  • The angel day of my dad, Greg Jordan, is coming up on July 13th, so I’m reflecting on the last four years since his death.I wanted to have an open, vulnerable conversation and share some thoughts and feelings that I'm having around approaching this (unfortunate) milestone. I did this last year with my mom on her for your angel day as well, and I think it's so important to take a moment to process and reflect on days like these.So, I’m sharing what I'm feeling and thinking with this day approaching, but also some things I'm reflecting on and things I've learned in the last several years.My goal is for really anyone here listening to glean something from this episode, and take something away from this conversation that you can apply to your grieving and healing journey.Work with me:- 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief- Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership- Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara

  • “Wife”“Mother”“Father”“Sibling”“Friend”“Cousin”“Boyfriend”“Girlfriend”“Partner”“Dog mom” or “dog dad” … the list goes on. How do you identify? What identity do you feel has changed since you’ve suffered your loss? Has it evolved? Do you still identify as whatever your “title” is? Perhaps not sure yet and trying to figure it out? Maybe figuring out what this new shift in your reality actually means for you now? So relatable, my friend. When we suffer a loss, we’re left to wonder… where does this leave us? What now? For many, sadly, they find themselves asking if they deserve these titles still. In this episode this week, we're digging into that! We'll talk about how to understand the complexities of coping with feeling a loss of identity after you’ve been through a loss, and how this affects the grieving process.

  • Dr. Sweta Vikram, PhD is a dedicated Doctor of Ayurveda, a globally renowned speaker, and an acclaimed author of 14 best-selling books.The goal of her work is to alleviate stress and elevate the overall quality of her clients' lives through Ayurveda-based health and wellness coaching. She specializes in addressing disordered sleep, anxiety, digestion, appetite, and mood.I was so excited to talk to her more about Ayurveda, specifically, because this practice was a key focus as I was earning my Soul Purpose and Transformational Life Coaching certification.Ayurveda has truly been transformative not only in coping with my grief and improving my overall health and wellbeing, but really in my own journey of finding my soul’s purpose and understanding how to move forward after loss. It led me to some major changes in my life, and I have no doubt it can open that door for you, too.But even more than the Ayurveda piece of this puzzle, we get into so many beautiful topics around loss and navigating life with grief that will leave you uplifted and inspired.

  • Let’s talk good vibrations and high frequencies! This mindset shift and being aware of what we're talking about in this episode can be pivotal as we cope with the day-to-day complexities of grief, life after loss, and life in general. Fun fact: this entire episode is based on one of my most popular blog posts! But I think this just goes to show how needed this conversation is. The overarching goal of this episode is to understand frequency and vibrational levels overall, but especially as we grieve or go through a difficult time. We’ll talk about:What vibrational and frequency levels are and why they're important.How keeping these things high can positively affect how we cope with grief and navigate life after loss.20 ways that you can begin raising your frequency and vibrational levels.

  • If you’ve experienced a loss, you’ve likely experienced some form of shock along the way. Even if you see the loss coming, little can prepare you for when you actually lose a loved one. Or, even endure an unforeseen breakup, lose a job, or something else entirely. All of these and more deserve to be recognized and can be equally shocking!But fear not, my friend… there are ways to work through this shock and find some semblance of peace again. Today, we’ll acknowledge the trauma that shock from a loss can leave on our hearts, and talk about ways to cope with it.Join the waitlist for my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://losses-become-gains.myflodesk.com/i75sdwbftnEpisode 38, Creating a Routine and Why It’s Important in Grief: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/038-creating-a-routine-and-why-its-important-in-grief/id1688812587?i=1000641332343Freebies: https://lossesbecomegains.com/free-toolsWork with me:

  • Today on the Life With Grief Podcast we're chatting with Gaby Georges.

Through The Grief Cocoon, Gaby offers creative online workshops, a podcast, educational online content, a mobile community app, and one-on-one support.She is truly such a beautiful human with this amazing calming energy that I know you're going to feel just by hearing her voice! We’re talking all about the power of creativity in processing and transforming our grief, the importance of community and connecting with others when we're grieving, and embracing grief rather than avoiding it.

  • Today I wanted to have a quick conversation about why alone time is important in our grieving journey, and in our healing journey. We're going to talk about seven reasons I feel this way, both as a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and a fellow griever.I know we can sometimes want to be surrounded by people as we're grieving, and I always encourage that! Having a solid support system is critical.But the thing is, the practice of embracing alone time can lead to self-reflection, introspection, and thinking about where our life was, where it is, and where we see it going. We can't always do that if we're inundated with other people, right?All I want you to do today—no matter where you fall on this spectrum of wanting people around you—is to hear me out on this topic. I think there is so much peace to be found when we have that time alone, and here we’ll talk about why!Work with me:

  • I am incredibly honored to share today's guest with you guys. I’ve been a fan of hers for a LONG time now, y’all! I connected with her through Instagram, back when I first started following her early in the days of Losses Become Gains. I absolutely fell in love with her content and her beautiful writing, and now I have the privilege of sharing her with YOU today!I have no doubt you are going to love her as well. Today, we are chatting with Michelle DeVille. She is a grief specialist, educator, coach, end of life doula (we get into what this is in this episode!), speaker, and writer.Here, she shares her profound story with us—and let me tell you, she has suffered a lot of loss of different kinds.But really, her message is so beautiful. Like most of us, she knows how paralyzing grief and loss can be. It's because of her own painful life experiences that she is dedicated to helping others, just like you, who are struggling and facing some of their most difficult season ever.She and I share the belief that we can't escape loss and grief, but we CAN choose how we live and love every single day. It all comes down to how we navigate it, how we cope, and how we can shift our perspective. This is such an empowering conversation. Get excited, my friends!Connect with Michele:Email: [email protected] Website: www.micheledeville.com Instagram: @micheledeville

  • As if grief isn't difficult enough, insensitive, ignorant, and unnecessary comments are, sadly, a common occurrence for so many of us. These kinds of remarks will likely come our way at some point as we're grieving.Things like…

    You should be doing [fill in the blank].You need to let it go.People speaking on behalf of our loved one who has died, like putting words in their mouth about what they would be thinking, feeling, or saying.Why are you dwelling on it?You should get over it by now.You should be moved on… why aren’t you moved on?Do you think it’s healthy to think or talk about it this much?

    And SO many more!So, I wanted to cover this topic because there are so many complexities to it. And the thing is, comments like this can really hurt, right?! They can even set us back in our grieving and healing journey.I want us to have a very open, honest, and raw conversation about it. And, of course, equip you with some tools and guidance on how to cope with this—and how to manage these comments—if this comes up as you’re trying to navigate your grief, life after loss, and everything in between.Work with me:Explore my Life With Grief membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara
