Today's podcast focuses on how our intuition may serve us especially well during times of grief and loss. Our special guest is Betty Kovacs, Hospice and Grief Companion.  

During grief, when feelings can be most strong, we may experience "nudges" or prompts to make particular choices. Betty calls these "God Winks" and shares how she has learned to pay attention to these and how, as a result, her experiences with grief where intermediated by the Divine. With heartfelt intention, we can access serendipitous moments, as well, where we feel the presence of something greater than ourselves at work in the situation. As a Hospice volunteer and Grief Companion, she has witnessed this in others too, sharing wonderful "stories of how the Great Mystery works" from her lifetime of serving the bereaved. 

Dr. Jan and Betty also talk about how we can enhance our intuition which enables us to pay greater attention to the presence of the Sacred in our encounters with death and dying.
