Facing Grief and Embracing Sobriety with Sharon Paul and Mockingbird Spirits
I think really being able to stay connected is really important, isn't it, rather than retreating and just, you know, taking a bottle with you? And also that you know there's a great loss and a grief when your identity changes from not drinking, from being you know drinking to not drinking.
Grief is a heavy burden that can lead many to seek solace in alcohol, but what if there was a healthier way to cope? In this episode of 'Alcohol Free Life', Janey Lee Grace sits down with grief counsellor and soul midwife, Sharon Paul, to discuss the intricate link between grief and excessive drinking. Sharon shares heartfelt advice on managing grief and taking control of end-of-life plans with dignity and respect.
