Welcome to part 2 of Moving Forward after Unthinkable loss. Have you ever wondered why we instinctively avoid grief, despite knowing that processing it is crucial for healing? This episode promises to explore the deep-rooted reasons behind our resistance to grief, particularly after the unimaginable loss of a loved one to suicide. We discuss the common avoidance behaviors many of us turn to, such as endless social media scrolling and overeating, and unravel how our human instincts and cultural stigmas play a role in this. By examining the unconscious stories we tell ourselves—like feelings of guilt or inadequacy—we aim to highlight how these narratives often stall our progress.
Join us as Amy Miller, a grief educator and survivor of suicide loss, shares her profound insights and personal journey. She sheds light on the importance of understanding our beliefs about loss and its impact on our lives, and how these perceptions can keep us stuck. This episode also dives into practical techniques to harness the power of our beliefs. Discover how pinpointing your current emotions, making conscious decisions about how you want to feel, and using bridge thinking to introduce more positive thoughts can pave the way for healing. Don't miss Amy's valuable lessons and actionable steps to help you thrive after such a devastating loss.
As always, thanks for listening!
