Judy Lipson is the sole survivor of three sisters, losing her sister Jane in 1981 at age twenty-two in an automobile accident, and nine years later her sister Margie at age thirty- five after a twenty-year battle with anorexia and bulimia.
For thirty years Judy suppressed her grief and in 2011 founded Celebration of Sisters, an annual ice-skating fundraiser to commemorate the lives and memories of her beloved sisters Margie and Jane to benefit Massachusetts General Hospital.
Skating is a sport the Lipson sisters shared and brought Judy full circle back to her sisters.
Judy Lipson published articles for The Open to Hope Foundation, The Centering Organization, Grief Healing, and Love and Loss. Massachusetts General Hospital and SKATING Magazine featured pieces on Judy’s philanthropic work. Judy has appeared as a guest on The Open To Hope, The Morning Glory, Surviving Sibling Loss, Where’s The Grief, Good Grief and U.S. Figure Skating Voices From The Ice Podcasts. She presented at The Compassionate Friends National Conference and will be a keynote speaker at The Bereaved Parents USA Conference in 2023.
Her passion for figure skating secured the recipient of U.S. Figure Skating Association 2020 Get Up Award.
Judy’s memoir, Celebration of Sisters: It Is Never Too Late To Grieve, was released November 2021 by WriteLife Publishing.

Have you ever wondered if anything good can come from a major loss or grief? In this episode host Jenny Dilts shares that positive things can come from our grief experiences.
In fact, she takes us on a journey showing us how she has used her professional process of converting grief into growth in her own personal walk with grief.
Everyone at some point in their lives experiences grief. No one is exempt. And even though we are all touched by grief, our experiences with grief are as individual as we are. A loss that seems life-shattering for some, may not even phase another.
Similarly, events that seem congratulatory for most may be some of the hardest for others. Converting Grief into Growth: The Journey of a Lifetime delves into one such event. Tune in to learn where Jenny has been for so long, what happened to Share Your Story: Exploring humanity one heart at a time, and why Jenny even needed to tap into her professional expertise for her personal transformation.
Topics that we discuss include the definition of grief, how Jenny even got started in grief work, and her process for converting grief into growth. Make sure you listen to the end of the show to hear the 3 pillars of the process she uses not only with her own grief, but also with her clients.
If you are struggling with grief, check out these 2 Survival Steps to help you breathe a little easier today. And if you’re curious what it might look like to work with Jenny, head to grievingcoach.com to book a 1:1 call with her.

For some, loss happens as singular experiences. For others like Tony Lynch, it seems to last a lifetime. From witnessing traumatic death at an early age, to living the life of the gangs, homelessness, and death of loved ones, Tony shares how he has been shaped by all of his experiences and now uses them to help others. In this episode he sums up his experiences when he says, “I can tell people now, the journey was worth it…and what I mean by that, it gave me the opportunity to serve.”
Bio
Tony Lynch is the founder of the non-profit Memories of Us ltd...grief support for men, Global grief Network, and host of the Grief Let's Talk About It podcast. He started Memories of us in 2019 after experiencing some significant losses: his son in 2016 and his mother in 2018.
Leaving him with almost no family and no one to help navigate this experience, Tony's grief became heavy and conflicting. On one hand he was taught to suppress not express, and on the other his heart was torn into a million pieces. Eventually with the choices he was making, he lost everything and planned out his suicide. He did finally seek help only to find there's was little or no support for men. He soon realized the importance of having a place where men can express their feelings, talk openly, but most importantly be supported by other men who have had similar experiences. As we all know, grief is a lonely personal walk, and just because it is personal Tony feels it's a reason to not do it alone.

Hope's "day job" is a talent coordinator with a major financial institution for the past 26 years. Hope believes her purpose in life was given to her after the traumatic loss of her son to murder. That purpose is to provide positivity, inspiration, and hope to others through her Grief 2 Hope program she created in honor of her son. Grief 2 Hope is a virtual peer grief support group that allows grievers a safe space to be their authentic self with support of others who understand and know exactly what they are going through.

