Listen Later

Anne DeButte is a respected and empathetic grief coach, author, and podcast host. She has made significant contributions to the field of grief counseling through her comprehensive approach to helping people navigate through their unique grief journeys. Her book, Grief's Abyss: Finding Your Pathway to Peace, encapsulates her insights on the impact of grief and offers practical advice for those who are navigating this challenging life experience. In this episode, she guides people through their healing process by debunking myths, offering strategies for coping, and emphasizing the importance of support and internal work. 


  • Contrary to the adage, time does not heal all wounds. As such, distracting yourself from grieving a loss by filling your schedule may not always be beneficial. The grief journey varies greatly among individuals and rushing the process may only delay true healing.
  • Grief affects individuals mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Healing requires internal work, such as understanding your stress levels, acknowledging and expressing emotions, and seeking help when necessary.
  • Isolation during grieving periods can be harmful. It's vital to seek support from friends, professionals, or community groups, especially those who can empathize with the experience of loss. This support is not just for advice, but more crucially, for understanding and companionship through a difficult time.
  • Strategies like meditation, journaling, and breath work have been proven to help with the acute pain of grief. Incorporating them into your routine as daily activities may help you get through the day.
