The knowledge that he was gone and wasn't coming back makes sense. You intellectually know what happened, but your brain is so used to predicting that it should be the way that it was, that your brain needs time to update so that it makes accurate predictions.
What if you could turn your deepest sorrow into a source of strength? In this moving episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea chats with Krista St-Germain, a grief expert and Master Certified Life Coach. Krista's life took a devastating turn when her husband was killed by a drunk driver in 2016. Now, she dedicates her life to helping widows not just survive, but thrive after such a profound loss.
Krista breaks down common myths about grief, like the Five Stages of Grief, and explains how grief can stem from any perceived loss, leading to what she calls 'death by a thousand paper cuts'. She introduces listeners to somatic techniques like tapping and yoga, which can be powerful tools for releasing grief stored in the body. Through her own story of post-traumatic growth, Krista shows how even the most intense hardships can lead to incredible personal strength.
Her insights are not just theoretical; they come from her own lived experience of navigating the complexities of grief and finding a path to healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with loss or supporting someone who is. It offers valuable perspectives on the grieving process and practical advice for finding growth and healing in the wake of profound loss.
