GRIEF AND LIGHT
This space was created for you by someone who gets it – your grief, your foundation-shattering reality, and the question of what the heck do we do with the shattered pieces of life and loss around us.
It’s also for the listener who wants to better understand their grieving person, and perhaps wants to learn how to help.
Now in its fourth season, the Grief and Light Podcast features both solo episodes and interviews with first-hand experiencers, authors, and professionals, who shine a light on the broad spectrum of experiences, feelings, secondary losses, and takeaways.
As a bereaved sister, I share my personal story of the sudden loss of my younger brother, only sibling, one day after we celebrated his 32nd birthday. I also delve into how that loss, trauma, and grief catapulted me into a truth-seeking journey, which ultimately led me to answer "the calling" of creating this space I now call Grief and Light.
Since launching the first episode on March 30, 2023, the Grief and Light podcast and social platforms have evolved into a powerful resource for grief-informed support, including one-on-one grief guidance, monthly grief circles, community, and much more.
With each episode, you can expect open and authentic conversations sharing our truth, and explorations of how to transmute the grief experience into meaning, and even joy.
My hope is to make you feel less alone, and to be a beacon of light and source of information for anyone embarking on this journey.

GRIEF AND LIGHT
The Pain is Real, but the Suffering is Optional
What is the difference between pain and suffering in grief?
Grief is an unwelcome companion that we never invite into our lives.
It barges in unannounced, shattering our world and leaving us to pick up the pieces. It feels as if a part of us has been torn away, leaving behind an emptiness that seems impossible to fill.
But here's the thing, while the pain is undeniably real, the suffering can be optional. It's a choice we have the power to make. So today, I want to explore what it means to embrace our grief, find hope in the darkness, and integrate this experience into our lives -- how to separate pain from suffering in grief.
I'll address how showing yourself GRACE can be a powerful antidote against unnecessary suffering in your grief journey, and other tools that can help as we move forward in life.
I'd love to know how grace has showed up in your life and what "tools" have worked for you. Feel free to share via IG @griefandlight
