In this emotional episode of Grace & Grind, host Dr. Pamala and guest Maisha Beard, founder of The Maisha Experience, share their raw and real experiences of losing their mothers. 💔 Together, they unpack the complexities of grief, from the physical toll it takes to the ways it reshapes our daily lives.

Tune in for a heartfelt discussion about the importance of expressing emotions, avoiding harmful clichés, and finding the strength to thrive even in the midst of grief. 🖤

Key Takeaways:
  • Understanding Grief: Grief is not a destination, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Each person's journey is unique, and it's essential to allow oneself to feel and express emotions authentically.
  • Physiological Impacts: Grief can manifest physically, affecting one's memory, energy levels, and causing hair loss, chronic pain, and other health issues.
  • Expressing Emotions: Authentic expression of emotions, whether it's crying, talking about the loved one, or engaging in self-care practices, is crucial for healing.
  • Support Systems: The importance of a supportive network that offers patience and empathy, rather than quick fixes or clichés, is highlighted as vital for those in mourning.
  • Mom's Eternal Presence: Memories and small gestures can keep the spirit of a loved one alive, providing comfort and motivation to continue thriving.
