Facing Grief Head-On: Finding Strength Without Alcohol

Grief is a natural human emotion and one we often repress culturally and societally because we don’t know how to talk to each other about it or ask for help. We all know how to grieve and mourn. It’s within us all. And that’s why this episode is so important.
Grief is one of those emotions that can hit you like a freight train, leaving you feeling lost and overwhelmed. In this episode, Lee Davy sits down with Lisa Dinhofer, also known as 'The Crisis Tamer', to discuss the complexities of grief and how it often leads people to unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol.
Lisa, a certified thanatologist and trauma specialist, brings her wealth of experience to the table, sharing practical advice on how to navigate the stormy seas of loss without reaching for the bottle. Lisa’s insights are particularly valuable for anyone grappling with the loss of a loved one, a pet, or even the end of a significant relationship. She explains that while grief is a universal experience, our culture often encourages us to suppress these feelings rather than confront them.
This can lead to a cycle of emotional repression and unhealthy habits. But Lisa believes that everyone has the innate ability to grieve and mourn in a healthy way. Throughout their conversation, Lee and Lisa delve into various aspects of grief, including anticipatory grief and the different ways it can manifest. They emphasize the importance of emotional regulation and seeking support during these tough times.
Lisa also shares tips on how to support loved ones who are grieving, stressing that showing emotion and asking for help are crucial steps in the healing process. This episode is a treasure trove of information for anyone struggling with grief or supporting someone who is. It's not just about surviving loss; it's about finding strength and resilience without turning to alcohol or other harmful behaviors.
So, if you're ready to face your grief head-on and learn healthier ways to cope, this episode is a must-listen.
