The Grief Coach

In Episode 7, host @BrookeLJames brings on Adam Rabinovitch, Executive Director of The Cope Foundation (@Copefoundation.camperinnyc), and he discusses how his own experience with childhood grief drew him to the work he does today. The Cope Foundation provides support services for bereaved parents and children who have lost a child or sibling, respectively. We talk about how children grieve at different developmental stages, how to talk to them about what is happening, and suggestions for including them in the grieving process.

In episode 6 host @brookeljames reflects on her dad's birthday (Dec 22) and the holidays, grieving places and old traditions, how to make new traditions, how to honor grief, and how she got through the holiday season.

In this episode of The Grief Coach, host @brookeljames talks about four very important pieces of paperwork: power of attorney, health care proxy, living will and last will & testament. We all know that these are important, but so many of us have a difficult time talking to loved ones about what these documents contain and where the signed originals are kept. If you don't have them and know what's in them, it's an unnecessary variable in a very stressful time in your life. 

The timing of this episode is such to encourage you to have conversations about these documents before you spend time with your loved ones over the holidays. If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected] or DM @the_griefcoach.

In this episode of The Grief Coach host @brookeLjames brings on the show's first guest, Hannah, to talk about how to support a partner through a loss. Hannah's now-husband lost his father suddenly six months before they got married. We discuss how to balance two different styles of grieving, how they chose to honor his memory at their wedding, and if it's ever possible to experience uninterrupted happiness again after a monumental loss.

Please note there is a minor audio issue in the last minute and a half. I thought that Hannah's advice was great which is why I didn't cut it.

In episode 2 of The Grief Coach host, @brookeljames talks about grief on social media. Why do people grieve on social media? What should you consider before posting about a death on social media? How do you shut down a loved one's social media? And what the hell is going on with the memories algorithm?
