A Healing Mindset After Loss: Grief and Gratitude with Mark Stackpole
Do you feel you are grieving wrong because the pain has not gone away? On The Healing Mindset, host Ria and Mark Stackpole, a father who lost his daughter six months ago, explore what healing after loss really looks like. You will hear why healing has no finish line, how gratitude and small moments can sit beside grief, and why kindness to yourself comes first. About the Guest: Mark Stackpole lives in Manteca, California, and has spent most of his career in education. Married for 30 years and a father of three, he shares his own experience of grief after losing his daughter to leukemia. Key Takeaways: Healing is not a destination. Expecting to arrive can make you feel you are doing it wrong. Let the pain be there. It need not be the only thing you feel. It is okay to laugh again. Joy can honour the person you lost. When grief overwhelms, start with a deep breath. Look for one thing to be grateful for, even a single memory. Be kind to yourself first. That kindness becomes their legacy.
