What if grief isn’t just about loss, but about staying connected to those who’ve passed on?

Have you ever wondered if your loved ones are still with you after they’ve gone? What if there’s a way to feel their presence and find healing through that connection? Grief can be a painful, overwhelming journey, but it’s also one that can offer profound moments of connection across the divide between this world and the next. So, how do we bridge that gap and keep the bond alive?

In this heart-to-heart conversation on The Language of Love, I’m joined by Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a trauma therapist and author of Can Anyone Tell Me?. Meghan shares her own transformative experiences with grief, including the loss of her parents, and how these personal moments of sorrow shaped her work as a therapist. Together, we dive into grief from a holistic perspective—exploring how it affects us emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and how we can stay connected to those we’ve lost, even beyond this life.

In this episode, we cover:

Grief and Afterlife Connections: What if grief doesn’t have to mean letting go?
Spiritual Practices for Healing
The role of trauma therapy in processing grief
The impact of unresolved childhood trauma on adult grief
Differences in grieving processes based on the nature of loss
Why does grief feel so heavy, both emotionally and physically?
How do we build resilience when grief feels overwhelming?
Why is it so important to talk about grief openly?

Remember, healing through grief is a personal journey, and there’s always more to learn and explore.
