93. Grief Sucks: Navigating Grief and Loss with Insights from Grief Specialist Marna Brickman


Listen Later

Grief Sucks. Period. 

 

Grief is messy, cumulative and does not have an expiration date. The most important thing to heal from grief is taking care of yourself and knowing that there's no right or wrong way to grieve. Therapy and other healing practices may help with emotional wellness.

 

In this episode, Maria and Tara are joined by Marna Brickman, a licensed clinical social worker, grief specialist, and co-owner of Guiding Therapy, a mental health practice located in Annapolis, MD. Marna was a previous speaker at Maria’s Emotional Fitness Studio Classes: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/.

 

They discuss various types of grief, including the loss of loved ones, health, jobs, pets, and even the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and how these impact mental health. Oftentimes, grief is not talked about openly so many people do not think it is normal to feel – we are here to reframe that. 

 

Marna shares her work on how she is working to normalize talking about grief and all the feelings that come with it. If you are experiencing grief, please know that you do not need to do it alone. Reach out to Marna if you need support in Maryland, or reach out to a therapist in your area. 

 

In this episode:

 

  • How to respond to grief 
  • Your feelings when it comes to grief are all valid - Grief is messy and does not have an expiration date
  • Marna’s true opinion on grief
  • How to reframe the thought of grief to “how lucky am I to have loved so deeply.. ”
  • How to find help and resources to heal from grief - from Annapolis, MD to worldwide.
