable for a while and let people hold that space." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Birth And Death "Birth and death are edge states. They are moments in our lives that don't happen very much but they get to the depths of what it is to be human, to be in love, and to show up for people in their most vulnerable moments." - Dr. Sherry Walling   The Challenge Of Middle Adulthood "There's a duality between the world of aliveness and the world of the dead. Many of us will at times in our lives be called to move back and forth between those energies, that's the challenge of middle adulthood. You're in support and in connection to parents and elders who are further along the journey of death, and young ones who are just beginning life. You're a bridge between the world of becoming and the world of ending." - Dr. Sherry Walling   Links From Today's Show  Touching Two Worlds by Dr. Sherry Walling The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.

In this episode Matthias and I discuss the key impacts of trauma on our relationships with others and ourselves, attachments types, trigger warnings, and how trauma triggers happen neurologically.  We need to dive deep into the smaller facets of our lives that we over look within our past stories to build something meaningful.

In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross identified the five stages of dying in her book On Death and Dying. Her work has radically transformed the way we think and talk about grief and loss, giving us a shared vocabulary and understanding of a previously murky, yet universal, human experience. Towards the end of her life, Kübler-Ross worked closely with David Kessler, with whom she co-authored several books and formally adapted the stages of dying into the stages of grief. Today, David is the world's foremost expert on grief and has taught health care workers, counselors, and first responders on facing death and loss. His writings and his website Grief.com have reached millions of people. In this episode, David joins us to share his personal experiences with loss and what his decades of helping those on the edge of death have taught him about finding meaning amid suffering, and happiness after tragedy.In this episode, you will hear about:Thanatology — the study of death and dying — and what drew David to this field - 2:10Kessler's friendship with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the psychiatrist best known for developing the five stages of dying - 6:06How physicians are often ill-equipped to face death and how hey might better engage with dying patients - 11:22David's advice to physicians on finding meaning amid loss and tragedy - 19:05A review of the five stages of dying/grief - 28:58On Meaning, the sixth stage of grief that David developed - 33:38How the pandemic saw a renewed interest in grief management, and how his interview with the Harvard Business Review entitled “The Discomfort You Are Feeling is Grief” went viral - 38:04How David manages the overwhelming sadness he sometimes experiences in his line of work - 43:54David's advice to physicians on comforting grieving patients - 48:31David Kessler is the author of several books, including The Needs of the Dying and Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief, as well as Life Lessons and On Grief and Grieving with Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, who is herself the noted author of On Death and Dying.Follow David Kessler on Twitter @IamDavidKessler.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you know anyone working in health care who would love to explore meaning in medicine with us on the show, feel free to leave a suggestion or send an email to info@thedoctorsart.com.

When was the last time you felt comfortable in your own skin? With society's constant bombardment of what we should and should not look like, it's not easy to find peace with our body image. And when we can't extend love to ourselves, it stretches out to how we show up in other parts of our lives as well. The journey will be difficult and uncomfortable, but you can reframe the narrative and start taking your power back. In the fourth episode of Whole, Full, & Alive, Caitie and Brianna explore body image and how it extends to other areas of life. How do we navigate grief around how we perceive our bodies? Body image coach Brianna Campos shares her experience making peace with her body image and how now she helps former body grievers do the same. If you find yourself stuck and sitting with body grief, listen to this episode and start making peace with yourself!

Losses and endings of all kinds cause our minds and bodies to respond in painful ways. Maybe we can't do much to make the pain of grief go away, but we can definitely choose behaviors that will not make it worse. Join us as we explore section four of "Why Has No One Told Me This Before", "On Grief". Support the show

This episode is one of the most important in the history of the show. We're talking about grief. It's one of those unsexy topics that doesn't get discussed enough, but it's something none of us can escape. Because of that, I invited grief expert David Kessler to the show. David is a six time author - among his books are On Death and Dying and On Grief and Grieving which are seminal works on death and grieving co-authored with Elizabeth Kubler Ross. You may have heard of the five stages of grief - those were originated by Elizabeth and David so he has an intimate understanding of grief. In addition to his formal training, David has experienced loss of his own which informs the sympathy and compassion he brings to helping people find peace and a path forward when looking ahead feels impossible. This conversation is both a balm and a beacon for anyone who's experienced loss of any kind. Behind his brilliance: A thousand mistakes people don't see   Say hi to David on Twitter: @IAmDavidKessler

