REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches 244: Processing Grief through the Enneagram, with Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige [REPLAY]
How can the Enneagram help us process through grief and loss? Today, we’re revisiting a past episode of the podcast where I had a conversation with Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige. We talk about how the Enneagram has helped both of our families as we have navigated the loss of both of our sons.
On this episode, we'll share openly about:
-
How we all grieve differently
-
The value of huddling together as a family
-
Leaning into grief as a way of healing
-
Holding space for others who are grieving
-
The importance of being gentle with yourself as you grieve
Grief is a lifelong journey. It’s not something we move on from but move forward with. As I revisit this conversation several years later, I’m reminded of the healing and inner work that is still taking place for me. I hope our conversation helps you navigate and process your own grief and loss as together, we learn how to practice grief in healthy and authentic ways.
