Grieving well is really important. If we don't grieve well, we're holding onto it, and unresolved grief typically turns into bitterness.
Transitions are a part of life, and this episode of 'Relational Recovery' dives deep into the many changes we face, especially during recovery. Hosted by Wes Thompson and Austin Hill, the conversation is both heartfelt and practical, touching on the emotional rollercoaster that transitions can bring. From the sorrow of losing a loved one to the joy of watching a child graduate, they cover it all.
Austin shares his personal journey as his eldest child prepares for college, highlighting the mixed feelings of pride, fear, and hope that come with such a significant change. The discussion isn't just for those in recovery; it's for anyone navigating life's inevitable shifts. Wes and Austin also explore how to handle these transitions healthily, using a three-step process: acknowledging emotions, practicing compassionate curiosity, and collective problem-solving.
This method, suggested by Austin's friend Kwame Christian, offers a structured way to manage the complex feelings that arise during times of change. They also discuss the importance of community and support systems in maintaining sobriety and emotional well-being. With anecdotes, light humour, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with change, whether big or small. Tune in to gain valuable insights and feel a sense of camaraderie as you navigate your own transitions.
