In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, your host, Donna Ferris, guides you through a heartfelt meditation focused on cherishing happy memories of lost loved ones. This meditation aims to support those on a grief journey by utilizing the powerful tool of positive reminiscence.

Research shows that recalling joyful memories can significantly improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance psychological well-being. By immersing yourself in these happy moments, you can find comfort and strength to cope with the pain of loss.

This meditation is designed to complement professional support, offering you a moment of solace and connection. It is one of a dozen that accompany Donna Y. Ferris' book Bounce Back Stronger—Finding Peace and Purpose No Matter What Happens (available here).
