Brighty's Legacy: Grief, Healing, and the Power of Self-Care
When, as a culture, we have decided to numb out all of our sadness with pills, drugs, alcohol, video games and avoidance, no one has the space to show how they feel anymore... But I don't know that I have pain there because I just numbed it. And as we demonize sadness, that's what we do, because the sadness of loss, the sadness of grief, is that wound.
How do you navigate the deep waters of grief while finding moments of peace? In this heartfelt episode of the Finding Strength Podcast, hosts Matt Quackenbush, Brindy Quackenbush, and Bethany Tenney come together to honor the memory of Brighton Tenney, Bethany's daughter, who passed away due to respiratory complications. January 24th marks Brighty's 3rd Angelversary, a day filled with both sorrow and cherished memories.
Matt offers his compassionate wisdom on how to face grief head-on, reminding us that feeling our sadness is a crucial part of healing. But the episode doesn't stop there. The hosts then shift gears to explore the importance of self-care. They visit True REST Float Spa in Provo, Utah, where they dive into the benefits of float therapy.
