We know significant loss takes a lifetime to integrate. Hyedi beautifully shares her authentic and transparent experience as a mother who has experienced child loss. She also discusses the complex grief that can be experienced when one gets pregnant after loss. I appreciate that Hyedi speaks to the ebb and flow of grief over the years.

In this episode, Kelly sits down with her guest Karen, who recently lost her dog, Luna. Luna died suddenly, and unexpectedly, which made dealing with the grief very difficult at first. Karen beautifully shares how her deep love for Luna has also contributed to her profound grief. Animals are the most unconditional beings and they love us regardless. There is a special bond that is unique between the human and animal. To lose them creates a deep void and pain that can last a very long time. We will always miss them. It is important to find people in your life who will create a space for this grief that is extremely valid and not diminish or judge you. We are so grateful to Karen for sharing her beautiful love story with us. As always my friends, we see your grief.

In this episode, Kelly talks about timelines in grief and essentially how there are none. We live in a society, however, that has set up rules and judgments about grief. There are many factors to consider that are gently addressed in this episode. Kelly speaks of the importance of allowing space for the grief to breathe an be held. It is important to note that if you are thinking of hurting yourself or another person, you will need immediate medical attention prior to “doing the grief work.” You can start by texting 988 or going to the nearest ER. Remember, your grief is your love story for the one you miss so much. Much peace my friends.

In this episode, Kelly and Bryan Piatt speak about the way in which we shame ourselves for having natural human emotions to something that is difficult. People often refer to themselves as “losing it” when they have intense emotions. We want to try and be gentle and speak more about “being in touch with it.” We get to have ALL of our emotions.

In this episode, Kelly is joined by esteemed psychotherapist, Douglas Jensen, LICSW, BCD as they talk about complicated and disenfranchised grief.There are so many expectations placed on us around grief. We are often judged for how we grieve. We either don’t grieve enough or too much, according to society. Doug so authentically shares his grief around his mother’s recent death. He is transparent in the way he expresses that it was not necessarily the death that makes him grieve, rather the loss is correlated to his mother’s mental illness and their complicated relationship. It was such a gift to hold this space with Doug. Thank you for your time and absolutely beautiful shares.

As always, I see your grief. Be gentle, dear community.

Kelly sits down with Bryan Piatt, breathwork facilitator, mental health advocate and graduate student in Mental Health Counseling, as they discuss Bryan’s panic attack as a twelve year old and a lifelong of healing and learning. We discuss things that we would tell our younger selves that we have learned through our years of healing and evolving. As Bryan shares his vulnerable experiences, he also talks about ways to be more gentle with ourselves. If we would only speak to ourselves as adults as we do to a child, life would feel more gentle. One of the most tender messages Bryan shares is to remind ourselves “We are Safe.” Thank you, Bryan, for this amazing, heartfelt and connected interview.
