In this episode, I sit down with my friend Angeleaza to discuss the complex journey of navigating grief and loss. Angeleaza shares her personal story of losing her dad 11 years ago, exploring the unexpected nature of his passing and the profound impact it had on her life. The conversation dives into the different types of grief, the challenges of coping with PTSD, and the importance of acceptance and finding new normals after loss. Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions about death and grief. Please take care of yourself while listening and consider if this content is appropriate for you at this time. ♡

Takeaways:

• Healing is not linear; it will get better over time
• Accepting that you are not the same person after a loss is crucial
• Finding a 'just be' place, like fitness or meditation, can help with healing
• Grief can manifest in unexpected ways, such as PTSD or anxiety
• Community support is so important in the grieving process
• It's important to talk openly about grief and not shy away from it
• Grieving is a personal journey, and everyone experiences it differently
• Sharing stories and memories of lost loved ones can be healing
• Acceptance rather than resistance helps in navigating grief
