In Part 2 of this powerful two-part conversation, registered psychologist and grief coach, Ashley Mielke, shares what she’s learned after years of sitting with people in their darkest moments. Building on her personal story in Episode 28, Ashley offers compassionate and clear insights into how we can better understand, support, and walk with those who are grieving.
We explore toxic positivity, the myth of the ‘five stages of grief’, and why so many people feel unseen in their suffering. Ashley helps reframe grief not as something to fix—but something to honour, validate, and slowly work through.
This episode is for anyone wondering how to care well for the grieving—or how to walk through their own loss with gentleness and grace.