Survivors Guilt -  In this episode I discuss survivors guilt (the guilt we feel because of or after someone's passing), why we feel it, why we have to go through it and what we learn both about ourselves and spiritually. ____________________________________________ In this episode I refer to a previous podcast (Episode 39) where I discuss our life and soul purpose in detail, you can find that episode by clicking HERE.   I also referred to books by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross here are some links: (a)  On Grief and Grieving (with David Kessler) Amazon UK     Amazon US (b)  On Life After Death Amazon UK     Amazon US (c)  On Death and Dying Amazon UK     Amazon US (d)  Life Lessons (with David Kessler) Amazon UK     Amazon US ____________________________________________ Published on June 22nd 2022 Become a Patron of the Podcast to watch each episode in video, access bonus content, take part in monthly live readings and join my Patreon only Discord channel.  Full details here: https://www.patreon.com/LifeAfterLifewithSandieByrne   Sandie's details and links here: https://linktr.ee/SandieByrne

And so I've kind of been, um, continually gleaning wisdom from afar. And so anytime I get to be in a room with Casey, I just, I just try to get him talking and steal all the secrets. So that's all I've tried to do, but I'm happy to be here. It's a generous, yeah. Title of the. Trauma expert title. I, I think I'm learning just the same as everyone else. It's uh, most of my clientele is in complex trauma and in working particularly with sexual trauma, that's where I've done most of my training. Insecurity and trauma And so that's where a lot of. Um, yeah, a lot of my reading, a lot of my supervision, a lot of my mentorship has been in that [00:02:00] world. So yeah. It's, it's an honor to get to hang out. Yeah. I, you know, right before we started recording, I just kinda threw out the idea. I'm like, you know, it would be interesting to discuss, cause I have some thoughts front of mind, but I'd love to get both of your views on it is, is just the dynamic of insecurity as it relates to trauma. And, um, you know, so I'm on social media. I, I make a lot of like Instagram and Tik TOK videos. I have a popular podcast. And so I'm kind of like almost in this like pop psychology field, even though maybe I spend most of my time reading. I don't know. The academic journals and the literature on different interventions. So it's confusing. Cause people are like, well, what psychology books would you recommend? And I'm like, you wouldn't like any of this stuff, I'm reading it. Like, I don't know. All the stuff I've read is like out a way in the weeds....

This week on The Check-in, we tried something new: a live episode!A few weeks ago, we gathered the Hosts from our Telos Table program, which builds the peacemaking movement locally in cities across North America, for a weekend of training and connection. We discussed the ways communication can divide, but also the ways it can be used to counteract violence and build pathways to peace.We then had a very special evening hearing from international peacemaker and founding director of the Neighbor-Love Movement, Andrew DeCort (PhD). Andrew blew us away with his vision for what it looks like to “love the other.” He discussed the ways in which “when we love the enemy, we become the enemy,” and how grief and lament are essential to the work of peacemaking.Despite the technical challenges, we think this conversation is one you do not want to miss.Read and share the Principles and Practices of PeacemakingFollow Telos on Instagram @thetelosgroupIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts or SpotifyResources:Learn more about the Neighbor-Love MovementChristopher Bollas, “Being A Character”Elisabeth Külber Ross, “On Grief and Grieving”Learn more about the Telos Table Host program

Book recommendations:On Grief and Grieving Walking Each Other HomeThe Tibetan Book of the DeadOn Death and Dying 

