GRIEF AND LIGHT
This space was created for you by someone who gets it – your grief, your foundation-shattering reality, and the question of what the heck do we do with the shattered pieces of life and loss around us.
It’s also for the listener who wants to better understand their grieving person, and perhaps wants to learn how to help.
Now in its fourth season, the Grief and Light podcast features both solo episodes and interviews with first-hand experiencers, authors, and professionals, who shine a light on the spectrum of experiences, feelings, secondary losses, and takeaways.
As a bereaved sister, I share my personal story of the sudden loss of my younger brother, only sibling, one day after we celebrated his 32nd birthday. I also delve into how that loss, trauma, and grief catapulted me into a truth-seeking journey, which ultimately led me to answer "the calling" of creating this space I now call Grief and Light.
Since launching the first episode on March 30, 2023, the Grief and Light podcast and social platforms have evolved into a powerful resource for grief-informed support, including one-on-one grief guidance, monthly grief circles, community, and much more.
With each episode, you can expect open and authentic conversations sharing our truth, and explorations of how to transmute the grief experience into meaning, and even joy.
My hope is to make you feel less alone, and to be a beacon of light and source of information for anyone embarking on this journey.

GRIEF AND LIGHT
Continuing Bonds: Death ends a life, but not a relationship | The evolution of grief
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Grief is such a common experience, and yet we seem to understand so little about it.
For decades, many believe the "stages of grief" are the only way to "recover" from a loss -- a sort of process to complete so you can "go on with life".
The bereaved and grieving know all too well this is not how it actually works.
In this episode, we'll look at the history and evolution of grief over time, and how perhaps the famous "stages of grief" are not what most believe them to be.
You'll learn about the recent evolution in grief support, and about the concept of Continuing Bonds, which emphasizes maintaining a relationship with your loved one who has passed, and finding ways to stay connected, even after death.
Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode full of information and discoveries that may help you navigate this reality with a bit more ease.
