A Meaningful Grief Podcast

11/04/2023

I TALKED WITH SOMEONE THIS WEEK WHO HAD BEEN TREATED WITH SHAMEFUL DISRESPECT. THE VERY CORE OF WHO THEY ARE WAS ATTACKED. THEIR HEART. THEIR FAITH. THEIR TRUE CHARACTER. BY SOMEONE THEY HAD LOVED AND RESPECTED.

THEN I SAW THIS QUOTE.

MAYBE IT’S A GOOD REMINDER TO YOU TOO. DON’T BELIEVE THEM. THEY’RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES…AND THROWING IT ON YOU. DON’T OWN THEIR WORDS.

THE WORDS AREN’T WORTH THE AMOUNT OF AIR THEY TOOK UP TO SAY THEM. DON’T ALLOW THEM TO LIVE RENT FREE IN YOUR BRAIN. YOUR THOUGHTS.

THEY HOLD NO TRUTH OR POWER OVER YOU.

DON’T LIVE TO PLEASE PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

THEY WILL NEVER BE PLEASED UNTIL THEY ARE HEALED FROM WHATEVER HURT MADE THEM ACT THIS WAY.

Anticipatory grief is grieving a loss before it happens.

It’s often associated with impending death or a long term illness…but it can also apply to other types of loss.

I talk about this and some tips on how to process through it in the latest episode of A Meaningful Grief Podcast

Hey friends!

We haven’t forgotten about ya!

My amazing son/producer encouraged me to wait until the new year to launch the podcast...and I’ve decided to heed his advise.

I set deadlines for myself to get things recorded…but we want it to be the best or can be for y’all…and it takes time and intentionality to do that.

So thank you for your patience.

In the meantime, enjoy this little slice of warm and cozy joy…and look for A Meaningful Grief Podcast to launch in January 2023!

Thank you so much for your patience as we iron out the final details and get this podcast ready to launch!

Had no clue my producer (aka my son Carson) was going to be on tour when we announced my launch plan.

All the pieces are coming together.

Stay tuned!

A Meaningful Grief Podcast - Living Through Loss with Purpose

I stopped trying to make everything “the same” a long time ago.

Honestly, our first Christmas without our daughter Sydney, I realized nothing would ever be the same anyway.

We’ve lived in 4 different homes + 2 states since she died 13 years ago. Given many of her things away.

I still love Christmas + clearly like celebrating it as early as possible...but I spend zero energy on trying to make it something it’s not. It’s not the same. It’s not the fam of 4 doing our thing.

And honestly, even if she was alive, she’d be 24 years old. It’s highly likely things wouldn’t follow the same pattern anyway.

So I let all of the expectations go.

We have some things we try to keep doing, because we like to, not out of obligation of capturing some ghost of Christmas past.

We pretty much figure out what we feel like doing + we do that.

And because she’s a part of us...a piece of our hearts…we feel the connection still...always...because love is stronger than death🤍