How to handle grief and loss What is grief? Grieving, to me, is loving. Grieving is honoring. Missing is honoring. Missing the space this person used to take up on the planet, and now that space is aching, it's empty. The problem with grief is that we make it about us. We always make things about ourselves, when it's really not about us at all and neither does it serve us to believe it is. It's never about us. I've had this one ringing line repeating in my head lately, saying: “There is no wrong way for reality to play out. There is no wrong way for reality to play out.” David Kessler is an author who's written several book on the subject of grief, and I really recommend you to google him if you're going through something heavy. In his book “life lessons”, he says: “But like it or not, change happens and, like most things in life, doesn't really happen to us - it just happens.” The second we really truly start to live from this belief, so much will shift. Things don't happen to us, they just happen. It's not about us. There is no wrong way for reality to play out. We are just here to observe the way reality plays out and what we control is how we choose to respond and react. This is the world. Terrible things happen, and beautiful things happen. You can't change that, and you can't stop that. All you can do is decide how you want to move through the world and respond to things. This doesn't mean that you won't go out and try to make a change, help where you can and create your own opportunities, it just means that when we're talking about things like death and loss and grief, acceptance really is key. You most probably have heard of the 6 stages of grief. If not, it's a formula used by therapists when they work with clients who go through grief. This formula was developed by a woman called Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and she has documented this whole process in a book called On Grief and Grieving, that I also recommend you to pick up if you are dealing with grief right now. The five stages are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. No matter what you are dealing with, even if it's something a bit lighter and smaller, you can't go from the event to moving on. You have to go through some sort if processing so that you can grow from it, learn from it, understand a bit more about what it means to be a human, and then you can move on. It's the same with the 6 stages of grief. You can't go from stage 1 to stage 6, then you are missing the whole point of grief. Grief, like any other heartbreak, can be the most crucial self development opportunity in your entire life. Don't waste it. Face it and become a better person through it. Healing and moving forward, doesn't mean that the loss didn't happen. It doesn't mean that you will forget about them, let them go or deny. It simply means that you will not let the loss control you. It means you will carry the loss with you but you are in control. Here is an important line I also found in a book on grieving: “What would best honor the years they didn't get?” This is so powerful. Honour them by the way you now will live out your life. Vast, curious, brave, honouring the people who did not get to experience this day. I will end with another excerpt from David Kessler's book “Finding Meaning”: “After all my years working with the dying and the grieving, I have found that in this lifetime, the ultimate meaning we find is in everyone we have loved. Your loved one's story is over. For unknown reasons, their time on earth has drawn to a close, but yours continues. I can only invite you to be curious about the rest of the story of your life.”

As the Assistant Athletic Director for Communications, Brian Magoffin '05 G'17 is responsible for all aspects of communication, media, and sports information relating to the 26 intercollegiate men's and women's sports teams at the College. Though the pandemic halted athletic competition in 2020, Magoffin and his staff were motivated to apply their creative energy to provide student-athletes a platform to share their stories and expand the capacity of empathy of others through the "My Story, My Truth" series, as well as, the "True Colors" series. In the fall of 2020, Magoffin was recognized by the NCAA and D3SIDA with the Fall Recognition Award for the impactful nature of the "My Story, My Truth" series. In August 2021, Magoffin was recognized as a national finalist in the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Fred Stabley Jr. Writing Contest for a feature that was written about Sringfield head men's lacrosse coach Keith Bugbee. The article, entitled On Grief and Community, appeared in the Springfield College's Triangle Magazine in January of 2020 and was the District I winner which encompasses institutions in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Newfoundland, Price Edward Island, and New Brunswick. The article was one of eight nationally that was awarded in the Coach/Administrator category. Full Release: https://springfield.prestosports.com/.../20210714mi3ah4 Magoffin has been a member of the athletics staff at Springfield College since 2007, serving as the assistant director of sports communications until being promoted to director of sports communications for the College in July 2012. In 2016, Magoffin earned the role of assistant athletic director for communications. Magoffin's responsibilities include website maintenance and redesign, designing and creating athletics enrollment management materials, developing social media content, overseeing game-day functions, using video production and graphic design to promote the College, and enhancing alumni and donor communication in coordination with the Friends of Springfield College Athletics fundraising arm. In 2013, Magoffin unveiled "Inside the Pride", a weekly video web series dedicated to promoting Pride athletics, which has since had over 100 episodes produced in cooperation with students in the Communications/Sports Journalism major on campus. Springfield College's rise among the social media ranks has been rapid over the past several years, with the Pride's social media accounts ranking among the best at the NCAA Division III level. Both the Instagram and Facebook accounts each rank in the top six nationally, while the Twitter account ranks in the top 15 among the over 450 Division III institutions. Prior to his tenure at Springfield College, Magoffin spent two years as assistant director of athletic communications at Stony Brook University, where he led the athletic department's Web site redesign in 2006, while working primarily with the men's basketball, men's and women's lacrosse, women's soccer, and softball programs. Magoffin earned a bachelor's degree in sport management from Springfield College in 2005 and a masters in athletic adminstration from in 2017, also from Springfield College.

