Welcome to a profound dive into the wild beast that is grief. A multidimensional journey that's anything but straightforward, filled with emotional highs and lows that can leave you feeling as if you're on a rollercoaster. As your hosts, grief coach Jess Lowe and therapist KathyDan Moore, we will guide you through this complex maze, covering everything from the various stages of grief to the unique emotional challenges it presents. From the depths of denial and anger, to the bargaining and acceptance stages, we unlock the different manifestations of each phase, emphasizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to grieving. Determined to look grief in the eye, we delve into the significance of self-care and the importance of granting ourselves grace during this difficult time. We promise, moving forward doesn't equate to leaving your loved one behind. Rather, it's about nurturing yourself and creating a fresh start, all while cherishing the memory of your loved one. Lastly, we tackle the five pitfalls of grief - offering ways to overcome them. We advocate for embracing grief as a way of honoring and commemorating the love for our loved one, even in their absence. It's a heartwarming conversation that anyone grappling with grief should not miss out on. Tune in and let's navigate this journey together.
