In this weeks episode, Jessica Fowler interviews Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW about her book The rebellious WIDOW: A practical Guide to Love and Life After Loss.  In this episode Jill is open about her own experience with grief after losing two of her wives. She shares about her experience with grief and because of that learned to do what is best for her and that does not always follow the "rules" of grief.  She explores how to challenge some of those believes and how to set boundaries.  Jill shares how it is important to allow people their own journey in grief and change.  Jill has authored several other books and is the co-owner of Central Counseling Services in Riverside, California.  You can connect with Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW on instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms.

Hospice social worker and grief counselor Jill Johnson-Young is sharing wisdom and her perspective on end of life care for the LGBTQ+ community.  Just like every other patient and caregiver, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their caregivers want to feel safe and be treated with respect during their end of life experience.  Although it's difficult to do, end of life workers need to be aware of their own biases.  Members of the LGBTQ+ community might be hesitant to choose hospice care, withhold necessary information from their end of life team, or even go back in the closet during hospice care. While each of us have opinions, hospice interdisciplinary team members should never voice those opinions about patients' and caregivers' lives.  Quality of care suffers when healthcare professionals show prejudice and judgmental attitudes.  The care of people in the LGBTQ+ community should be no different than the care that's provided to any other patients.  Everyone deserves respect, compassion, tolerance, and empathy.

We're having an open, honest discussion with hospice social worker and author Jill Johnson-Young about intimacy during a serious illness. Jill's been widowed twice, and knows the importance of physical intimacy even at the end of life.  As a hospice social worker, Jill has seen what it's like for terminally ill patients and their partners to struggle with physical intimacy.  Losing physical intimacy is just another loss of identity and who couples are together. It can be a source of anticipatory grief at a time when intimacy is so important.  There are many layers to physical intimacy, not just the sexual component.  After the death has occurred, it can be important for the partner to be involved in providing postmortem care, to bathe their loved one's body.  Hospice professionals can support and encourage the desire of patients and their partners to be physically intimate.  Humans need connection to thrive, and that doesn't stop in the presence of a serious illness.

Jill and Linda were a happy couple. They went about their lives and built a strong family with their three adopted foster children. They both knew a bit about grief and loss — Jill did hospice grief work and grief therapy, and Linda was an emergency room nurse. So when Linda got diagnosed with breast cancer, and survived, and then a 100% fatal pulmonary disease, they knew what to do — anticipatory grief work and planning for the inevitable future. Jill lost Linda. Shortly after, while ”not doing grief properly,” Jill remarried. Then Casper fell ill and died. Then Jill remarried again. Ricocheting back and forth from wife/partner to caretaker to widower and back again was a disorientating and challenging journey. Learn how Jill navigated loss, effectively used her “grief card,” and intentionally became the version of herself she really wanted to be through post loss growth. Talking Points: - The most important things to focus on once your loss occurs. - How a terminal diagnosis is about more than just one death. - The widow rules. - What does “go through grief and take them with you” mean when you lose someone? - How to keep your loved ones with you after they've transitioned. - The most amazing and beneficial possibility from grief and loss - The difference between anticipatory grief, and life after loss grief - How many people do you unexpectedly lose, by them walking away from you because of discomfort, when you have a death? - The internal attitude you need to face mortality. - The importance of understanding that your inner and outer support circles fluid - The most important gift to capitalize on during the grief process - The indignity of differential legal protections. - The magic of the grief card - How to move in and out of caregiver mode. - What the “giving back” at the end of the grieving process is.

On this episode, I speak with Jill Johnson-Young aka “The Rebellious Widow” about the importance of learning how to work effectively with grief. Jill educates about grief from both professional training and from being widowed twice. Jill Johnson-Young, LCSW is the CEO of Central Counseling Services in Riverside, California. She and her business partner opened CCS 12 years ago, and it has grown to include three locations. Jill's career has included more than a decade with hospice as a medical social worker and as director of social workers, chaplains, and grief staff, and child welfare for close to two decades, including adoptions. Jill has authored several books for children and adults on grief. Her most recent book, The Rebellious Widow, was released in March of this year.

I asked this week's guest, Jill Johnson-Young, the following question:"How are you still upright?" @RebelliousWidow experienced the loss of Linda, her first love, after 23 years. Linda had survived breast cancer but later succumbed to pulmonary fibrosis which was due to the chemo she received to beat the breast cancer.Jill would find herself, what she calls, a "rebellious widow" once more after her love, Casper, died of Lewy Body Dementia after 3 1/2 years. The capacity to love is plentiful in Jill's heart, along with Linda and Casper, who were also co-parents in their own time, to at-risk children who needed it most; children who had experienced grief and trauma, too. Jill weaves in stories of being an adoptive parent throughout this episode, providing tips and guidance in supporting grieving children. We are all "built" differently. Our environments, family unit, generational beliefs passed down, personal experience, our own uniqueness, and more all add to the tapestry of our lives. And, altogether greatly influence how we respond to grief and trauma. Growing up within a family unit that openly talked about death, dying, and grief at the kitchen table, Jill learned valuable lessons that would shape her path forward as a clinical social worker and set her up to embrace the grief that was to come rather than run from it. We talk about so many areas of grief and loss, as it pertains to children, death and dying, hospice/palliative care, boundaries, and the how of getting through it all. We are taught how to acquire things/people, not what to do when we lose them. Let this episode bring hope to your sorrowful heart if you are grieving today.

