Episode 75: Moving Forward After Unthinkable Loss (Part 1.)

Survived to Thrive Podcast

Grappling with the aftermath of a loved one's suicide is an odyssey that's as personal as it is profound. I've walked through that dark valley myself, and it's from this intimate knowledge that our latest series emerges—Moving forward after unthinkable loss. We kick off with a heart-to-heart about the true nature of grief, moving beyond the myth of predictable stages to paint a picture of an individual journey with its own rhythm and pace. Together, we'll explore what I like to call the 'grief trench,' where sorrow can feel inescapable, and discuss strategies to climb out. Many times as survivors we feel healing seems out of reach even if we find the strength to climb out of this trench because often we find ourselves in a grief plateau, yet it's here that we lay down the groundwork for growth and revival.
Then we pivot to the power of our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves in the face of unchangeable facts. This episode peels back the layers on how our internal narratives can cage us or set us free. I share personal stories and insights that reveal the transformative potential within us to reshape our perspectives. The conversation is designed to arm you with the foundation to take control of the stories born from our circumstances, offering a path to solace and newfound strength. It's a discussion that promises not just to comfort, but to empower—a journey from the depths of despair to the possibility of peace and purpose.
