How do we find hope and joy again after a devastating loss? Will I ever be happy again? Yes you will just not quickly and not necessarily from resources outside of yourself. Conventional wisdom and feedback to grievers can center around people telling us what we should be doing/feeling, not how to attain this. The answers often lie within us. We know that trauma and grief force us to change but we have the power to control how we change. Ken and Rachel discuss the process in this episode. https://thegriefgal.com/ Enjoy this episode?

The grief market may have a number of resources, guides and/or supports for the death of a spouse or parent. What about when your sibling dies? There are scant if any resources available. Annie discovered this after her brother was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. In fact, much of what is available is how siblings can care for their grieving parent. Feedback, that can be minimizing, is what siblings need to do, not how they feel. The lack of understanding and attention to sibling loss inspired Annie to write her book; Always A Sibling; the Forgotten Mourners Guide to Grief. For anyone who has lost a sibling this book is a valuable resource. Enjoy this episode? Please give us a 5-star rating and share with someone who could benefit.

Ken has been working with grievers for close to 30 years and what he has consistently heard from them, be they children or elderly, are things people say that are just not helpful. Granted as a society we are “grief averse” which often makes conversations around supporting grievers an awkward one. It doesn’t have to be this way. In this episode Ken lays out words and phrases that are conversations enders, offensive, or simply not supportive. In its place he substitutes conversation starters, words to engage and acknowledge loss that can increase our connectedness during vulnerable times. Enjoy this episode?

The concept of mindfulness is discussed liberally in our culture. We may have a notion that mindfulness can help us feel calm, relaxed and at peace. While this all can be true, mindfulness is really centered on sitting with whatever arises in the present moment. Here is where mindfulness is such a helpful practice for grievers. What arises is not always pleasant, we may have upsetting thoughts. However, these thoughts could be the pathway towards feeling more peaceful. With mindfulness practice we are acknowledging, not avoiding, or minimizing, our pain. In this manner we engage and learn to manage grief. Ken and Ariel dive deep into mindfulness and the benefits of “practice”. https://dr-arielbotta.com/ -- Enjoy this episode? Please give us a 5-star rating and share with someone who could benefit.
