Loss is a part of the human condition, and grief can occur around any kind of loss, not just the loss of a loved one. So, why do we have so much difficulty accepting death, even when we know it’s expected from an existing illness, even though we know everyone dies. Why are so many stuck in grief?

Lyn Prashant, PhD is CEO and Founder of Integrative Grief Therapy. In the Art of Degriefing Part 2, Dr. Prashant and I discuss non-death losses and approaches to transform your grief and get unstuck. Again, according to Dr. Prashant, "Love is not the reason we grieve... IT'S ATTACHMENT."

Learn:
• What are non-death losses? How are children and adolescents affected differently than the elderly?
• Your heart knows in addition to feeling. What are embodied losses? How are they experienced in the body?
• Why Life’s temporary existence makes it a constant “catch-and-release” of what was in order to embrace what is.
• Everyone dies. So, why do we go into shock about expected deaths?
• Grief about divorce is really grieving the loss of the fantasy of the marriage
• How do we learn self-care in a world full of loss?
• Solastalgia – How global grief exacerbates personal loss/grief?
• How the energy of chronic, negative thoughts and feelings including grief becomes physical illness?
• A variety of approaches to transform your grief including: integrative mind-body therapies, self-skillful questioning, self-compassion, and self-care.
• Elisabeth Kubler Ross’ 5 Stages of grief is for people confronting their own mortality, not loved one’s mortality
