The Grief of Not Knowing Your Strengths and Values

July 18, 2023 08:00 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Grief puts this veil over your face. When you're bogged down emotionally, it can feel like a chore to make it through the day, much less connect emotionally with others (or yourself). Once you address the emotional weight, little by little, you see potential where you saw heartbreak. You feel connection where you once felt disconnected. And you recognize the only limits placed on yourself, or others are those imposed by the mind. *This episode is connected to...

Q&A | My Son's Death is the Elephant in the Room

July 04, 2023 08:00 - 16 minutes - 7.49 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Today's Q&A is a great reminder for all of us that we express our grief differently and in our own timing. However, when emotions run high, and the loss seems unbearable, as is often the case with child loss, more grief will often add to the pain and heartbreak within family dynamics. We must remember that 75% of how we respond to life's challenges is learned by age three. By age fifteen, we've learned the remaining 25% of how to respond to life's challenges....

Q&A | The Grief of a Midlife Crisis

June 20, 2023 08:00 - 26 minutes - 12.4 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Did you know that the term "midlife crisis" was coined by Elliot Jacques, a psychoanalyst who came up with the term in 1965 after noticing significant changes in one of his middle-aged clients? A lot has changed since 1965; the way we eat, how we eat, what we drive, societal views about marriage and children, etc. It's as if Mr. Jacques saw the writing on the wall back then. Fast-forward fifty-eight years, and the "midlife crisis" has become, in some respects...

Laurie-Ann Murabito | An Eternal Optimist

May 23, 2023 08:00 - 52 minutes - 24.1 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Being an eternal optimist means always looking on the bright side and having hope, no matter what obstacles might attempt to push you off your path. Some people may not necessarily be eternal optimists. However, they've become incredibly good at reframing a challenging situation for the better. I would say I am more of a "reframing" type. However, this week's guest, Laurie-Ann, can remember being an eternal optimist since she was a little girl. And as I dug...

May 16, 2023 08:00 - 15 minutes - 7.26 MB

Send Victoria a text message! May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Taking mental health seriously and prioritizing it is the job of the individual. Even if you find yourself in a situation where you are forced to prioritize your mental health, that doesn't necessarily equate to successful results. The effort you make, along with your intention, will create positive outcomes. We can allow ourselves to become bogged down by grief in our lives, or we can take small, actionable steps every...

Q&A | How Can I Best Help My Child In Their Grief?

May 09, 2023 08:00 - 16 minutes - 7.8 MB

Send Victoria a text message! When tragedy strikes or challenging times knock on a family's door, the children involved can feel cast aside or as if they are an afterthought while the adults are experiencing their emotional crisis. However, it doesn't have to be that way. As adults become more knowledgeable about grief, learning new tools and new information, beliefs about grief and how to respond to it can change, too. As children's adult caretakers/caregivers connect to their own grief ...

April 18, 2023 08:00 - 10 minutes - 4.94 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Many grief terms have come about to describe grief:  abbreviated absent anticipatory chronic collective complicated distorted  disenfranchised inhibited delayed masked normal The American Psychological Association describes complicated grief as grief that seems to deviate from what’s expected, interfering with the ability to function.

March 21, 2023 08:00 - 10 minutes - 4.74 MB

However, what feels more accurate, and what would be a more helpful expression of what those left behind genuinely desire? Listen to this quick Q&A on closure and discover why it's unhelpful and what would be a more accurate goal to aim for when grieving.

Q&A | Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

February 28, 2023 09:00 - 9 minutes - 4.52 MB

Send Victoria a text message! The question on today's podcast is one I have heard a lot and one I've also asked myself if I'm being honest. It's normal and natural to ask ourselves questions like this, and it doesn't mean that you mean any ill will towards others. It also doesn't mean other people are "bad"; bad things should happen to them instead. I see this question as an expression of trying to make sense of tragedy or challenges. When looking at outside circumstances, when you see ...

