Podcasts about your grief

Hi everyone! It's Melinda. Welcome to Melinda's Grief Corner! If this is your first time here, be sure to check out past posts to learn more about the inspiration behind this new Article Club feature and read about other grief-y topics I've covered with resources I've shared! Glad to have you here!The emotional part of grief is something you can kind of understand before you're ever on a grief journey. We see it in movies, read about it in books, we listen to grief-y lyrics in songs - longing, sadness, pain, heartache.What I didn't realize were the physical parts of grief. Particularly, the complete exhaustion.When I tell you dear reader that I was completely wiped out the weeks and months immediately after my dad died, I mean it.Like going to bed at 6:00 pm tired.Like sleeping 12 hours and waking up still exhausted kind of tired.The kind of tired where I honestly thought I needed to go to the doctor to make sure nothing was actually wrong with me.Turns out nothing was actually wrong with me. Nothing medically anyway. It's just that grief exists in our body just as much as it does in our emotions.And let's be honest.Grieving is EXHAUSTING.What didn't register for me at the time was that my body was in survival mode. I was in shock at the death of my dad. Anxious about how my mom was feeling over the death of her husband. Overwhelmed by ALL of the things you need to do when someone dies (the number of forms I had to fill out!) - updating friends and family about what happened, where the memorial would be, where they could send flowers etc.I mean no wonder I was exhausted. I was grieving the loss of the person I loved the most and the longest. And on top of that I was just trying to keep me and my mom afloat through the wreckage.It never occurred to me that other people have also experienced grief fatigue until I talked to other grief-y friends. It turns out, it is extremely common to feel completely wiped out in the early stages of grief. (I've also realized it can happen in the later stages of grief, but more on that in a future newsletter).During the early stages of my grief fatigue, I found this helpful article from What's Your Grief that discusses why grief can leave us completely exhausted.What I learned is that 1) I am not weird for sleeping 12 hours a day for several months after my dad died and 2) that there are many reasons why I was exhausted.The article helpfully lays out 10 reasons why someone may be exhausted when in those early stages of grief (early is of course relative to you!). For me several of the reasons rang true, particularly the hyper-vigilance I felt after my dad died (I was constantly worried someone else I loved would die) and my mind being on overdrive (see above all of the tasks you have to do after someone dies, my to-do list kept my mind completely on all of the time).I hope dear reader that you find some solace in this article and that maybe you feel less alone in your grief fatigue!Feel free to share in the comments your thoughts and reactions to the article!Until next time, big hugs!

Death and grief are much more “hidden” from society today than they once were. The medicalization of dying means that death now occurs more frequently in hospitals and care facilities than at homes. The secularization of society means that traditional religious or communal rituals surrounding death and mourning have diminished. The fast pace and optimistic lens of consumer culture means less contemplation of aging, mortality, and grief. But Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode, PhD, a professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw and research fellow at Oxford University, argues that experiences of mourning and grief are crucial to the human condition. They allow us to foster empathy and connect with others' suffering. They encourage us to reflect on how we value life, relationships, and the responsibilities we have towards others, both living and deceased. They revitalize communal rituals and practices, creating a sense of shared humanity.Professor Sławkowski-Rode has written widely on the philosophical and ethical dimensions of mourning, grief, and memory, and his works have appeared in The New York Times as well as various academic publications. Over the course of our conversation, we discuss the nature of grief as a multifaceted emotional response, extending beyond a psychological state and reaching into existential realms; the role of memory in the grieving process; why love and grief are fundamentally inseparable; how the atomization of modern society affects our ability to mourn; and more. In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:20 - The focus of Sławkowski-Rode's current work and what his day looks like as a philosopher8:10 - The value of philosophy in society 12:42 - How Sławkowski-Rode became inspired to study grief14:57 - Why grief has become more “hidden” in society over the past century23:49 - How the “cult of individuality” leads our society to ignore aging and death 33:45 - How Sławkowski-Rode defines “human flourishing”36:31 - How the atomization of modern society affects our ability to mourn  50:00 - Practical advices for clinicians on how to navigate grief and mourning for themselves and their patients Mikołaj Sławkowski-Rode is the author of the New York Times op ed It's OK to Never ‘Get Over' Your Grief and numerous academic publications.Dr. Sławkowski-Rode can be found on Twitter/X at @MikolajRode.Works and past episodes discussed:The Hours of Our Death by Philipe AriesEpisode 21: Pain, Pleasure and Finding the Balance | Anna Lembke, MDVisit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are six days away from Easter.   What does Easter mean to you?  Let me ask that another way, what did Easter mean to you before your child left this earth?  And what does Easter mean to you now after your child left this earth.  Because that is the way we walk on this path of child loss, life is divided, into before and after. Nothing is the same as it used to be, and friend, we need something that we can sink our teeth into, so to speak. To have the strength to face tomorrow.  How do we get out of bed in the morning to face the world without our child in it?   My hope and prayer is that you walk away today with a reason to get out of bed. Today we learn what it takes to live again after the death of our child. I pray you stick around to find out, because you will never see Easter the same again after todays episode!

After six long years of constant chemotherapy, painful procedures, many relapses, and a brush with death from the chickenpox virus, Donna MacCleod's daughter Erynne, died of leukemia at age 9. Her love of life, cheerful spirit, and devotion to Jesus inspired many. Being in her presence changed Donna as Erynne was a child of hope. In her early periods of grief, Donna began to write a spiritual companion to help others who were tending to their own grief.  In this week's episode, Andrea and Jennifer sit down with Donna Mac Cleod, author of Season of Hope: Finding Comfort in Your Grief, a Catholic Approach for Small Groups and Individuals (Ave Maria Press).She attributes these journals' existence because of her daughter.  This episode is in memory of Erynne MacCleod, Jacqueline and Angus MacLeod, Sundy and Isabelle Mann.  About the author: Donna is a nurse, bereft mom, Catholic lay leader, bereavement ministry specialist, and author known for her unique Christ-centered program for those who mourn. Her bestselling Seasons of Hope ministry books now have an updated Leader's Guide: Bringing Comfort through Catholic Grief Support and four companion Journals: Finding Comfort in Your Grief (Ave Maria Press). Her writings on grief, loss, and faith also appear in CareNotes, PrayerNotes, and Caring Companions (Abbey Press) and other publications. She holds BA and MA in nursing and has served as an oncology clinical specialist, nurse educator, administrator, and hospice professional. She was on the board of trustees of the former National Catholic Ministry to the Bereaved and is a member of the Catholic Family Life Association.  Donna has spoken about the need for ongoing Catholic grief support at numerous conferences across America and Canada. She consults with ministry leaders interested in Seasons of Hope and offers an Enrichment Webinar Series sponsored Ave Maria Press for facilitators and helpers.

It's a topic that we don't talk much about in outdoor media circles — how to process it, how best to help others who are grieving, etc. And yet, for reasons that are rather painfully obvious to the outdoor community, we clearly need to.TOPICS & TIMES: Why We're Talking about Grief (4:46)Defining Grief (7:34)Why Now?

You might wonder what to say, how to provide support, or if you've been on the receiving end of condolences, perhaps you've felt unsupported or misunderstood.

Tune in to gain insights, empathy, and practical tools for fostering meaningful connections and communication in the face of grief.
