I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. Have you ever said these things when someone was grieving, in a crisis or suffered a loss? Or just having a really bad day? Haven't we all? Who grieves? Everyone—regardless of age, race, culture, sexual orientation, ability/disability or economic situation. What is grief? Our mental, physically, emotional and spiritual response to loss, transitions and change. It's experienced in whatever makes our heart ache. Grief and Loss are a part of life. They cannot be avoided forever. And if we learn to take good care of ourselves and each other, we can move through it with less suffering! It's time for change. We can do better. A registered nurse since 1988, Yvonne Heath worked in the United States and Canada in many areas including emergency, chemotherapy, palliative care and hospice. She became disheartened by our society's reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, transitions and end of life—causing excessive suffering. She suffered too, not knowing how to do it differently. In 2015 she blazed a new trail and founded Love Your Life to Death followed by the I Just Showed Up Movement, creating social change. She shares her message with heart and humour as a Consultant, Speaker, with her book, programs and as a television host. In 2019, she delivered her TEDx Talk; “Transforming Our Grief, by Just Showing Up.” When she is not traveling, Yvonne can be found wearing socks and sandals in her happy place in Huntsville, Ontario with her husband, twins and several pets.

Yvonne has been a Registered Nurse since 1988, working in emergency and ICU settings as well as hospice and palliative care.  According to her website LoveYourLifetoDeath, Yvonne  “witnessed our grief-phobic society and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, death, and dying causes excessive suffering in life and at the end of life.”  She channeled her experience, both professional and personal, into an award-winning book and a celebrated TEDx talk.  Empowering people to live life to the fullest and show up for each other to diffuse the fear around death, dying, and grief is at the center of Love Your Life to Death.  As Yvonne would say, the most important thing to do is just show up.  Connect with Love Your Life to Death at loveyourlifetodeath.com.

She believes that when we learn to talk about and plan for grief and life's challenges something amazing happens. We live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our life. Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their grief. Find out more: LoveYourLifetoDeath.com.

Grief is coming to you! If the thought of this scares you, then this is episode is made especially for you. We are all going to grieve the loss of someone we love, something we love or something we are forced to leave behind and the more we talk about it and prepare for it, the less we will have to suffer. That's not to say that when we do grieve it won't be one of the most painful experiences we will ever endure. It just means you will not have to suffer as much or as long. There is so much to talk about when it comes to death and dying and grieving. And that's why I am so excited to talk with Tedx speaker and author Yvonne Heath about her book "Love your Life to Death." She speaks with ease and love and conviction about why you should be talking about death too. ######################################################### To find out more about Yvonne and her mission, message and book, make sure to visit her website: loveyourlifetodeath.com Contact Yvonne at Yvonne@loveyourlifetodeath.com ******************************************************** **Are you ready to step out of your pain and step back in to LIVING your live on purpose, with passion and to make and impact?

We often avoid dealing with a person in grief, not because we don’t care about them, but because we find ourselves inadequate and incapable of consoling them. The truth is, however, we can make a lot of difference by just showing up for that person in their moment of sadness. You don’t have to have to know what to say or what to do; you just have to be there for them and be your own messy self. In this moving and powerful conversation between Gerry Foster and Yvonne Heath, you will learn simple ways to make the grieving experience more bearable, if not an occasion to let love and happiness come in. Yvonne is a transformational keynote speaker, author and founder of Love Your Life to Death, and the #IJustShowedUp movement, where she teaches people of all ages to show up for themselves and others, so they are empowered and resilient when grief arrives.

With 27 years of nursing experience, Yvonne Heath has seen a lot, and not the kind of “a lot” most of us would choose to witness or experience. She’s worked in numerous aspects of health care, including the Emergency Department, ICU, Chemotherapy, Palliative Care, and Hospice.  She has come face-to-face and heart-to-heart with grief, whether with a patient or through supporting their loved ones through some of the most painful moments of hurt and loss.    And not just the painful moments in others’ lives, but in hers, as well. At one point, her teenage son was spiraling into drug addiction, she was raising 4-year-old twins, and working full-time as a Chemo Nurse… For a while she “went steady” with Red-Red Wine, attempting to numb her feelings so she could keep moving.    Inspired by real-life physician, Patch Adams, she decided to offer a different approach, one that allows our humanness – heart and humor –  to come into the room. “We all experience these hard, heavy feelings,” she explains. “Emotion is energy in motion; it has to move through us…” We need to allow those feelings to show up and sit with them; how we move forward in our lives is determined in large part by how to approach and embrace or avoid grief.    What she learned along the way is that we need each other, especially in times of grief. And even when we have no idea what to say or do, we can always “Just Show Up” and be there with people, hold the space for them to experience what we’re experiencing, and love them through it. Eventually, what we need to do or say will become evident… but in the meantime, we let others know that loss – of whatever kind (job, home, health, marriage, loved ones…) – doesn’t need to isolate us as we attempt to navigate our way through.    She shares some signs of grief, as it often comes disguised as something else; part of the armor many of us take on in our attempts to not be vulnerable. She also speaks of the dreaded “polite conversation” many of us engage in when we know someone has been through something traumatic because we’re not sure what to say, and perhaps we’re afraid if we discuss it frankly, it may touch us, as well.   Yvonne’s Bio Yvonne has been a registered nurse since 1988, working in ten different hospitals in the US and Canada in many areas including emergency, intensive care, chemotherapy and hospice.    She became disheartened by our society’s reluctance to talk about, plan, and prepare for grief and life’s challenges—causing excessive suffering in life and at the end of life. She suffered, too, not knowing how to do it differently.    In 2015, she took a leap of faith, left her nursing career and blazed a new trail. By helping us prepare BEFORE, she brings heart and humor to grief, death, and dying. She shares her message as an Inspirational Speaker, with her book Love Your Life to Death, as a television and radio host, and through social media.    In 2019, she delivered her TEDx Talk: Transforming Grief, by Just Showing Up.    Driven by her vision that everyone lives, grieves, and dies well, Yvonne is traveling and helping great organizations along the way.    Connect with Yvonne and other resources:  Yvonne online – Love Your Life to Death Yvonne’s TEDx Talk  www.getreadyforgrief.com www.ijustshowedup.com Patch Adams A Man Called Ove

Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that re-imagines what society considers normal. Every week I interview different guests about the topics they're most passionate about. This weeks episode features Yvonne Heath, author of the book "Love Your Life to Death" and creator of the #IJustShowedUp movement. Yvonne worked as a nurse for 27 years and in that time what she witnessed was how we are a grief phobic society, reluctant to talk about, plan and prepare for grief and death. It was a really interesting conversation about how to better handle grief and how to be there for our loved ones when they are going through it. I admit that death is not really a topic I like to discuss. It gives me an internal anxiety to think about family members, loved ones and even myself passing away. But grief is something we will all have to deal with at some point in our lives and Yvonne is helping make sure that people are better prepared for those moments.

Yvonne defines grief, how to support others that are grieving, and shares her 7 takeaways to navigate through life, grief, and end of life.   In this episode of the Empowering Ability podcast, we have an in-depth conversation on grief with nurse and author, Yvonne Health. In this conversation, Yvonne defines grief, how to support others that are grieving, the difference between quality and quantity of life, and her 7 takeaways to navigate through life, grief, and end of life.  Yvonne is an inspirational Speaker, author of the book ‘Love Your Life to Death’, and a TV and Radio host.   (Note: 25% of 'Love Your Life to Death' book sales purchased through this link go directly to Community Living Ontario)    You can listen to this conversation in its entirety by clicking play on the player below, OR by clicking one of the following links to listen on your favourite podcast player; iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play.   Why Are We Talking About Grief?   YH: “I didn’t choose this, it chose me. Looking back at a 27-year nursing career we don’t talk about grief, we don’t talk about death and dying until it arrives. Then we try and navigate through it. This causes excessive suffering. Grief is a part of our journey, but by avoiding it we are creating excessive suffering.”   Seeing this suffering as a nurse Yvonne had to do something about it, so she took a leap of faith wrote a book about it, and here we are.   As as a nurse, Yvonne became attached to people and she suffered tremendously. She realized this and she became aware of how she was suffering and became curious about it. This led her to have more conversations with other carers.   YH: “I asked fellow caregivers, are we well prepared for grief death and dying? And they said, no. Then I’d have conversations with two people with the same diagnosis of terminal cancer and their families and see drastically different experiences. One family was acknowledging and allowing all feelings - laughing and crying and being open, and being truthful about what was happening. That person died more peacefully and the family navigated through their grief and was able to get through and find happiness again. Then there were other families who were angry and bitter, and demanding more treatments and there weren’t conversations being had. There was no eye contact, I could feel the suffering. I could see this over and over, and I had this inner voice telling me we had to see something different.”     What is Grief?   YH: "Grief is whatever makes your heartache. Often it is death, but it can be divorce, a diagnosis, complications at birth, job loss, not making the team. Grief is a part of our life. Anger is often a very big part of grief, and it can come out."     How Do We Support Someone Experiencing Grief?   YH: “I [we often] don’t know what to do, I [we often] don’t know what to say. We are more comfortable avoiding people when they are grieving. But the most important thing is that we need people to just show up. A hug, a text, an email, sit in silence. Just sit with someone and acknowledge and allow their feelings and not try and fix it. You can’t fix grief, you just have to allow it. We have to get back to allowing our humanness. You are qualified to just show up.”   Quality of Life vs. Quantity of Life.   YH: “What is enough quality of life is enough for one person isn’t acceptable for another person. There is always a treatment that we can do, but the question is should we? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we have the conversation before something happens? The time to have these conversations is not when you are facing life or death situations.”   EG: “We can create a thought experiment for ourselves and think - okay if I got cancer and I was given a prognosis of 2 years to live with intensive treatment that is going to reduce my quality of life for that time, or I could have 6 months to live with a high quality of life. Which would I choose? And, you can do this now from a rational place now, rather than a fear-based place when actually faced with the decision. This decision will likely also change over time as we age, or our life situation changes.”   YH: “These types of situations being made when things happen can fracture families, and create divides that are difficult to repair. Let’s normalize creating an end of life plan. Imagine the suffering that we can alleviate.”   EG: “Only 50% of people have a will. Get your will in order. This is especially important for a family where there is a person with a disability because any transfer of your estate to a person with a disability can drastically impact their social assistance benefits.”     Yvonne’s 7 takeaways to navigate through life, grief, and end of life   1. The Next Best Time is Now! The best time to talk about, plan and prepare for grief is when we are young and healthy.    2. It Takes a Village to support: the ill, the caregiver, the dying, the bereaved and each other.   3. When someone is grieving, Just Show Up!   4. To be empowered, resilient and compassionate, Show Up For Yourself First!   5. Structure Your Life in such a way that you are self-reliant.   6. Find your Post, and hold onto it.   7.