Send Victoria a text message! In this first Q&A episode, Ruth asks why she's struggling more with her spouse's death than the death of her parents. In my response, I share a perspective you may find helpful when considering your losses.

Takeaways & Reflections | Grief Over Family Dynamics

December 27, 2022 09:00 - 26 minutes - 12 MB

Send Victoria a text message! What does family mean to you? Who makes up your family? Not only those you claim by blood but those you choose, who show up when life throws curveballs? There are reasons to grieve family; the family you wish you had and even the family you may wish you didn't have, too. We can't choose our family, but we have a say in their role in our lives. And, when a family is made up of less-than-loving relationships, we can even choose to fill the needs of our hearts...

He also shares the impact of having a small nuclear family and missing out on a larger, extended family communit...

Genesis Amaris Kemp | Caregiving, Covid, and Corporate Grief

December 13, 2022 09:00 - 40 minutes - 18.7 MB

Send Victoria a text message! Grief is cumulative, and it's cumulatively negative. Every loss we experience stacks on top of those before it. For Genesis Amaris Kemp, attending funerals started becoming a regular occurrence. Add the loss of loved ones before the Covid pandemic (and during) to the loss of a job during the same timeframe, and it can be challenging to find solid footing. Additionally, learning, for the first time, how to advocate for a parent in the healthcare system posed its...

Send Victoria a text message! We are all going to die. However, none of us know when, although some may know how (as with a terminal illness). One thing we can do for ourselves and our loved ones, not knowing when our last day will come, is to prepare for it. We will spare our loved ones from making many complex (and conflicting) decisions. You can be your own hero and that of your loved ones by taking ownership of your life as you're living and in death. Being your own hero means that ...

Send Victoria a text message! What do you want to happen if you are incapacitated while on your deathbed or after you die? If you don't have a will, that decision may be left up to the state.  These are big questions that often don't have answers for those who are left behind. In the most emotional moments, the family is left to make decisions that weren't theirs. Each of us has a responsibility, not only to ourselves but those who would be left behind, to address our matters before those...

Takeaways & Reflections | Spiritually Challenged: Releasing Anger & the Story

October 25, 2022 08:00 - 35 minutes - 16.3 MB

Send Victoria a text message! There are two camps of grievers; those who talk about their grief and share their stories and those who keep their grief and stories hidden. Regardless of the camp, you find yourself in, there is one common denominator that is often present with most, if not all, grievers - anger. There is a caveat to sharing your story, though. As we look for meaning in our experiences, including those that cause us grief, we can find ourselves repeating the story without e...

Send Victoria a text message! They say it's unnatural to lose a child. And, there's no word for a parent who has lost a child other than griever, which somehow doesn't embody all a parent experiences—much less childless parents. What is a word for a parent whose only child dies? As it turns out, there's maybe only one that might describe that inconsolable feeling - lost.  Phil found himself lost in an ocean of tears after his only son, Perry, 14 1/2 years old, and his friend became vi...

Martika Whylly | Learning How to Grieve with Ease

September 06, 2022 08:00 - 57 minutes - 26.3 MB

Send Victoria a text message! They say it's unnatural for a parent to outlive and bury a child. Likewise, it's not natural for a child to bury their parent. There is no hierarchy of loss. We all grieve at 100%, and there are no half-grievers. Therefore, all losses are felt at 100%, too. So, who's to say what loss is worse than the next? However, for a moment, put yourself in the shoes of a child who buries a parent. Often, there's another parent in the wings to comfort and console the chil...

Send Victoria a text message! In the grief recovery programs, one way we describe grief is that it is the loss of hopes, dreams, and expectations. This description of grief, in this way, has not been better understood by society as a whole more than it has since 2020 with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. As society begins to emerge from the darkness Covid brought to so many lives, we start to see ourselves and others in a new light. We have started to see the impact of the past two yea...
