In this week's episode, I speak to Lisa Valentine. Lisa generously shares her experience of loss through losing a loved one as a child and more recently the death of her fiancé and the lessons she learned about how to deal with grief. We talk about how grief and death are often not dealt with in the modern world. We discuss how things may externally appear to look back to normal but that our internal landscapes might still be deep in dealing with our loss. We explore why it can be easier to share grief with strangers rather than family and friends and the importance of communication around death and grief. Listen in as Lisa shares how she wanted to live and experience the things that those she had lost could no longer. We talk about approaching conversations about our deaths and celebrations and also finding love after loss. I hope that this conversation helps you to explore some of these issues further for yourself.
About Lisa:
After being raised Christian family, Lisa has spent the past decade finding her feet in the world of spirituality, spending lots of time connecting with nature, and using herbs, crystals, the moon cycle and tarot in her practice. She is learning to hone her intuition and enjoys meeting others who share her passions. She has experienced loss, most notably through the sudden death of her fiance in 2014 when they were both 30 years old. This changed her views on life forever and provided a new outlook. She is a trainee journalist and spends time writing about feminism, sustainably and social justice.