Yvonne Heath has been a registered nurse since 1988 and has worked in the emergency room, intensive care, chemotherapy, hospice and more. Yvonne has personally seen grieving families and loved ones go through a lot and wrote her own book, Love Your Life to Death, about why it’s so important to have the tough end-of-life conversations before you need them. Find out more about Yvonne, the work she does, and the Show Up Movement.  Key Takeaways: [4:30] Who is Yvonne and what does she do?  [7:40] This life is a temporary journey and we have to stop living in fear that it will end one day.  [9:25] You might be okay about the end, but is your family? Do they know what you want? [12:40] Yvonne talks about her Show Up Movement.  [14:00] Grief is hard, but in the face of it, you just have to show up.  [14:55] Rob admits that he had three deaths occur in three weeks. It was awkward and uncomfortable. [18:00] Why did Yvonne decide to write her book? [25:25] Yvonne takes end-of-life healthcare one step further. It’s not just documents that people have  to fill out; it’s about the story they want to tell.  [28:05] Yvonne believes at least once a year you should review/revisit your end of life plan.  [31:05] Ideally, you want to have those tough conversations before you face a crisis or have someone dying.  [32:55] Both Yvonne and Rob have been witness to families taking each other to court to fight over family heirlooms instead of spending that time in grief.  Again, have those tough conversations now before you pass on!  [42:10] We, unfortunately, have not been taught how to grieve.  [44:25] It’s not your job to fix grief, but if you just show up and be there, you can make a difference in someone’s life.  [48:25] What’s next for Yvonne?    Mentioned in This Episode: Giving Back Podcast Loveyourlifetodeath.com Yvonne Health on LinkedIn Email: Info@LoveYourLifetoDeath.com

Yvonne Heath is a wife, mother to three children and a nurse since 1988. She has worked in ten different hospitals. As a registered nurse, she has witnessed a grief phobic society, and how our reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief, death and dying causes excessive suffering personally, professionally in life, and at the end of life. ​She realized that while working as a nurse, she was suffering too. It’s time for change. Yvonne is helping to create this culture of change through her book, her speaking, workshops, social media, radio, television and most recently her “I Just Showed Up” Campaign.​Yvonne believes when we learn to talk about and plan for grief, something amazing happens; we live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our lives.

Yvonne Heath became disheartened by society’s reluctance to talk about, plan and prepare for grief and how it causes excessive suffering, not only at the end of life. Grief is experienced throughout life as a result of many different life experiences which is why people need a way to be more comfortable not only reading about it but dealing with it too. Learning to talk about it is also a critical positive step forward. Suffering at an early age Yvonne worked on herself until she felt ‘it’s time for a change,’ and at the age of 50, took a leap of faith, leaving her long time nursing career to start a new trail to help create a culture of change. Asking herself several questions Yvonne thought, ‘ what if we planned our lives instead of just going through the motions’; what if we learned about grief, before grief happens so we could learn how to diffuse the fear? When we learn to talk about and plan for grief, something amazing happens. We live more fully and we suffer less at the end of our lives. Our loved ones and workplaces suffer less and are able to move through their grief. Yvonne encourages people to go to her Facebook and Twitter pages where they can share their stories. To keep reminding yourself about this very important experience called grief Yvonne created a bracelet that you can get on her I Just Showed Up link or at loveyourlifetodeath.com Grief is a part of life; divorce, diagnosis, job loss and yes…end of life. But we can learn to show up for ourselves, and each other so we are empowered and resilient when grief arrives.

The Conscious Consultant Hour ~ Awakening Humanity ~, Sam welcomes Inspirational Speaker, Author, and TV Host Yvonne Heath . A registered nurse since 1988, Yvonne has worked in Louisiana, Texas, New York State and Ontario. Having experience in obstetrics and emergency to chemotherapy and hospice care, she offers a unique perspective. Disheartened by our death-phobic society and our reluctance to prepare for grief, she chose to blaze a new career path at age 50. Yvonne not only authored her first book, Love Your Life to Death, but also became a passionate speaker, television host, radio guest and workshop facilitator. Her purpose: to empower compassionate professionals and communities to live life to the fullest, learn to grieve and support others and to have “The Talk" about the end of life... long before it arrives. Sam and Yvonne will be discussing about how to take a more conscious approach to death and dying. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-conscious-consultant-hour8505/donations
