Healing Through Grief: Embracing Emotions and Finding Compassion
This is how we survive and go on and we learn and we heal.
Grief is a journey that doesn't follow a straight path, and in this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox, MA, LPC, takes you through the winding roads of loss. Building on last week's discussion, Cox delves into the well-known Kubler-Ross five stages of grief, but with a twist—he emphasizes the non-linear nature of these stages. Whether you're dealing with recent loss or old wounds, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and processing your emotions.
Cox shares a meditation practice designed to create a safe space for these feelings, allowing you to sit with them rather than push them away. He also discusses how acknowledging both anger and compassion can pave the way for healing. Personal anecdotes and professional advice blend seamlessly to provide a comforting guide through the complex landscape of grief. Cox reminds us that acceptance isn't the end of grief; there will be good days and bad days.
But with each breath and each step, you can move forward, creating a new existence while holding space for your emotions. If you're looking for a compassionate, mindful approach to dealing with grief, this episode is a must-listen.