Jill Johnson-Young is my guest for episode 43 of The Courage, Coaching and Counseling Podcast. Jill is a Grieftalker, an expert on grief and has written books for children and adults about grief and loss. In this episode, we talk about her background in hospice, how to talk with kids about death, unmentioned grief, dementia, anticipatory grief, grief therapy and support, and more. One thing I loved about this conversation is Jill's experience helped this topic not seem so big and overwhelming. From Jill's website, https://jilljohnsonyoung.com/ "Let me tell you a little about myself: I am based out of Riverside, California. I've been widowed. Twice. Before age fifty. I've faced down cancer with my first wife, who died ten years later cancer-free, but with pulmonary fibrosis and heart failure probably brought on by the chemo that gave us ten extra years. Not many years after I remarried following my first wife's death, my second wife developed weird symptoms that no physician could seem to figure out. I finally did. That's when we realized she had early-onset Lewy Body Dementia. She died only months after we finally got the diagnosis. I've had the honor of working with too many hospice families to count, helping patients prepare for their deaths, and families for the loss that was most certainly coming. I've had the honor to be present when many of those patients died. I've provided support groups for children in schools, adults, and for those who are terminally ill. Death really is not scary to me, or a subject I avoid. I've raised my kids to see death as a part of life. Now that I'm married to a funeral director, it really is part of our daily life. But that does not mean we can't laugh, we can't feel sunshine on happy days, or that life is negative. That's not who I am. That's not who I want anyone else to be. the technical stuff: my BA is from the University of California, Riverside, and my MSW comes from the University of South Florida, and I am licensed in the state of California as an LCSW. On top of being the CEO of Central Counseling Services allowing me to serve as a clinical therapist, I am also a certified Grief Recovery Facilitator."

Author Jill Johnson-Young knows a thing or two about grief. She shares her deep, funny, irreverent wisdom in an interview with The Heart of Hospice.  Jill is a social worker based in California, owner of Central Counseling Services and is the author of The Rebellious Widow, an insightful look into managing grief on your own terms.  After losing two spouses, Jill experienced the full spectrum of other people's expectations and rules. She shares the lessons she learned about not following the grief rules that society wants to impose on grievers in her book.  Included in The Rebellious Widow is guidance for a new grief paradigm. Jill teaches that our grief shouldn't be confined by the boundaries that others define for us.  We can define our own grief, taking parts of those we lose with us into the future we create for ourselves.   Find Jill's blog, books, and connect with her at JillJohnsonYoung.com.  She's got a lot of resources about grieving, pet loss, hospice, dementia.  Connect with Jill to teach your team or speak at your event by clicking here.  Her website has things to help as well as her books for both adults and kids.

Jill Johnson-Young guest co-hosts. Jill is an internationally known grief therapist, Mom, author, entrepreneur, and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). While in her 40’s, Jill lost her first wife Linda. Then, Jill lost her second wife Casper. Casper was first wife Linda’s hospice nurse. And now, Jill is married to her third wife Stacie. Stacie is the mortician who cared for both Linda and Casper. Reread and wrap your mind around that! But that’s not all… Jill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In her own trial by fire, what surprised Jill is how popular conventional grief therapy training didn’t fit her own experience! What was offered as the “right way” to do grief left Jill feeling ashamed and a failure at grief. How do you fail at grief? And that’s why in her book, The Rebellious Widow, Jill rewrites the expectations of dying, death, and grief.  And like a boss, Jill takes the unwritten shame-filled rules of widowhood—and shreds them. If you’re a male, don’t let the title fool you. I read Jill’s book twice. I finally found answers to my own questions along with a practical way to forge a fulfilled future.  Jill, The Rebellious Widow, gives you strategy, tools, and actionable tactics so you can face death, grief, and if you choose, recreate a beautiful life.

We've grieved with our spouse, and reorganized our lives in our heads before they die. So were done with our grief when others are just starting." - Jill Johnson-Young Connect with guest Jill Johnson-Young: Website | Book Connect with host Edward Tay

She has not only survived the death of two spouses, but she has lived a life that THRIVES and that is what she helps others do too.
