Grief and Frozen Lasagnas

I was thinking about this particular episode, and I decided that it is time again to talk about helping those who are grieving what that looks like what you can do what you can say what you don't want to say. If you have listened to our show before you know that I do not think giving advice is always helpful to someone who is grieving. I would, however, like to suggest a few ideas for you if you are trying to help someone who is in grief. And please keep in mind, these are suggestions. Everyone experiences grief differently so to say there is only one right way to help is ridiculous.

Layoffs stink. Sometimes you can see it coming. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes it has nothing to do with you or your work ethic. It just happens. It sucks. Especially if you loved your job. It can cause stress, worry, grief and self doubt. Just to name a few things. In this episode we are going to delve into what happens to you mentally, physically and emotionally when you lose your job.

Hi! We strive to share all types of grief on this podcast. Today we are sharing one of my moments in grief. My husband and I share what it was like to date me in the begining. I was a recent widow and on the defense. When we first talked about recording this episode I was a bit nervous but we decided to share both of our views on this topic. I hope you enjoy it.

Some people think about a very special day in their future. They think about what music might be played, what they might wear, who will be invited and such. Maybe there will be a minister. Maybe a poem will be read. There might be flowers. They plan because it is important to them.  It might be because they want it to go smoothly. Or maybe its because they want to create a special moment for their loved ones. Some even hire a planner. I am NOT talking about a wedding. I am talking about end of life planning.  Our guest today is Britna Savarese, death doula.

Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. This episode our guests share their grief when a beloved family pet is missing. The grief compounded by lack of closure or funeral. This has been an emotional time for both friends. Accidents happen sometimes no matter how careful we are. We are going to include Loki's photo and links to help others reunite with their missing fur babies.

Do you ever feel like you are grieving but no one died, you didn’t lose your job, your family and pets are healthy, and you are technically fine. But you feel tired, stressed out, anxious, or maybe just overwhelmed? It could be something called sociopolitical grief.

Grief is something you can’t avoid. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes we grieve something that was not healthy for us. Our guest today shares her experience with grief when they decided to get sober. She is very open and frank when it comes to what it really looked like for her. Maybe you won’t agree with them or maybe you did not have a similar experience. Or mabye you did. Our goal on this show is to show many different views of grief. 

Some of the language and subject matter might be a trigger for those affected by addiction. I just wanted to give you a heads up before we get started.

We share a lot of different grief experiences on our show. Today I want to focus on how grief can manifest in our bodies. I have mentioned before that grief is a tricky little thing sometimes. It can not only take a toll on you mentally, spiritually but physically as well. We also talk about Broken Heart Syndrome. We also have guests Erin Singleton, massage therapist and Chris-James Cognetta, licensed counselor, to help discuss how our bodies react to grief. 

You can find Chris on his website:   https://amindatease.com/
