For me, being in relationship with grief and being closer to death actually is an opportunity for opening.
Death and grief are topics we often avoid, but Christina Watson believes it's time to change that. In this episode of Dr. Body Mind Soul, Dr. Jude Galea sits down with Christina, a creative facilitator with a rich background in the charity sector, to discuss her unique perspective on death and how society can better handle it. Christina's journey with grief began at a young age when she lost her mom, an experience that profoundly shaped her views on death.
She noticed how uncomfortable people were discussing grief, which sparked her curiosity about societal attitudes toward death. Christina is now on a mission to disrupt the traditional ways we relate to death by creating purposeful peer groups, or 'huddles', where people can share and learn from each other's experiences outside formal institutions. She believes that these community-based groups can offer a more meaningful way to process grief and connect with life's deeper aspects. Dr.

They also touch on the gap between what doctors and the public want in end-of-life care, suggesting that a shift in perspective could lead to more fulfilling lives. The episode delves into the role of creativity and mysticism in understanding death, with Christina sharing her experiences in ceremonies that highlight the sanctity of life. Both Dr.
Jude and Christina agree that reconnecting with our personal and collective spirit is crucial for overcoming societal depression and environmental destruction. This conversation is not just about death; it's about embracing life fully by understanding its inevitable end. If you're ready to rethink your relationship with death and grief, this episode offers a fresh and insightful perspective.
