I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned in bereavement is that so many bereaved people think that they're doing grief wrong somehow or another.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the fear of death or the weight of grief? In this episode of 'Breaking the Cycle', Deni Van sits down with Sara Mathews, a seasoned bereavement counsellor, to unpack these heavy emotions. Sara brings years of experience to the table, having led bereavement services and now running her own practice. She stresses that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to handling grief; everyone experiences it in their own unique way.
One of the key takeaways from their chat is the importance of truly listening to someone who is grieving. It's not about offering solutions or turning the conversation towards yourself, but about holding space and affirming their feelings. Sara also talks about the common misconception that there's a 'right' way to grieve, and how many people feel they're doing it wrong.
If you've ever struggled with these feelings or want to better support someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. From understanding grief on a deeper level to exploring the benefits of online counselling, this conversation is both enlightening and comforting.