When we have loss in our lives, whether it's a death, breakup or other kind of loss, it's common to override the natural grieving process that is necessary for deeper healing. It often feels easier to distract ourselves from the pain, like turning toward food, drinking alcohol, over-working, having sex or whatever other avenue helps us to numb out. Yet, avoiding the myriad of emotions that come with grief tends to only prolong the pain. My caller today, Sunny is struggling with a huge loss of her own. Her mother recently passed away, and even though she knows she needs to grieve, she has been avoiding it. Her mother was also her best friend, so her loss feels even bigger and she has a lot of anger. She has been using food to suppress her emotions, and calls in wanting to learn how to separate food from emotions. She's gotten to the point where she is so disgusted in herself, that she believes she HATES food.As we talk, she becomes more aware of how she is using food as a distraction and a source of comfort, but is still not sure how to separate the two. She knows that she needs to grieve, but resists it and wants to skip over the process and see it as something to check off her to-do list, like she does everything else. Sunny needs to find closure, peace, and healing both from the loss she is feeling and the way she uses food. As we dive a bit deeper, we uncover the source of her pain, and outline some powerful avenues for her to express her pain so she can begin the healing process and stop using food to numb out.If you are experiencing loss or grief, or haven't allowed yourself to process your more painful emotions, this episode will provide a lot of insight on how to find healing. I am sure you will find Sunny's vulnerability and courage to take these first steps inspiring, and that this episode will enable you to begin to find peace with your emotions.RESOURCESIf you want some free coaching, be a guest on my show and let's work it out together and help you Come Home to what truly matters;​ book a session here.If you have been stuck in the vicious yo-yo diet cycle and want to break out of food prison and end emotional eating, then check out my 7 Step Food Freedom Guide: https://karmachow.com/food-freedom-guide/Find the book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Dr. Emily Nagoski here: https://amzn.to/2ST4nT0To learn more about how people grieve and the stages of grief, find On Grief and Grieving by Elizabeth Kubler Ross here: https://amzn.to/3ADrvGkFor grief support and daily healing prompts, download the Grief Refuge App https://griefrefuge.comCome join my FREE Facebook Group, Reclaim Your Wild: A Radical Self-Care + Self-Discovery Group for WomenFind me on Instagram: @melcostellocoachWebsite: https://karmachow.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/2004687/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/karmachow

Dr. Venus’s brother, Tory, went home to be with the Lord this Christmas Eve. She wanted to have a conversation this week to discuss grief, coping, and how it looks different for everyone. Needless to say, they are each coping with the loss of their beloved family member in the best and healthiest way they can at this time, but how? Tune in this week for an intimate and authentic conversation about strategies to cope, accept, nurture, and ultimately have faith after the death of a loved one due to COVID-19.    Key Takeaways: [1:13] Dr. Venus shares the heartbreaking news that her brother Tory passed away from COVID-19. She discusses how it’s important to never judge a person by how they grieve. The process is different for everyone.  [3:28] When someone you care about is grieving, of course you can send your sympathy and love, but don’t expect a back and forth conversation. They could not have the energy or bandwidth beyond seeing your message and acknowledging it.   [5:02] Don’t tell someone that is grieving what to do, or what not to do. It’s a very personal process.  [5:50] For Dr. Venus, a sense of normalcy and stability is what feels best. Keeping a routine helps her stay grounded during an intense time of grief.  [9:05] The Five Stages of Grief are:  Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance [12:50] If you are the one grieving right now, it’s okay not to talk to people if you feel numb. However you want to show up in the world is okay.  [21:19] We can still be heartbroken and grief stricken but believe that God has an ultimate master plan and have Faith in surrendering to the bigger plan. It doesn’t mean you don’t mourn, but that you set aside your pride and ego to give everything over to God.  [23:50] We have opinions and preferences about how things should be, but we don’t have a big enough view to understand God’s plan.  [25:38] Find things you can spiritually connect with and grieve through. For Dr. Venus, writing and dancing are extremely healing and powerful.  [28:58] Give others (or yourself) the grace of knowing that it’s okay to have delayed reactions in grief. That doesn’t mean you are suppressing, it comes out when it does.    [29:50] Tory was a great brother, father, son, nephew, uncle, friend, provider, and so much more. He was funny, brilliant, entrepreneurial, loving, and kind, and Dr. Venus will always adore him.  [32:49] A large part of COVID is preparation. Take it seriously and do your part.    Quotes:  “The things that have crushed me have turned into cathedrals.”  “For all of us that have lost someone to COVID, know that you are loved, and you are not alone.”    Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

