Hope’s Role in Grief with Jill McMahon

In this episode, Mathew Blades and grief counselor Jill McMahon explore the complex relationship between hope, trust, and the grieving process. Drawing from Jill McMahon’s expertise in working with those experiencing catastrophic loss and trauma, the conversation unpacks why hope can sometimes feel out of reach or even anxiety-producing in the aftermath of tragedy.

They discuss why well-meaning platitudes often miss the mark, how trauma neurologically disrupts our sense of safety, and the importance of simply showing up rather than “fixing” someone’s pain.

This episode is a compassionate guide for anyone navigating loss or seeking to better understand and support loved ones in grief.
