Intro
This chapter delves into the concept of grief and the importance of maintaining connections with loved ones who have passed away. It highlights practices such as letter writing that can help individuals transform their relationships with the deceased, supported by insights into the neuroscience of grief processing.
What if we started seeing grief as a form of trauma—could it help us make sense of the confusing ways our mind and body react to loss?
In this conversation, Debbie sits down with Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a psychotherapist who’s spent her life helping people navigate the heartbreak of loss. She’s here to talk about her new book, Can Anyone Tell Me? Essential Questions About Grief and Loss, and to share her personal and research-based wisdom on this tender subject.
We look into the messy, complicated emotions that grief can bring—like anger, guilt, regret, and anxiety—and Megan offers simple, meaningful ways to cope. We also tackle the bigger picture: why we need more honest conversations about death and how we can show up better for each other in times of loss.
We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful conversation that might just give you a little clarity, hope, and comfort wherever you, or even the loved ones you are supporting, are on your grief journey.
