    The Need to Voice Uncomfortable Things About Grief

    The Need to Voice Uncomfortable Things About Grief

    On this Grief Refuge podcast episode, Founder and Host, Reid Peterson, shares a guest interview with you. His guest is Barb Higgins and she has a helpful perspective on giving grief a voice. She shares her journey publicly on her “A Thousand Tiny Steps” podcast and Youtube channels. 
    One of the things that really stands out about this interview is her visual analogies for some of the harder experiences in grief. It made a lot more sense to have a metaphorical image to visualize when talking about the complex emotions involved in handling death related loss. 
    Barb’s insights can help validate you for being your true self as you grieve and heal. You no longer have to tell yourself you’re supposed to think or feel a certain way or that somehow you’re responsible for the comfort of others in your own grief.

The Need To Voice Uncomfortable Things About Grief

Great podcast interview with Barb Higgins. It’s was great honor to expand that our voice about grief is not hidden. Thank you so much Reid. “You no longer have to tell yourself you’re supposed to think or feel a certain way or that somehow you’re responsible for the comfort of others in your own grief.”

The best EVER!!!

My father died in 2021. His death has devastated my family. I am struggling with grief. I have a therapist that helps. This podcast gives me great practical advice. This podcast makes me know that what I feel is real and that I am not crazy. The words express what I feel and when the podcast is finished I feel like I have been given additional tools to fight this grief battle.

Wonderful

I just listened Tina's story on loss of her mom and I resonated with everything she wrote. I love the podcast and how respectful the speaker is in narrating the stories. Best podcast on grief. Thank you so much for doing this.
