Listen Later

Sarah Davis is a Podcast Producer and the host of Breathing Wind, a podcast about parent loss, change, and healing. Sarah is also a Writer and Learning Experience Designer. Sarah shares her grief journey on this week’s podcast and why it’s so painful when you have to re-find your community and your friends again. She also shares tips on how to overcome your own grief on this week’s show. 

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Sarah shares her grief story and how she lost her father.
  • After losing her father, Sarah discovered the power of community and explored who she was as a person. 
  • When you're going through the awfulness of grief, you find out who your real friends are.
  • The loss of her father brought her back to a place where she was 13 again and she was a different version of herself. Very introverted, shy, quiet and a lonely person who likes to read.
  • It helps to connect with other people. When you’re connected to a community, you begin to feel the love, encouragement and support.
  • You cannot think your way out of grief. You need to feel it.
  • How do you move on from this grief journey?
  • Find the things that work for you. What may work for you today may not work for you next week and that's okay.
  • The good news is, more people experience growth out of loss than they do stress and pain.
  • When you grieve, you become one of the real people. You reach a new level of authenticity.
  • When you have the ability to create, you are able to put your grief outside of yourself.
