Rachel Pope joins us this week on the podcast. She is the founder of the online community Gifts From Grief and author of the book, Gifts From Grief. She joins us today to share her positive attitude, her insights on grief, some pearls of wisdom, and some practical strategies on how we can cope with grief!

Rachel and I chat about:

~ her experience with grief throughout her life, first losing her dad to cancer, then her brother in a car accident, then her husband to the same bowel cancer that killed her dad.

~ how we distract ourselves from grief and emotions by staying too busy.

~ How her book, Gifts From Grief, was created after she formed her online community.

~ How she discovered the Grief Recovery Method for healing and decided to become certified to help others.

~ How to honor our loved ones

~ How we can know the right things to say to widows and to children who are grieving

~ What are some common "widow myths"

~ How fear of being hurt again stops us from pursuing another relationship
