Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Cristie Ritz-King, and in this episode, I want to share some personal insights and professional wisdom on a topic that's very close to my heart: living and grieving simultaneously. Life after loss can be incredibly challenging, and it's something many of us struggle to navigate. I'll be discussing my own experiences, including bittersweet moments like my nephew's wedding, and how we can honor our loved ones while continuing to live fully. Join me as we explore the complexities of grief and healing together.
Main Takeaways:
Grief and Love Coexist: Grief lives as long as love lasts. It's not something to fix or heal completely; it's part of your journey as long as you continue to love those you've lost.
Bittersweet Moments: Joy and sadness can coexist. Celebrations can be tinged with grief, but that doesn't diminish the happiness or the importance of the event.
Living and Grieving Simultaneously: Life doesn't pause for grief. It's about finding a balance between living fully and honoring your grief.
Quotes:
"Grief lives as long as love lasts. As long as I love those I've lost, I'll carry a bit of grief with me."
"Living and grieving simultaneously is challenging. We don't always get a timeout to process loss; life keeps moving."
"Our job is to live and grieve simultaneously. It's not about moving on, but about moving forward with our grief."

Hey everyone, it's Dr. Cristie! As a mom who's been there, I know the summer after your college kid returns home can be a whirlwind. You think you're prepared, but suddenly you're glued to your phone, wondering where they are.
In this episode, I'm opening up about my own experience and the challenges we all face. We'll talk about:
Letting Go Blues: How to deal with your own anxieties as your child explores their independence. We'll figure out how to step back and support them, not control them.
Boundaries, Not Bosses: Setting clear expectations is key to a smooth summer. We'll ditch the "rules" mentality and focus on open communication.
Talking it Out: Honest conversations are essential for keeping the peace and respecting your child's choices.
Respecting Their Space: We'll talk about trusting their decisions and not taking their newfound independence personally.
Finding Our Rhythm: I'll share my strategies for establishing boundaries on things like meals and schedules, so everyone feels comfortable.
Plus: You'll get a hilarious (and maybe a little embarrassing) story about how my mother-in-law handled boundaries with her kids. Spoiler alert: it involved a checklist!
This episode is for you if:
Your college student is boomeranging back home this summer.
You're feeling anxious or like you've lost control.
You want to build a stronger, more trusting relationship with your young adult child.
Let's navigate this exciting new chapter together! We'll learn how to communicate openly, set healthy boundaries, and shower them with love (even when they're driving us crazy).
