    Raymond Chhun: No one gets out of mud on their own

    Raymond Chhun is a registered nurse in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He's worked in clinic as well as an instructor, and is currently applying for his PhD to research building resilience in nursing. His mother grew up in rural Cambodia and met his father in Thailand. At a young age she was taken from home during the country's civil war essentially having the life she knew before taken away from her. When he was just 13 years old, Raymond had sadly already lost both of his parents. His own life changed forever. Through his teen years he struggled in school and his social circle. Thanks to proactive mentors who helped guide him and build his resilience, he went on to a prosperous career in nursing and continues to give back to his community. Crediting this as being a way to help others and keep a resilient mindset. I spoke with Raymond from his home in Winnipeg and mine in Toronto.

    How to help a griever get back to living life

    This episode is a response to a Twitter post that I recently made that garnered a bit of attention. I was remarking on how I was including a friend, who recently lost her husband, in my plans. Inviting her to play tennis, hang out and go out for dinner. So many people replied with their own stories of living with grief and the alienation they encountered while others wrote about the ways in which they had included a griever in their vacations, dinners and making plans together. The grievers had remarked on the typical "outreach" comments that they would hear as a way for others to feel as though they were helping. These are touched-on as well as examples of how they also felt acknowledged, loved and seen which allowed them to make steps to move forward from their loss. This episode is with Janet Fanaki, a widow for over three years and the host of the RESILIENT PEOPLE podcast.