Candace Sims
Candace Sims is more than just a bereaved mother. She parented a son for 22 years as a single mother. Marcus Reid was killed April 8, 2007. Since that day life has never been the same. The first year of coping with grief and loss was an eye-opening, self-reflecting experience. She felt pitiful for herself and thought she would always be pitied. But due to the spiritual foundation she was building up to that point, the faith inside of her went to work.
She is now (at 15 years of grieving my son's death) a Certified End of life Coach, Court Appointed Advocate in the State of Georgia, Community Advocate, Small Business Bereavement Coordinator, wife and Grandmother! Death has taught her how to live better purposefully! Her life's work is to help others talk more freely, and candidly about death without falling apart.

What would it be like to accept life as it comes, including all the ups and downs, vistas and valleys, triumphs and trials?
Join me and guest Camille Ellis, a life and grief coach, as we discuss what it's like to embrace all aspects of life, and death. In our time together Camille shares what it's been like to navigate the loss of a relationship with a step-daughter, a son's death by suicide, and the murder of a childhood friend. These experiences have helped her gain an appreciation for all parts of life and shown her how she can use them to help and support others through their challenges with grief and loss.
Bio
Camille Ellis
Camille is a Certified Life Coach whose niche is in grief coaching. She loves helping people embrace the whole journey of life including death. No stranger to trauma and grief, some of Camille’s personal experiences include a difficult childhood, surviving domestic violence, raising 2 sons on her own, one of them who had many mental health challenges. Camille married a great man who brought a 12 year old daughter into the family. During her step-daughter’s first year at college she experienced a bacteria in her brain stem which left her as an incomplete quadriplegic. Through this experience, Camille learned how to accept and still love, no matter what. This lesson would come into play again a few years later when her younger son Wes died by suicide. In the midst of her deepest misery, she heard a very strong and clear message that has become her purpose and her profession. The message was, “You will be the best mother, wife and woman because of Wes’s death. You will be stronger, wiser and able because of his whole journey and help others too.”

On our show today we have George Jerjian joining us from England. Helping Retiring Boomers Find Purpose, George is a Mindset Mentor, Best-selling Author, International Speaker and Emmy Award-Winning Producer. In our time together, George takes us through his journey with death and grief including his younger brother, his dad, and his own rendezvous with death. Some of the topics we discuss include family relationships after a death, how retirement is a form of death, and how “grief is not just a curse, it’s a blessing.” It’s an opportunity, among other things, “to rediscover who you are, to give birth to any dreams that you had.”
Bios
George Jerjian
George retired after being given just six months to live. Thankfully, his diagnosis was wrong. His retirement though, was “hellish”. George had money, friends, newly restored good health and an active social life, but it wasn’t enough. And so, he ‘unretired’ and dedicated his life to helping others avoid the same fate.
George has authored 11 books, including, ‘Spirit of Gratitude: Crises are Opportunities’, which gained him international recognition.
His latest book, ‘Dare to Discover Your Purpose’ shows Baby Boomers that retirement doesn’t have to be a disappointment and gives them the tools, confidence, and a blueprint to make the most of later life.
A former financial advisor, George is on a mission to help retirees create a plan for their later years which is about much more than money.

This episode is a conversation with Noémi Beres from Cyprus. Noémi's first experiences with death came when her grandparents died at age 6 or 7. She faced more death and grief later in her 20s, and then again in her 40s. No stranger to losing loved ones, Noémi teaches us that death and grief is a natural part of life. In our time together we learn that art and music can be an excellent means of self-expression in our grief, even when we don't know why we do what we do on a conscious level.

Welcome to February! I hope that 2023 is off to a good start for you, or at least that you are learning valuable lessons from the experiences you’ve been having.
I want to start by saying a big Thank you for tuning in and supporting the show through your subscription! Just a reminder, on Share Your Story we have moved from releasing regular episodes on a weekly basis to producing them on a biweekly schedule. The off-weeks will be primarily dedicated to special subscription only content.
Some of the things you receive by subscribing include sneak peeks into the plans and episodes for the upcoming month, special guest interviews I’ve done with other podcast hosts and experts in the field, and collaborative events that I’ve facilitated with some of my guests. Subscription content may also include behind the scenes cuts and insights from my perspective as the host of the Share Your Story podcast. Subscribe to learn more!
