Coming Back: Conversations On Life After Loss

Holly Worton, host of Business Mindset Podcast, left her husband of ten years and left their shared business less than one year later. I answer a listener question about grief, age, and unfinished business referencing The Grief Recovery Method's concept of "emotional completion." And it's time to get real and raw about the harsh truth of coming back.

Author and personal development coach Stephenie Zamora grappled with anxiety, depression, and PTSD after the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend. A listener asks how they can love and grieve their abusive father simultaneously. And, "Be careful little mouth what you say!" I revisit one of my first YouTube videos about pet loss, attachment, and sheltering our children from the experience of grief: http://bit.ly/2m3TUAm.

Spirituality + grief! Have you heard of inherited grief—grief that literally gets passed down through generations? What do the Black Lives Matter movement, the Trump election, and your childhood have to do with it? Also on the show, I get super-deep with a listener who asks about losing soulmate love. And I talk about a deceptively dangerous practice known as "spiritual bypassing."

After losing her best friend and former fiancé to suicide within three years of each other, Sharon Ehlers overhauled her life and turned Reiki and The Grief Recovery Method®, her most valuable healing tools, into a full-time business that helps others through loss. Talk about fusing the spiritual and the practical! Rituals, dreams, chakras, and more. Also on the show, a LGBTQ listener wants to know how they should interact with their bigoted family at a loved one's funeral. And I talk about a grief phenomenon known as "the aftershock."

"Just keep busy." "Time heals all." "You have to be strong for your family." These are just three of The Grief Recovery Method's Six Grief Myths—phrases that sound helpful, but really aren't. Also on the show, a listener is concerned about others who literally count the days since their loss happened, and I talk about one of the not-so-obvious losses we experience post-grief—our voice.

Grief is WILD! A series of major moves and the breakup of a seven year relationship were trail markers on Iris Rankin's path to personal transformation. We dive deep into the "losses we consciously create"—like moving, breaking up, and choosing to leave our comfortable lives. Also on the show, I'll answer a listener question about turning racing, self-defeating thoughts into self-love and I'll talk about the importance of ritual through the lens of the one year anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

What can we say or do to comfort the grieving? Is "I'm sorry," really enough? A listener asks if it was normal to grieve their father before he actually died. And I give my honest thoughts on a recent New York Times piece about a Canadian man who planned and attended his own wake.

Documentary filmmaker and storyteller Arielle Nóbile was forcibly hospitalized after a post-9/11 mental breakdown. A listener asks how to respond (NICELY!) to the dreaded "How are you?"
