Have you been told grieving the loss of a loved one meant severing ties with them, letting go, and moving on? Religion tells us this- maybe we'll see them later. Materialism tells us they're gone for good.
What if I told you there's another way? In this heartfelt episode, I share my journey with grief and how it led me to discover the Continuing Bonds Model. This approach says our connections with loved ones don't have to end when they pass on. It's been a transformative journey for me, particularly after my daughter Shayna's passing, and I hope sharing it brings comfort and hope to those grappling with their grief.
As we explore the traditional Freudian view of grief and how it contrasts with the Continuing Bonds Model, I share my experiences and learnings about how I've been able to include Shayna in my daily life, communicate with her, and carry her legacy forward. This isn't about rushing through life to 'get to the good stuff'; it's about embracing the present and understanding that our loved ones are still part of our lives, even if in a different way. Whether you're dealing with loss or just curious about alternate approaches to grief and mourning, this episode offers a compassionate, integrative perspective that challenges conventional wisdom.
This deck is a labor of love. It's a 44 card oracle deck that's about connecting you to your loved one in spirit. The deck comes with a companion digital guide that gives you an affirmation, a reflection, and an activity for the day.
