Listen Later

Claire Bidwell Smith, licensed therapist and bestselling author of Conscious Grieving, joins me to share practical ways to navigate grief and loss. With years of experience in hospice, private practice, and her own personal story of loss, Claire offers compassionate, step-by-step guidance for anyone struggling to process death and change.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How to face grief instead of avoiding it

  • Practical exercises from her book Conscious Grieving

  • The role of therapy, writing, and ritual in healing

  • Why grief is not something to “get over,” but something to grow through

  • If you’re looking for actionable tools, emotional support, and real conversation around grief, this episode will leave you with clarity and hope.

    ABOUT:

    DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh. ⁠
