My guest today is Debra Kiva. Debra is a certified grief educator and coach who works with, and is trained by, renowned grief expert, David Kessler.  Debra facilitates loss groups for Kessler's online grief community, Tender Hearts, and co-facilitates loss groups for grieving complex relationships. And she supports people facing anticipatory grief, the grief of losing a loved one by long term illness/dementia, as she has deep experience in dementia and sibling loss.  As an adult she has experienced the loss of her brother, both parents (who were very difficult/abusive when she was a child), and many friends. Debra also devotes her time as the Director of the Hummingbird Choir, a joyful singing community for those with memory challenges and she is the Co-Director of Yuba Spirit Threshold Singers and a member of Whidbey Island Bedside Singers which brings gentle songs to those on the threshold of life, bringing moments of ease and comfort for clients, family and caregivers.  Debra has begun a new group for working with those who are grieving parents or caregivers were neglectful, narcissistic, emotionally absent, addicted, or mentally ill. She and her co-facilitator Katia Miniovich have created a place where participants can feel understood within the complexities and confusion which may arise from these losses, as these losses are often not recognized by the culture or peers who have had different upbringings. Debra believes that healing happens within connection and she is dedicated to serving others, letting them know they are not alone and are held with compassion. She supports clients on Zoom and in person in her office on Whidbey Island, Washington.I first saw Debra's name through a notice of her grief group and was so intrigued by this offering, recognizing complex grief and loss.  I reached out and I'm so glad she agreed to come on the podcast.  She and I talk about this deep complexity of grieving loss when the relationships were difficult, for many different reasons.  This isn't something that I've seen talked about in this way before and I share various pieces of my own journey of losing my first husband Eric and the complexity of grieving while recognizing the challenges of our marriage and relationship.We recorded this conversation in early April and it is serendipitous that it's being published now, as my father passed away just a few days ago, after a slow decline from Dementia with Lewy Bodys.  I was listening to this conversation to get it ready for publication while with my family during my dad's final few days and wow, I was so grateful!Debra, I'm so incredibly grateful for the connection with you and for this conversation.  Your beautiful and graceful presence is a gift in this world.  Creating spaces for talking about and experiencing grief without judgement is an incredible way to make life less difficult. And one final thing before we jump into our conversation, I just want to share this quote from Debra:  You don't get over grief, you just continue and grow around it….  You have to figure out how to move forward and grow around it and find more love than pain.If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, please know that you are not alone.  Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to connect. Debra KivaCertified Grief Educator/Support Provider Certified Grief Coach Certified Grief Movement Guide debkiva@gmail.com530 913-0320Make Life Less Difficult~ Support:buymeacoffee.com/lisatilstra

David Kessler discusses grief and loss and how it's not that bad and why Jay is reluctant to grieve. We talk about accepting the end of our lives, how children deal with death, and why we are triggered to feel loss in the strangest moments. We talk about being honest with loved ones and not overreacting, and the value of using the ticking clock of death to live better today. We take listener questions and get ready for the best end we can create for ourselves. Bio: David Kessler is one of the world's foremost experts on grief and loss. He is the author of seven books, including his latest bestselling book, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief, as well as a new Finding Meaning companion workbook.

Tender Hearts

In this episode, Frank and Matthias explore the idea that trauma can be passed down from parents to children. They discuss how both genetics and the family environment play a role in this process. The conversation covers how messages and behaviors from parents and grandparents can affect a person's stress levels and reactions, even if the person didn't directly experience the trauma themselves. Frank and Matthias explain how trauma can change the way genes work and how these changes can be inherited.Upcoming events:Learn more about Tender Hearts with David KesslerLearn more about Treating Trauma with the Integrative Relationship Therapy Approach featuring Tammy NelsonJoin the Institute:Trauma Institute: @traumainstitute | traumainstitute.comFrank Anderson: @frank_andersonmd | frankandersonmd.comMatthias Barker: @matthiasjbarker | matthiasjbarker.com

Welcome back to the kitchen table. One of our deepest prayers is that our children walk through life with tender hearts. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15 about the importance of forgiveness.   We seek God's guidance to help our children maintain a tender heart, free from bitterness and anger. Life's challenges can often leave wounds that make it easy for their hearts to harden, not just towards others, but even towards God. When our children experience wounds, we pray that they bring these hurts to God. We want to teach them that it's okay to feel pain and to question, but it's essential to walk through these emotions with God. We ask God to help our children walk with tender hearts, to embrace and extend forgiveness, and to bring their wounds to him for healing.

Tender Hearts by Pastor Josh Robinson Recorded on 12/31/23

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” — Matthew 10:16 Officer Clayton grew up on the South Side of Chicago and was inspired to become a police officer to serve his community. He has arrested hardened criminals in life-threatening situations. He can be tough skinned and all business in situations where he needs to be. He also comes by Roseland Christian Ministries to bring bicycles for children, tickets to the circus, and school supplies for kids when the school year starts. He is both tough and tender. He is strong-willed and sensitive to the needs of others. I am inspired by people who are a synthesis of gifts that we don't normally attribute together. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered a sermon on this topic, titled, “Tough Minds and Tender Hearts.” This sermon is a gift to anyone who may feel like a square peg in a round hole at times. Following Jesus requires that we not give into societal expectations if they diminish the fullness of who God made us to be. We have in us, as children of God, the capacity to be both as shrewd as a serpent and as innocent as a dove, tough and tender, creative and organized, thoughtful and action oriented. In what ways are you a synthesis of attributes that may seem like contradictions but come together to form you? Lord, bring together all the traits that make us who we are, even those that can seem contradictory. Make us whole by the power of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Listen in as we chat about For Brown Girls with Tender Hearts and Sharp Edges, with Victoria Teske. As always, we'll share meaningful segments and discuss how many of these bookish moments connect to our lives. Don't forget about our choice of emoji at the end!

On this season 3 opener of the Latinas with Masters Podcast, Christina interviews Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez, Nicaraguan author of, "For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts." What we love about Prisca is that she is unapologetic and uncompromising about protecting and upholding the stories of Latinx communities and we are very fortunate to have her as the first guest of Season 3 on the show.  A chingona feminist, theologian, storyteller, and advocate in her own right, she is also a fellow Latina with a Master's degree who earned her Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt University's Divinity School. Christina and Prisca, both sharing the culture and identity of first-generation Nicaraguans, who talk about her book "For Brown Girls" that at this point, is every Brown Girls bible and guide who have experienced imposter syndrome, sense of belonging or simply being called a "difficult daughter".  She's all vibes in this episode as she is not afraid to say it how it is and shares big pockets of wisdom for us Latinx who are navigating graduate school, her views on the the lack of Latinx representation in the media and on social media but most of all, she is hella chill and down to earth sharing some personal favorites and what we can expect and look forward to next from nuestra amiga and Latina Rebel Prisca! We hope you enjoy this podcast episode as much as Prisca and Christina enjoyed bringing this episode to life.
