Listen "002 All Feelings are Valid"
Episode Synopsis
Grief is the human body's natural response to loss. It's the emotional pain you feel when the person you love is taken away. Although we'll all grieve at some point or another, grief is very personal. It's not neat, nor is it linear. It doesn't follow any scripts, deadlines or schedules. You may become angry, cry, withdraw or feel lost. But none of these things are abnormal or wrong; everyone reacts to loss their own way.
In this episode, we'll discuss feelings and reactions to a significant loss, with the goal to help you understand that all your feelings are valid.
What You'll Learn:
Why grief is often chaotic and messy
Physical symptoms of grief
Understanding the shock of losing a loved one
Learning how to find joy during times of grief
How to face the reality of your loss
It's normal to sometimes feel relieved after a loss
Guilt during grief is a normal but unnecessary burden
Trust that your body knows how to grieve
Remember that, although nothing can replace your loved one, you can gradually find a way to continue with life, while remembering the dearly departed with more love than pain.