It was April of 2017 when Garrick and the late Kinsloe Kelley Colwell, LMFT, invited over 20 Austin area healthcare professionals to meet and discuss ways in which they could assist the Central Texas community in becoming aware of the importance of completing their advance care directives. Over the next few months, the group met and decided to offer educational programs and resources through a non-profit organization they would call Kitchen Table Conversations. They felt the name of the organization would encourage people to have the end of life conversations in the comfort of their homes instead of during a medical crisis in the ICU. July 1, 2017, this web site was launched. The first workshop was offered the following month. In October, AARP of Central Texas began sponsoring The 3 Ds of Advance Care Planning: How to Decide, Discuss, and Document Your End of Life Wishes workshops.

God meets us on our own terms, and however you honor that — be it traditional, spiritual, or Universal, there is a power bigger than you at work in life.  But, in the midst of police brutality, publicly televised executions, and a virus that feels like a plague, it’s easy to feel energetically exhausted and question where God is, and how this could all be happening.    This week, Dr. Venus focuses on how to activate faith when you are feeling attacked and oppressed. She talks about making sure you are praying for the right things, accessing peace and divinity on the road to joy, and arming yourself with the language of real social and spiritual change. She focuses on three questions about God’s love, trusting the Bible, and activating faith and joy when you feel lost and forsaken.    Key Takeaways:  [3:07] Dr. Venus is steeped in Biblical principles, but whether you consider yourself a Spiritualist, Universalist, or something in between, all are welcome here in this conversation.  [6:10] It is important to process grief and get it out in a safe way, whether it’s immersing yourself in books, writing, speaking to a therapist, etc.  [14:27] Question 1: If God loves me, why would a loving God let the police kill us for SO LONG?  Every action has a reaction, and what we are seeing now is the fall out from our Puritan values that have been planted in the very fabric of America. Instead, we should be praying the right prayers, asking God “What will it take to uproot this tree and set us on a new path to generate new and different seeds (outcomes)?” [20:14] How can I trust the Bible when it has been used to oppress me & mine by White Supremacy for over 400 years? It’s not as much about trusting the Bible as it is about knowing that the Bible can be manipulated. The Bible is a road map and you have to execute it in the way that you believe. A person, any person, can use it as a weapon or healing bond. Humans justify the Bible for what they want to use it for, so you must be aware of the element of free will in there.  [22:40] How do I activate my faith, love, and trust in you Lord, when I feel like you have forsaken me?  If you are reading this or listening along, it means you are alive, you are here, you are whole, and that God is with you. Black men and women are anointed to keep moving forward and get up even when life has generationally knocked us down.  [26:31] From the rotten seeds of hate and bigotry, the world is unifying and transforming because of our pain. We are the chosen ones. [29:20] Even if your body has been wounded and tarnished, we must remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. You can practice moving from flesh to spirit with meditation, writing, movement, or whatever makes you feel connected with your divinity.   [34:11] One of the biggest ways to fight and take on spiritual warfare is to stay peaceful and hopeful.  [38:00] Get peaceful with God, whatever way you can get on the same page. Process your grief. Trust that even if you can’t see the whole picture you can know it’s in divine order and working for the good in everyone. Create some joy. You are here.    Quotes: “As human beings manipulate the Bible for their self-interest, I stop blaming God.”   “A person can use the Bible as a weapon, or a person can use the Bible as a healing bond.”  “When you are chosen, you are given a level of power and skill that has you model for the world what it looks like to walk in faith and be touched by God.”  “As a spirit connected to spirit, we can move anything.” Mentioned:  Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Series  Free Gift When You Join The Truth Tribe The Black Woman Millionaire Hot Mess Edition  Join the conversation!

In this first episode of Until Further Notice, Jess & Beth talk a little about their decisions to switch careers, make new plans, and reconfigure those plans in the wake of global pandemic. Later in the episode, they interview David Kessler, who is the founder of Grief.com and co-writer of On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief through the Five Stages of Loss with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. David's work gained a lot of attention beginning with a widely-shared interview in the Harvard Business Review, titled That Discomfort You're Feeling Is Grief. Here, Jess & Beth speak to David about how to manage loss, when its time to make meaning of grief, and how leaders can help others navigate the process.Special thanks to our producer Mike Boucher, Sonic Pictures: https://www.sonicpictures.com/

“Your loss is not a test, it is not a blessing, it is not a plan. Loss it what happens in life. Meaning is what we make after,” says David Kessler.

