Not Your Average Grief Podcast

Hi friend, it's Shauna Dukes! I am the author of the best selling book Even If-A Holistic Approach to Grief And Living A Joy Filled Life With Loss, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and a Holistic Grief Coach.If you are emotionally surviving after the death of a loved one and wondering how on earth you will ever be able to move forward, then you are in the right place, and I am so glad you are here.Unfortunately I have survived a lot of loss in my life but none of them wrecked me quite like the death of my 3 year old son. I felt like an emotional zombie for years. I tried every sort of numbing possible(didn't help by the way), read every book I could find on child loss, and did about 1000 google searches looking for answers on how you still live with this level of pain. What I have realized through my journey is that there is a great need for guidance and hope through this complex and painful process. Although I don't believe we ever fully heal from loss in this life, some healing

  NAVIGATING GRIEF- A JOURNEY OF LOVE + LOSS WITH MARIE GOUDREAU

  Apr 1, 202644 minS2

  In this heartfelt conversation that you won't want to miss, Marie Goudreau and I explore the complexities of grief, and share personal stories and insights on how to navigate loss. Marie, a certified death and grief doula, shares her journey with us through grief after losing her partner to cancer and how it led her to support others in their grief. KeyTakeaways Grief is a personal journey, and each individual is the expert of their own grief. The experience of loss can profoundly change one's identity and worldview. Community support is crucial for those navigating grief; it helps alleviate feelings of isolation. Healing from grief is an ongoing process, not a destination. Love and legacy continue beyond death, shaping how we live our lives. Grief is not an emergency; there is no timeline for healing. It's important to allow oneself to feel the full spectrum of grief. The relationship with the deceased can evolve but does not have to end. Presence and understanding are the most valuable gifts we can offer to those in grief. Being of service to others can be a powerful part of one's healing journey.
