Grief is a Sneaky Bitch Krissy Teegerstrom | A Grief Journey Delayed
In today’s episode, I was joined by Krissy Teegerstrom, an Austin-based artist and creative consultant at Featherweight Studio, and podcast host of Beyond and Back Podcast.
Krissy bravely explores how her father’s death due to addiction when she was 11, a condition her family never discussed, profoundly impacted her life. She reveals how her mother’s insistence on not talking about it, virtually removing traces of his existence from their home, taught her some damaging lessons about love, grief and loss. Krissy illuminates what her grief work has looked like, a journey she says she only began a few years ago, nearly 3 decades after her father’s death.
She explores the power of a good question to break open the embodied trauma she had been carrying around since childhood. Krissy reflects honestly and openly about the various paths she has traveled to find healing. She is putting into practice a commitment she made recently on her healing journey, to use her voice.
