Summary:

In this episode, I explore the complex nature of grief through personal experiences I've encountered over the past year or so. I reflect on the multiple deaths/transitions that led me to this point in my journey. I discuss the death of our cat, my grandmother, the challenge of ending a long-term marriage as well as the death of Self. Through these stories, I outline griefs as an integral part of love and personal growth. It's likely my most personal episode to date.

Key Points:

• Grief is part of love
• The loss of a pet is not something to be overlooked
• Being present during a loved one's transition is a deep act of love.
• The end of a marriage is a special kind of grief.
• The death of Self requires powerful internal work and ongoing challenges
• Grief is not something to be avoided; it can be a teacher.
