  253. The Sediment of Untouched Sorrow with Francis Weller

  Aug 16, 202646 minS5

  “The invitation has always been towards a de s cent.” Grief is a core human faculty that requires skill development rather than simply passing through. This week, we’re exploring these skills through the lens of an apprenticeship of sorrow with author and teacher Francis Weller. Francis’ work invites us to consider the necessarily communal reality of grief work and in this conversation, we also covered practical advice for those struggling with acute grief, too. In this episode, we talk about: ​Grief as a communal human faculty ​The value of community support in our grief work ​The expression of vulnerability ​Collective ritual practices ​Balancing grief and gratitude ​Embracing the darkness ​Acknowledging and pursuing primary satisfactions for grounding Links + Resources from this episode: ​ FrancisWeller.net ​ Learn more about Restorative Grief Coaching ​ Become a Patron/Get the workbook ​ Follow Mandy on Instagram

  252. A Restorative Practice for Days When Hope Feels Far Away

  Aug 9, 202612 minS5

  "Gratitude does not require us to appreciate suffering. Sometimes gratitude simply invites us to notice what is present alongside suffering." What if gratitude was never meant to replace grief, but to sit beside it? In this episode, I'm sharing the story of one of my last visits with my grandfather before his death and exploring why gratitude and grief are not opposites. Together, we'll talk about anticipatory grief, why gratitude is so often used to bypass sorrow, and a simple restorative practice I return to on the days when hope feels far away. In this episode, we explore: Why gratitude and grief can coexist Anticipatory grief and grieving before death The difference between gratitude and toxic positivity A simple trauma-informed restorative practice for difficult days How grief can deepen our capacity for gratitude Links + Resources from this episode: Join the Restorative Grief Community Become a Patron Subscribe to the Restorative Grief Newsletter Work with Mandy

  251. Tethered to Hope with Adriel Booker

  Aug 2, 202647 minS5

  "Most of us spend far more of our lives in the middle than we expect." What happens when grief is not tied to a single event, but to a season of becoming? Today, I'm joined by writer and author Adriel Booker, whose newest book, Tethered to Hope, explores the liminal spaces of life. Those moments when something has ended, something else is beginning, and we find ourselves navigating uncertainty, identity shifts, questions of faith, and the grief that often accompanies change. Together, we explore what it means to live in those in-between spaces with honesty and compassion. Rather than rushing toward resolution, Adriel invites us to consider how hope can remain present even when clarity is not. If you've ever felt suspended between what was and what comes next, this conversation offers language, companionship, and permission to remain present to your own unfolding. In this episode, we talk about: What liminal spaces are and why they matter The grief that accompanies change and transition Identity shifts after loss Faith, doubt, and living with unanswered questions Hope without certainty Learning to remain present during seasons of becoming The difference between resolution and transformation Links + Resources from this episode Adriel Booker's website Tethered to Hope Adriel's Substack Restorative Grief Community & Resources Become a Patron!

  250. 9 Wake-Up Calls of Grief and How to Heal from Them

  Jul 26, 202615 minS5

  What if the small, everyday signals you’re ignoring are actually wake-up calls from your grief? In this episode we talk about how grief doesn’t always show up in big, obvious ways. Sometimes it shows up as irritation, loss of motivation, dreaming of a different life, or even constant planning. We break down nine common emotional and physical signals you might be brushing off and explore how you can respond with simple, restorative actions instead of pushing them aside. We also walk through three practical ways to interrupt old patterns and begin healing: with presence, expression, and intentional choice.

  249. How the Enneagram Makes it all a Little More Understandable with Tyler Zach

  Jul 19, 202653 minS5

  "Grief isn't always about losing what was. Sometimes it's grieving what you thought would be." What happens when grief collides with personality, parenting, and identity? Today I'm joined by Enneagram teacher, author, and Type-ish founder Tyler Zach for a conversation about infertility, adoption, parenting through unexpected challenges, and the grief of letting go of the futures we imagined. Together, we explore how personality shapes the way we grieve, why loss often looks different inside relationships, and what it means to honor grief without trying to fix it. In this episode, we talk about: How personality shapes the grieving process Infertility, adoption, and parenting through loss Grieving unmet expectations for ourselves and our children Shame, achievement, and the Type 3 experience Identity shifts and leaving ministry Why grief looks different for different people What it means to let go and move forward with honesty Links + Resources from this episode: Learn more about Type-ish: https://www.typeish.com/ Buy a copy of Tyler's books Follow Mandy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mandycapehart Become a Patron / Get the Workbook: https://www.patreon.com/mandycapehart
