Ask a Death Doula

How to Navigate and Understand the Many Layers of Grief with NYT Bestselling Author Kris Carr


Listen Later

It takes an extremely special person to go from being the poster girl of health/wellness and how to live our best lives to talking about grief.

 

And not just grief we feel when a loved one dies, but grief on all levels and of all kinds.

 

Could the denial of death, and thus the lack of education and information about grief, be the cause of so much depression, anxiety, and even disease in our world today?

 

Many of you may not know, but Kris Carr has been a guiding light, mentor, and supportive presence in my journey of creating Doulagivers Institute. 

 

She is ethical, she is wicked smart, and she keeps everything real with an extra-large side of FUN!!!

 

When she told me she was writing a book about grief, I was so grateful. I know this could not have been an easy choice. I ALSO knew how many people this would invite into this conversation and help.

 

In this episode of the Ask a Death Doula Podcast, I will be talking to Kris about her new book, “I’m Not A Mourning Person.” 

 

In it, she shares what to expect when you’re not expecting your world to fall apart. In true Kris Carr fashion, it’s raw and inspiring but also has joy, humor, and hope too! This book gives readers tips and strategies to move forward and start living again after experiencing loss. 

 

In this episode, we will discuss:

 

  1. How LIFE promises you it all - the positive and the challenging parts of the journey and HOW you navigate through the tough times that makes ALL the difference in that experience.

 

  1. How death awareness can be our greatest teacher about how to live fully.

 

  1. Beautiful, priceless, and sage life lessons from her late father.

 

We will all be touched by grief - all kinds of it - and that does not need to be a terrible thing. It is a great reminder of our humanity and how we are so much more alike than we are different. 

 

Death, Grief, and Love are the great equalizers of the world.

 

Let’s share what we can to support each other through the hard times in the healthiest way possible.

 

Xoxoxo,

Suzanne
