Sweet SorrowFinding Enduring Wholeness after Loss & Grief

Wellness Rising from Wellness House of Annapolis welcomes Dr. Sherry Cormier, psychologist and author of “Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness after Loss and Grief.”   

How to Grow and Thrive After a Traumatic Loss? Few of us know how to navigate the territory of traumatic loss successfully. Sweet Sorrow shows how we can respond and grow stronger from loss and suffering. Written by psychologist and certified bereavement trauma specialist Dr. Sherry Cormier, Sweet Sorrow chronicles the decade following the loss of her husband, father, mother, and only sibling. Dr. Sherry's carefully considered work provides perspective on grief and healing over time. Its longer-term approach allows readers to have a more complete and accurate picture of the oscillations of grief over time. The book describes not only the immediate agony of the author's losses, but also the process of starting over and making a successful new life as a single person full of hope and joy. Sweet Sorrow combines Sherry's psychological expertise and clinical experience with the compelling art of memoir to illuminate the surprising ways in which loss survivors can grow and even thrive to achieve wholeness after heartbreaking, traumatic losses. Using findings from post-traumatic growth, as well as evidence-based psychological approaches, Sweet Sorrow illustrates through story and example: — Ways for grief survivors to start over — Tools to manage chaos and stress — How to let go, and to heal with new strategies and re-storying — Resources and recommendations for self-care — Tips and suggestions to respond creatively and helpfully to those around us suffering loss Sweet Sorrow is a work of inspiration intended to accompany readers through the processes of loss and grief much like a helpful Sherpa might guide a lost traveler. The author provides critical insight into the journey of death as experienced by a spouse.   Valeria interviews Dr. Sherry Cormier.

Psychologist and certified bereavement trauma specialist Sherry Cormier withstood a decade of personal loss and emerged to write about the promising path back to self-fulfillment in her memoir Sweet Sorrow. Joining Chelsea 15:30 minutes in, Sherry speaks to the dual nature of life and love, drawing a parallel between thank you and heartbreak and sweetness and sorrow. However, she acknowledges that gratitude doesn’t happen initially—even if you may find yourself relieved after leaving an abusive relationship, for instance, or no longer acting as the caretaker to a spouse—but rather unfolds through the management of chaos and stress, in starting to share yourself with the world instead of only a soulmate or best friend, in re-storying the grief and rebuilding a vision for how your life was meant to go. __To connect with Sherry, visit her:Website: https://www.sherrycormierauthor.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/sweetsorrowbookFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SweetSorrowBookLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cormier-sherry-b772072aPurchase Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness after Loss and Griefhttps://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Sorrow-Finding-Enduring-Wholeness/dp/1538114178__Work with Chelsea: www.breakupward.com/shopChelsea’s website: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter: bit.ly/tyhbletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakConnect and send in your questions and/or letters viawww.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakOr by email: Chelsea@breakupward.com

We… Continue reading Ep. 198 Grief and Post-Traumatic Growth: Finding Wholeness After Loss with Sherry Cormier PhD

Sherry Cormier is a psychologist who specializes in grief mentoring. She’s the author of Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness after Loss and Grief. She wrote the book over the last decade after experiencing loss and learning how to become whole again. Today we talk about that period of her life and how going through the process of grieving ultimately opened and expanded Sherry's life. She decided that writing a book in the immediate aftermath of trauma would not allow her to give people the best long-term guidance; effectively, her book took ten years to write! Today we talk about: How to grow from traumatic experiences: What it means to reboot or restart The illusion of control Different types of grief: Prolonged grief, seasonal grief, collective grief & more Post traumatic growth: how losses bring gains Her opinion on antidepressants Visitation dreams after you lose someone  Why she prefers to call it Transition not Death Strategies for early grief stages: Self-care (Move), Spiritual practice (Meditate), Connection (Connect) And so much more Sherry is a true gift to this world. She has come to this place in life where she can truly help others through a mix of life experiences and honing her specialties. As she says, “When we pull our brains back from tomorrow and our hearts back from yesterday, we find the sweetness.” I love Sherry’s approach to life, love and loss. I learned a new concept that makes so much sense to me – post traumatic growth. I just wrapped up a week during the Skirt Sports Ambassador Retreat where many women shared their stories of hardship, their struggles and came out the other side stronger. Loss helps us grow. Just ask Sherry. Her final nugget is one of my favorites ever: Remember that what you focus on expands. Love. Worry. Peace. Judgment. Positivity. When you focus on something, it becomes bigger, so when you find yourself focusing on the dark side, remember that you’re only giving it more power and find a way to shift to the good side.

How can you help a grieving loved one?Losing someone is incredibly tough. However, we tend to run away from grief situations. It's easier for things to be happy and light. We need to process our own sadness instead of running from it. Don't push friends to move past that grief. Feelings can build up from traumatic losses that aren't discharged. Helping Your Mourning Friend Don't say “I know how you feel.” Everyone has a unique grief journey and healing process. Ask “What can I do to help now?” The bereaved may not have the energy to make a request. Instead of offering to share a meal any time, ask when you can dine together. See when and how you can help. They may feel worse a few months later than when the loss initially occurred. Check in a few months later. They need casseroles and love beyond the first few weeks. For The Grieving Grief changes over time.  Take breaks from grief to find some happiness as the marathon of feelings continues. Get plenty of sleep. Nurture your immune system. Exercise to elevate mood. Push yourself to be social. There is hope. Listen as Dr. Sherry Cormier joins Melanie Cole, MS, to share tips for the grieving and how you can help your loved one after loss.

When we lose someone, everything changes. The experience is a milestone that can bring everything to a standstill for a time. To move forward, we need the tools that help guide us ahead and lend support through our ups and downs.  The only guarantee in life is that it doesn't go on forever. For those left behind after a loved one dies, the loss can be overwhelming. But the process of recovering is often misunderstood and misrepresented. We never “get over it” — and we shouldn't. Whether or not we can free ourselves from the weight of grief or even just muster the energy to take care of things often depends on our capacity to find the resources we need — both internal and external — to help us cope, develop resilience, grow, and even thrive. Today's specail guest, sychologist, grief expert and widow Sherry Cormier explains why no one should expect a grieving person to “get over it and move on.” She offers the 8 most effective tools for healing — and she knows firsthand that they work.  Sherry Cormier, Ph.D. is a psychologist, consultant and public speaker. Formerly on the faculty at the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University, she is the author of Counseling Strategies and Interventions for Professional Helpers, and coauthor of Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers.

What is your experience with grief and loss? How can we get through grief and loss and see if there is another step of life just waiting on the other side of the stars in the moonlight?

Until you work them through, they will interfere with your health and the health of your current relationships, as well as with your perspective on life.You don't want to be carrying past issues into current relationships.
