A Gift For Grief

Ep 3- When Grief Is Layered: Suicide, Dementia, and Finding Light Again.


Listen Later

Grief and loss can often become a driving force for some people to make a positive impact on others. Some people take the pain they've experienced themselves and channel it into something practical, with the hope of helping others who might be going through something similar. Deep grief is undoubtedly one of the most agonizing experiences anyone can endure. Yet, amidst the crushing pain and confusion, there lies an opportunity to transform this darkness into a source of light by helping others who are navigating through similar grief.


After the suicide of a great friend, Dayle founded ‘Our Light Inside’. This service allows people to digitally document information, memories and messages which can then be passed to their loved ones when they die. The idea is for them to gift information to support their families through the loss and grief.


Dayle’s Mum has Lewy Body Dementia which is very fast acting and watching her lose mental and physical abilities showed the need to plan for end of life in addition to post death. To support the expansion of Our Light Inside to cover dying, death, loss and grief, Dayle is also training in 'End Of Life Facilitation'. Dayle has directed the pain of her grief in a practical way by creating ‘Our Light Inside’. This service will help people positively plan their end of life, but you don’t need to wait for a diagnosis or old age – you can sign up now while you are fit and healthy!


We also talk about anticipatory grief and mediumship. Buckle in and enjoy the ride.
