Listen "Embracing Life Amidst Grief: Pattern Interrupts and Healing"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Episode 114 of "Journey from Grief to Healing" with Dr. Ray Calabrese. In this episode, Dr. Ray shares his personal journey of healing after the loss of his wife, Babe, and explores the concept of pattern interrupts to cope with emotional trauma.
Dr. Ray reflects on the notion that it takes a year of grieving for every three years of a relationship, and how this insight has helped him understand his own behaviors and emotions over the past eight years. He emphasizes that healing from grief is a unique process for everyone, and it's crucial to continue living life despite the lingering pain.
Using metaphors like paddling a canoe and drawing inspiration from poets Wendell Berry and William Davies, Dr. Ray encourages listeners to embrace life fully, interrupt negative thought patterns, and find joy in everyday moments. He concludes with a call to action: break free from the grip of sadness, cherish the gift of life, and remain hopeful for the future.