“Your loss is not a test, it is not a blessing, it is not a plan. Loss it what happens in life. Meaning is what we make after,” says David Kessler. Kessler is one of the world's foremost experts on grief.

On this episode of Following Jesus with Christ Church pastors Andrew & Addison talk with long time member Miriam Engler on grief. Miriam has been practicing therapy in the Grand Rapids area and brings her years of experience and wisdom to the present circumstance we all find ourselves in. The traditional five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance), as outlined by psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross to describe the emotional journey of preparing for the death of a loved one, plot a useful map as we transit through the uncharted emotional aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic. David Kessler, who worked with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross prior to her death to update the five stages of grief in their 2005 book On Grief and Grieving, stresses that these stages are not linear, and don’t have to be done in any particular order. “One of the things that’s happened over the years is that they’ve become ‘Five easy steps for grieving’ to sort of tidy up our grief, and I always remind people there’s nothing neat or tidy about grief. It’s a very organic process,” he says. …. This prompted his most recent book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief, which he published in November 2019, after getting the approval of the Kübler-Ross family to update her iconic stages of grief. “Meaning is so important because many of us, after every tragedy, deal with post-traumatic stress, and meaning is really the key to us having post-traumatic growth,” he explains. Quotes from the show:"the dance that God has invited us to...is always going on: the band playing the music of forgiveness never takes a break .. the real job of Christians as far as the world is concerned is simply to dance to the hidden music...to wake the world up to the party" - Robert Farrar Capon, "Between Noon & Three: Romance, Law & the Outrage of Grace" Scriptures from the show:The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Ps 23:1) Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. (Ps 124:8) All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Ps 139:16) The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. (Prov 16:33) Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. (Matt 10:29) And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Rom 8:28) And he [Christ] is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col 1:17) He [Jesus the Son] is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

Today is Good Friday, the day we remember the death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. In this episode we talk about the story of Peter denying Jesus just before dawn on this day. Peter is full of despair and hopelessness and shame, experiencing a relational and spiritual scarcity. Scarcity is a form of grief that requires compassion. This challenging season must be met by an abundance of compassion, which we see in the way Jesus reconciles with Peter.  Books that may help: It's OK That You're Not OK (by: Megan Divine) | https://www.refugeingrief.com/book/ On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief through the 5 Stages of Loss (Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler) | https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/On-Grief-and-Grieving/Elisabeth-Kubler-Ross/9781476775555 Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief (David Kessler) | https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Finding-Meaning/David-Kessler/9781501192739 Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes (William Bridges) | https://wmbridges.com/books/

Grief and grieving is a big part of what the society is going through right now with the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode, I'm looking at the work of David Kessler and a past interview with Julia Samuel for thoughts on how you can name and process the emotions and grief you're feeling. In this episode: I share the article in Harvard Business Review where David Kessler names the discomfort we're feeling: grief.  Her first love of swinging on her garden swing as a child Starting Child Bereavement UK, and her work as a patron Her early influences, including the bereavement of her parents Her love of personal connection, and how that led her from a role in publishing to becoming a grief and bereavement counselor The roots and starting point for her book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving Why people shut down and isolate when they grieve, and why they judge themselves on a right or wrong way of grieving Why allowing yourself to feel the emotions of grief is important How to feel the emotions of grief and loss without being overcome by it The impacts of losing important figures like Princess Diana to society, and why so many people are deeply stirred by these tragic losses How a country processes the loss of children in tragedies like school shootings, as it raises the questions of “the existential cruelty of life” How Julia reacts to resistance, by continuing on her path How to jump start your joy: by enjoying her grandchildren’s giggles, getting in touch with nature, and watching romantic comedies and The Amazing Miss Maizel ResourcesJulia Samuel’s Website Harvard Business Review : That Discomfort You're Feeling is Grief (an interview with David Kessler)  David Kessler on Dr. Brene Brown's Podcast, Unlocking Us Julia Samuel’s book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving on Amazon If you are grieving: Julia’s 8 pillars of strength (a free download) On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Elizabeth Kubla-Ross Waking the Tiger, by Peter Levine (a book on healing trauma) The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime Sign up for the newsletter to receive these episodes in your inbox each week.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by David Kessler. David is the world’s most well know expert on healing and loss and you might be able to imagine how excited I was to speak with David. Not only because he is someone that has been in the grief industry for the last three to four decades, but because he worked with one of my personal heroes Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. They worked together on developing what most of us know as the 5 stages of grief. David has just released his newest book all about what he is calling the 6th stage of grief. This stage is all about finding meaning.  The timing of the release of this book and our conversation seems appropriate for the uncertain times and many losses being experienced around the world currently. Please note that this conversation was recorded in early March before the very serious impact of COVID-19 begin to make itself felt in the United States.  Our conversation spans through his own personal journey with devastating losses of his mother, witnessing a mass shooting and also the loss of his son. We talk about what he has experienced since then, and how it has deepend his love for his work and his understanding of grief. We learned that we share a love for flying and his experience working with Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. One important distinction he makes is about the need we all have for our pain to be witnessed and the difference between human pain and spiritual pain.   “Fear doesn’t stop loss or death. Fear stops life.”  ~David Kessler   I hope you’ll listen to the whole conversation as there is a remarkable moment around the 40 minute mark that gave me chills and I’d love to hear what you think about it. I also hope this conversation provides you with some comfort. Please share it with anyone else in your life that you feel might be looking for some extra comfort too.

