E9 Kelly Daugherty & her book The Grief Experience
Manage episode 425161316 series 3570641
Tom & Kelly discuss Kelly's new book called The Grief Experience.
Kelly Daugherty, a seasoned social worker with over two decades in the clinical field, is a Fellow in Thanatology: the study of death, dying, and bereavement. Anchored in Malta, NY, she owns Greater Life Grief Counseling and the Center for Informed Grief, LLC. Her commitment to the domain of grief stems from her personal journey, which began with her mother's death from breast cancer during her teenage years. This significant loss led Kelly to volunteer with a Hospice Children's Bereavement program and set the foundation for her career. Every day, Kelly finds purpose in her grief by helping both individuals navigate the complexities of grief and professionals aiming to understand it better.
Determined to revolutionize how grief support is provided, Kelly offers a wealth of tools and insights to those grappling with the death of loved ones and to the professionals dedicated to helping them. The Center for Informed Grief aims to create a more grief-informed society by benefiting individuals, families, schools, and broader communities. Through comprehensive training for educators and therapists, consultation with schools, online courses, and active social media communities, Kelly ensures that nobody faces their grief journey in solitude.
Kelly also co-owns Healing Strides, LLC, which blends emotional and physical well-being. This culminates in a unique seven-week program that pairs therapeutic grief groups with 5K race training for women. The program aims to foster improved coping, emotional well-being, and physical fitness, leading to a richer sense of personal growth and meaning-making.
Outside of her professional life, Kelly cherishes time spent with her husband, Kevin, their pup Benny and her seven nieces and nephews. She also enjoys DIY art projects, walking, and running, and loves visits to Zoos, the beach, and Disney World.
