Complex emotions and experiences are a part of grief and loss. Whether you are in the midst of grieving or supporting a loved one through their journey, finding healing and peace during this difficult time is crucial.

In this episode, I discuss the complex internal roadmaps of grief and examine how it does not follow any one predictable path. Grief needs space and time to be integrated and it can show up unexpectedly. To prepare for events likely to bring grief to the surface, I talk about the importance of journaling and paying attention to important milestones, not just the day of death.

I also explore the five stages of grief, finding meaning in grief, and allowing yourself to experience and express your emotions fully, with the goal of helping listeners find healing and peace during a challenging time.
