27: Navigating Grief with My Mum: Coping Tips & Strategies for Healing
Manage episode 363089017 series 3414642
In this touching and deeply personal conversation, join me and my mum as we navigate the complexities of grief and loss.
Drawing from my mum's experiences of losing her mum (my grandmother) and my dad, we discuss the emotions and challenges that come with grief and the importance of allowing ourselves to feel and process those emotions.
We explore the role of music and memory in the healing process and the power of sharing stories and memories with loved ones.
Through our conversation, we offer advice and support for those who may be currently navigating their own grief journey, encouraging listeners to reach out for help and to never give up on finding joy and happiness again.
Ultimately, we remind listeners that grief is a forever journey, but that it can also be a thread of connection that keeps us connected to the love we have for those who have passed on.
