Friendships After Loss: A Conversation with Sheri Erickson
Manage episode 415993240 series 3554885
I met today’s guest, Sheri Erickson, through a mutual friend because we both had stories in our families of tragedy and loss. We struck up a quick friendship, and it amazed me how beautifully she viewed the passing from this life to what is next – and I knew I needed her on the podcast.
Listen in on our conversation as Sheri’s shares stories of loss, we talk about how relationships and friendships change following a loss, and how she is now training to become an end-of-life Doula.
Quote shared by Sheri at the end of today’s episode:
“In one sense there is no death. The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond his [or her] departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you, that spirit looking out of other eyes, talking to you in the familiar things he [or she] touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. He [or she] lives on in your life and in the lives of all others that knew him [or her].” - Angelo Petri
