The Power of Connections

Kate Atwood: Reframing Grief Culture – How losing a loved one at an early age led to a movement of grief advocacy


Listen Later

In this episode, Rich and Kate discuss: 

  • Kate's biggest life lessons since losing her mother
  • What a healthy grieving process looks like
  • The power of connections
  • Belonging is the foundation of a relationship.


Key Takeaways: 

  • The loss of a loved one early in life makes you realize the fragility of life, but sometimes you have to learn to heal from that in order to have healthy relationships and partnerships built on trust.
  • Community and belonging are extremely important in facing grief, especially for kids. All of those emotions should be allowed to be fully expressed by children too, and we can learn so much from it if we provide them with the right environment.
  • Connecting with people is very important - being in an environment where people are willing to share vulnerably and with intention, and where everyone gets a chance to share.
  • We’re not meant to do life alone. Having a sense of belonging is where the magic happens; that's when we feel good about ourselves, how we feel about what we do in the world, and what we are capable of accomplishing.
