And the best thing you could do with somebody who has just been told they've got a terminal illness or they've had somebody die, is just sit there and listen and remind them to breathe as well, because you know it's, it's yes...
Grief can be a heavy burden, but you're not alone in carrying it. In this heartfelt episode of 'Friday Night Feels', host Patrick Monette welcomes grief and loss therapist Cait Wotherspoon from Australia. Cait brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing personal stories and practical advice on how to navigate the tumultuous waters of grief and loss.
Whether it's the death of a loved one or another significant loss, Cait's insights are both compassionate and grounded in real-life experiences. Cait delves into the importance of self-care and acknowledging one's feelings during the grieving process. She emphasizes that there's no 'right' way to grieve and that it's okay to feel a range of emotions, from sadness to moments of joy.
Through her own journey with grief, Cait illustrates how storytelling and cultural traditions, like her father's Irish heritage, can be powerful tools for healing and remembering loved ones. The conversation also touches on the broader aspects of mental health, including stress management, anger management, and mindfulness. Cait and Patrick discuss how these practices can support emotional well-being during difficult times.
They also explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on traditional mourning rituals and the necessity of finding new ways to connect and support each other. One of the standout moments in the episode is Cait's introduction of her Gratitude Jar project. This simple yet profound practice encourages people to focus on positive aspects of their lives, even when facing adversity. It's a reminder that amidst the darkness, there can still be light.
If you're looking for compassionate guidance and practical advice on dealing with grief, this episode of 'Friday Night Feels' offers a comforting hand. Cait and Patrick remind us that it's okay to feel however we need to feel and that support is available for those struggling with grief and mental health issues.
