We need hugs as humans because we are wired for connection, physically, emotionally and neurologically. Touch is our first language, it releases oxytocin, it can regulate our nervous systems. Hugs can bridge the gap between words and help us feel bonded to others. This podcast is another vulnerable account of a grieving human in search of a feeling not a relationship.

The Hug

Welcome to "Love in the Mourning Podcast"- I'm Kathie and I am a lot. I am a grief educator/coach, speaker, author and widow. But I'm also a grandma, a mom, a friend, sister, daughter, dog mom, cat mom and a lover of life and people. I honour the experience of both life and death. This is a space for raw, real, and necessary conversations about grief, death, and all the sacred things we’re usually too scared to say out loud. Whether you're grieving, curious about what it means to die well, or just tired of tiptoeing around the hard stuff, you're in the right place. I'm so glad you are here. Believe me this will be an unfiltered conversation. We talk about grief, loss, love, planning for death (yes—even the unexpected kind), and finding beauty in the uncomfortable. It’s honest, it’s heartfelt, and sometimes—there’s dark humour, because grief can be brutal and hilarious in the same breath.These are the conversations that help us understand, connect, and live with a little less fear.
