Ginny Gay is a certified mindfulness and meditation teacher who helps people become more aware of and work skillfully with their thoughts, their emotions and experiences. Brandy is a grand consultant who helps organizations create safe spaces for people to share their truth so that they can create change and welcome everyone. The book When Death Becomes Air by Paul Callan resonates with Ginny in two ways: She saw herself in a way she had never really felt before; I also had the inverse of this which is that when someone dies, we also occupy a new identity.
After the loss of someone we love, we’re inevitably faced with the question, “How do I live with this grief?” In this episode of “Something to Normalize,” Ginny and Brandi offer some answers to this question. Through research and personal experiences with grief, they share strategies, powerful bits of wisdom, and practical tools they’ve discovered.
