We are not taught to deal with grief, are we?

Whether it is our own, or witnessing someone else’s grief.

This episode will share:

• How to understand your grief.

• How to understand another’s grief.

• The many ways grief shows up in our lives.

• The difference between venting and grieving.

• How grief happens within relationships with others.

• Releasing what was lost within ourselves to move on.

• How to witness and be with your own grief.

• How one loss awakens old losses.

The experience of grief can be hard to talk about, whether witnessing another’s grief or experiencing it yourself.

Imagine grief is like an energetic backpack full of boulders, and pebbles and rocks.

When we lose someone, we may go through the Stages of Grief, yet still not feel at peace. I myself have experienced this, and a familiar phrase entered my head.

You should be over this by now.

That is the mind talking. Not the heart.

Lisa shares how her pain informs a more purposeful path.

And we do not have to lose someone to death to feel grief.

Marriages do not turn out as expected, relationships with children or siblings may not be what was expected. There are many types of grief.

Lisa shares how forgiveness can help with grief. That to forgive does not condone any wrong doing. Forgiveness can honor personal loss within the relationship.

“For that relationship lives within you.”

That was the AHA moment for me in this interview.

Relationships live within US.

She advises us all to allow your experience without judgement.
Grief needs to be validated, and witnessed.
Grief is about love and honor. It is for the person that you lost.

And for you.

Honor what you lost, the hopes and dreams that died within you.
