Summary:
We delve deeper into our connections with those departed. Ada May's casual style allows easy conversation and her candid observations in her communications and interactions with spirits and ghosts - a conversation you will not want to miss.

Episode Notes:
Ada May has been a professional Psychic Medium for over a decade and a half working with individuals both in the United States and abroad.  Having been highly intuitive all of her life, it wasn’t until her mid-thirties that one of those little life altering moments happened and she realized what her abilities were.  This discovery started her quest in learning and studying as much as possible about this intuitive world we all live in, whether we know it or not. Now, twenty years later and nearly a decade and a half of being a professional psychic medium Ada is still impassioned and inspired to help others understand spirit communication, intuition, metaphysical events and more.

Summary:
When we grieve, we often are recipients of platitudes that we perceive as empty, meaningless and sometimes even cruel. Even some blogs or books we turn to for support may seem superficial and unrealistic. Well, Steve Case has written just the book for those wanting the straight, uncensored reality of Grief,  Hardcore Grief Recovery: An Honest Guide to Getting through Grief without the Condolences, Sympathy, and Other BS (F*ck Death; Healing Mental Health Journal for Adults After the Loss of a Loved One). Join us in hearing why this may be exactly what we need as we begin our journey in Grief. NOTE: All expletives (which are few) have been ‘bleeped’ so all may enjoy our conversation.

Episode Notes:
Steve Case has been a commissioned pastor with the United Church of Christ for more than 20 years. This book was born out of the need to create a safe-place for those who get sick and tired of pity and sympathy.

Summary:
The relationship between siblings can often be dynamic and filled with ups and downs. Yet to lose a sibling through death, especially a sudden loss, may lead to unanticipated overwhelming grief that refuses to abate. Listen to our guest, Alyse Oram, as she relates her grief journey that started in 2016 with the loss of a childhood friend, then her younger brother six months later.

Episode Notes:
While Alyse processed her loss, she became aware of the limited resources available to sibling loss specifically and the discomfort she witnessed from others when discussing the topic. While not an expert, Alyse hopes that by sharing her story of loss and grief, she can provide hope and support to others in similar situations. Alyse lives in Maine with her boyfriend and their fur babies, Stella and Harlow.

Summary:
Losing a spouse is devastating, losing two is, for many, incomprehensible. Shifting roles in parenting, maintaining routine for your children, and moving through grief is shared candidly by our guest today, James LaVeck.

Episode Notes:
James LaVeck was widowed twice before he was 48.  He first started writing about his loss and grief in 1997, but it was the death of his second husband in 2014 that prompted him to finally tell his story in Life After Losses. What started as a cathartic experience toward healing has evolved into a passion to help others heal from their loss, and to encourage an individual approach to grief recovery. He plans to follow up his self-help memoir with a second book, entitled Moving Past Grief, being released on November 30, 2021.