On the show this week, I’m delighted to be joined by Julia Samuel. She is a British psychotherapist who specializes in grief and bereavement, and founded the UK Child Bereavement charity, that works with children who are grieving, as well as those who are grieving the loss of a child. She is the author of Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving. Julia is a truly delightful person and I really enjoyed getting to speak with her. At first blush, grief may seem to be a strange topic to be covered on a show about joy, but, I see the two emotions as beautiful bookends to each other. Both states are vulnerable in their own ways, both grief and joy are deeply personal things, and each of us experiences them in our own ways. What I love so much about Julia Samuel’s book is that she honors and understands that the journey of grieving is different for each person, and that it’s different based on who you have lost in your life. She chose to divide the book up into sections based on the person’s relationship to the deceased. Julia explains in the interview that she chose to do this because grief is different for each person, and because she wanted the book to be a companion for people who are grieving. She made it easy to pick up, easy to read a bit at a time, easy to see yourself in one of the people she shares about. She also includes the explanations, from a clinical perspective, of what is happening in the bereavement described - the patterns, what to expect, how you might feel. It’s a book crafted for people when they are experiencing something that makes them feel separate, disconnected, alone, and isolated, and gives them support and insights during a difficult time. Julia and I talk about: Her first love of swinging on her garden swing as a child Starting Child Bereavement UK, and her work as a patron Her early influences, including the bereavement of her parents Her love of personal connection, and how that led her from a role in publishing to becoming a grief and bereavement counselor The roots and starting point for her book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving Why people shut down and isolate when they grieve, and why they judge themselves on a right or wrong way of grieving Why allowing yourself to feel the emotions of grief is important How to feel the emotions of grief and loss without being overcome by it The impacts of losing important figures like Princess Diana to society, and why so many people are deeply stirred by these tragic losses How a country processes the loss of children in tragedies like school shootings, as it raises the questions of “the existential cruelty of life” How Julia reacts to resistance, by continuing on her path How to jump start your joy: by enjoying her grandchildren’s giggles, getting in touch with nature, and watching romantic comedies and The Amazing Miss Maizel Resources Julia Samuel’s Website Julia Samuel’s book, Grief Works: Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving on Amazon If you are grieving: Julia’s 8 pillars of strength (a free download) On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss by Elizabeth Kubla-Ross Waking the Tiger, by Peter Levine (a book on healing trauma) The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime

The five stages of normal grief that were first proposed by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross* in her 1969 book On Death and Dying are: denial,  anger,  bargaining,  depression, and  acceptance. They are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost.They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. Not everyone goes through all of them or in a prescribed order. Our hope is that with these stages comes the knowledge of grief ‘s terrain, making us better equipped to cope with life and loss. At times, people in grief will often report more stages. Just remember your grief is an unique as you are. * Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross earned a place as the best-loved and most-respected authority on the subjects of death and dying. Through her many books, and her years working with terminally ill children, AIDS patients, and the elderly,Dr. Kubler-Ross brought comfort and understanding to millions coping with their own deaths or the death of a loved one. Her books have been translated into 27 languages. She passed away in 2004 at the age of 78. Before her death, she and David Kessler completed work on their second collaboration, On Grief and Grieving.
