Grief Without Walls. Finding hope after child loss

When a child transitions before we do we desperately want to know if they are OK. Chris Zeiter - Levi's bonus Dad tasked his son Levi that that question.

Chris tells us all about how he & Levi's Mom Teresa, found how Levi the great skateboarder and snowboarder really is in the realms beyond this one. Like the title of our podcast suggests Levi has found his bliss.

This is deeply moving conversation about a father’s love for his son, the beauty of a Levi life lived and the raw vulnerability of grief when the unimaginable happens. We share moments of tenderness, heartbreak and mystery, including an unexplained Alexa command to play A Tear Becomes a Rose, followed by the Beastie Boys! Perhaps love has its own way of making itself known.

Listen with Chris and I as we explore the many faces of grief, the spiritual beliefs and practices that have held us through our darkest moments, and how, even in the depths of loss, love continues to find expression through the lives we touch and the service we offer others.

Close your eyes, settle comfortably into a chair and come with me in your imagination along a beautiful journey to the upperworld.

We will walk through a wild flower meadow and toward a giant grandmother tree where we journey to the upperworld. Here you can meet some of your family, especially if you have a child or children beyond the veil.

Anni creates a space of respite from grief, beginning with 5 minutes of letting go and surrendering your grief.

Then she talks about making a sacred or special place for you to go to and be with your grief, allowing the flow of emotions rather than resisting. Using a special memory from past photo's to focus on the joy of that memory.

Finally Anni shares how she has created places around her home to remember her son as she walks room to room and how she gathers shells or stones from special new walks to help her think with love as well as in grief.

Anni describes how she learned to surrender to her suffering around 4 months into her deepest grief, to find those sparks of healing. She shared this with Linda and encouraged her to go beyond the suffering and into the grief pain. They bring their examples of healing into the podcast to help you too.

Pain and grief are signposts to our healing, suffering is a place we can become stuck in. It masks our ability to heal.

Linda and Anni are two Mams first and foremost, sharing their experiences to help others. Anni is a transformative coach and author (www.annipoole.com) and Linda is a certified grief coach.
