Welcome to Episode 72 of Dr. Ray Calabrese's podcast, 'Journey from Grief to Healing.' This episode dives into the difficult journey of grappling with the emotional and physical upheavals that accompany grief, especially when it becomes a 'new normal.' Through perseverance, Dr. Calabrese insists that amidst the suffering and stumbling, hope remains alive, offering the promise of better times ahead.
This episode encourages listeners to change their perception from 'Will I ever get better?' to 'How do I get better?' Taking personal experiences like his arthritic hips and subsequent hip replacements, Dr. Calabrese compares this physical healing process to that of emotional grief. The journey may be painful, with many challenges along the way, but it's all about making the decision to live, affirming the will to life, and choosing to take actions forward.
Dr. Calabrese emphasizes that choosing to heal doesn't instantly alleviate pain, rather it's a gradual process that requires initiative and efforts. Highlighting the significance of scars, he affirms them as reminders of the struggles overcome and symbol of endurance and survival. Episode 72 communicates that whilst grief may leave scars, it's crucial to honor them but to also decide not to let them define our lives.
This episode empowers listeners to embrace their past, honor their healing process and scars, and to choose to heal and live. Through emotional resilience, courage, and the will to survive, it emphasizes that good things are coming and encourages listeners to stay hopeful and strong, to cross the bridge built by their desire to heal and to face life head-on.
