Healing and Hope through Grief

Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life. The purpose of grief is that’s it’s actually the agent of change and when we allow grief in...when we allow it to come through us...that is when we begin to heal. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of starting this podcast. I am honoured and humbled that you took the time to listen. Thank you.

In this last episode of 2021, I talk about some simple strategies to bring some peace and comfort to you during what can be a difficult time of year. Remember~ Gratitude is the secret sauce of life my friends!

It’s a wrap! My 6 super simple, yet crucial Grief Survival Tips are finally published! I hope that they help you even in the slightest way. I decided to talk a little about my take on Grief and again dispel the notion that there could possibly be stages. Your love and your grief are bigger than any stage could ever be! Wishing you so much hope and healing as you navigate through your grief journey. 💛

The tress will not ask ‘how are you really?’ And the wind doesn’t care if you cry. There is something so truly healing about being somewhere that requires nothing from you. In this short and sweet recording I speak about how nature has healed me and helped me see more vividly. I quote David Kessler’s book - Finding Meaning, where he describes Viktor Frankl’s experience riding in a barred prisoner carriage travelling from Auschwitz to a Barvarian concentration camp. The prisoners all marvel at the glorious view as they drive through the mountains of Salzburg with their summits glowing in the sunset. Getting out in nature can truly change the trajectory of your journey...

This seemingly super simple grief tip ~ MOVE ~ is my most reliable. It is the one thing that I know will induce a feeling of calm and mental well-being. In early grief it is so normal to feel completely drained and exhausted, set your goal small - a short stroll and increase what you do day to day. In whatever ways your body can move, movement does help!
