Grief can be a heavy burden to carry, and this episode of 'Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions' hosted by Michael D. dives deep into coping with loss. Michael discusses how grief is a natural response to losing something or someone significant and how it can manifest in many forms, from the death of a loved one to the loss of a job or even a pet.
He explains that there's no right or wrong way to grieve and no set timeline for healing, making each person's experience unique. Michael shares his personal journey with grief, recounting the emotional rollercoaster he faced after the passing of his grandfather and grandmothers, illustrating how time and faith helped him cope with the pain. He also talks about different types of grief, such as anticipatory and disenfranchised grief, shedding light on how these can affect individuals differently.
The episode is packed with practical advice on managing grief, including acknowledging your pain, seeking support from loved ones, and understanding that healing is a gradual process. Michael also debunks common myths about grief, such as the idea that you need to be strong or that crying is a sign of weakness. Instead, he emphasises the importance of expressing emotions and allowing yourself to grieve in your own way.
This episode offers a compassionate and supportive guide for anyone struggling with loss, providing both personal anecdotes and broader insights to help you navigate your grief journey. So, if you're dealing with loss or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its heartfelt advice and comforting words.
