147. Turning Pain Into Purpose After Losing Her Husband To Suicide - Interview With Sissi O'Shaughnessy

Sissi's husband Mark took his own life in May 2020, just 2 months after Sissi lost her mom to cancer.  Sissi had to manage her compound grief plus raise her two young daughters on her own. 

Sissi and I talk about:

~ the guilt she felt after her husband's suicide

~ How you can allow grief to be your only story...or not!

~ how becoming a certified conscious parent taught her to hold space for her kids and their pain

~ How you can practice conscious grieving by doing the work. She recommends exercise, journaling, and meditation!

~ How recognizes what it is exactly that we're grieving can help us heal!

~ how she became a grief educator and now does coaching to help other widows!
