What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality

Ep. 153 When Grief Comes Back Like a Volcano: The Second Wave


Listen Later

In this episode I share my experience of having grief return to me in a sudden, unexpected wave like a long-dormant volcano erupting. This event is the subject of my new book Wild and Holy, which is launching on Kickstarter this week. This episode includes:

  • What is the second wave of grief and why does it happen
  • How hidden grief may return when we are strong enough to navigate it
  • How grief and guilt can be stored in the physical body and somatic therapies may be needed
  • How society exerts pressure to move on from grief and adds to shame and guilt over prolonge or recurrent grief
  • How to navigate your own second wave of grief
