Grief and Frozen Lasagnas

Send us Fan Mail

Sometimes we avoid talking about death, funerals and grief because it’s sad and can be scary. But like it or not we are all going to die. And most likely we are going to lose someone we love. And furthermore, we might have to plan a funeral, service or make decisions for someone that has died. That alone can be a Very heavy task to carry. 

I recently sat down with Kristine Reed General Manager for four prominent Dallas area funeral homes. She was kind enough to talk to us about funerals, funeral home myths and advance planning.
If you would like more information on funerals and advance planning please reach out to Kristine: http://www.dignitymemorial.com/

If you are an artist, an actor, a dancer or performer you might have some sadness when a project comes to an end. As an actor I call it the post show blues. My friend Molly asked if we could talk about this topic on our show. I have invited her as our guest today to discuss this type of grief. She is an actor, writer, director and wellness coach. So we sat down one day this summer to just chat about what it looks like, why we might feel this way and ways we cope with it.

This episode is dedicated to the people out there who dated and married  or are dating someone whose partner or spouse has died. This is looking at grief from a different view point.  Today’s episode features Julie Cox and her story of meeting a widower, falling in love, getting married and starting a family. Our listeners might remember one of our first episodes with her husband Michael Cox. Michael lost his wife Lindy to brain cancer many years ago. After she passed away, he completed a spiritual and life changing 250 mile hike through Spain. In Season 1 episode 5 he shared his story about grief, transformation and finding love again. This episode focuses on Julie’s story of their courtship and love. This couple is quite remarkable and is an excellent example of what having faith looks like.

This episode I will catch you up on where I am now in my grief. My husband died 6 years ago on Thursday, May 3, 2018. It was without a doubt the worst thing that has ever happened to me.  I did not know how I was going to keep going. But it has been 6 years and I have learned a few things. I decided to not drown in my grief but rather use it to help others.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with my friend Jocelyn Tiner and just have a conversation about the grief you feel with a miscarriage, the grief you feel when you can't get pregnant, the grief you feel regarding all the things that come along with this. Sometimes it's hard to get our heads around things that happen to us or things that don't happen to us. These feelings are big and sometimes very difficult to navigate especially when we have outside forces trying to weigh in. You question your thoughts, you wonder why did this happen, is what I am feeling ok? When does it get better? Basically just a constant barrage of stuff going on in your head and in your body. It’s exhausting. And sometimes it is not visible to others. Which makes it even harder.  But you are not alone.  

I also want to include a trigger warning. During this episode we talk about miscarriages and sexual abuse.

You need to grieve. You are sad. You feel lost and evertyhing seems overwhelming but you don't have time to really grieve. Life just keeps throwing out curve balls and you thought you were playing a whole other sport. This episode I talk about losing my dad and the stuff that "interfered" with my grief.

This episode is about understanding our grief during the holidays. Holiday decorations, Christmas trees, menorahs, carols, twinkle lights, commercials on tv, shopping, family traditions. It seems like it is EVERYWHERE starting in October. It is supposed to be this warm loving happy time with your friends and loved ones. But when you have lost someone it can just be a constant reminder that they’re gone. You certainly don’t want to begrudge anyone of their happiness but sometimes you might just feel like the Grinch.

So this week I wanted to just take a moment to reflect on my own grief. How it’s every changing and evolving. We have covered so many different types of grief so far but I think it helps to sometimes just go back and see where we started.
