Understanding Grief: A Heartfelt Conversation with Dr. Joanne Cacciatore

Unless we quell some of that societal fear and help people feel more comfortable being uncomfortable, talking about grief, talking about loss, being able to go to someone's house and pour over photographs and videos of their dead children or their dead parents or their dead partners or husbands or wives, unless we can train people to start helping do this, then we end up in a situation where people internalize those avoidance messages and you get some pretty negative outcomes.
Ever felt overwhelmed by grief and unsure how to cope? In this touching episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, a grief counselor and researcher, to discuss the multifaceted nature of grief. They explore the various forms it can take and the importance of embracing rather than avoiding painful emotions. Dr. Cacciatore highlights how our culture's obsession with happiness often leaves little room for grief, making it even more challenging to navigate.
She shares practical advice on finding emotional support, whether through loved ones or even animals, and stresses the power of simply being present with someone who is grieving. The episode also delves into the need for societal change in how we talk about and handle grief, aiming to reduce the stigma and fear surrounding it. With a blend of empathy and expertise, this conversation offers a comforting guide for anyone grappling with loss or supporting someone through it.
