Episode 5 Grieve Breathe Live - With Louise Lawrie

Grief coach Louise Lawrie joins the show for an honest, tender conversation about what loss really does to the body, the mind, and the life you thought you were building. Drawing on her own experience of losing her husband and her work as a trauma-informed holistic grief coach, Louise unpacks why grief makes ordinary life feel intolerable, why society pressures people to heal on an unrealistic timeline, and how naming the secondary losses — of identity, routine, and future — helps people start to breathe again. We talk about what actually helps a grieving person (hint: it isn't trying to fix them), how humor and guilt live side by side in the shift from grieve to breathe, and why moving forward with grief is healthier than trying to "move on". Louise also shares a grounding technique for grief-storm moments, how anniversaries and body memories can be met with self-kindness, and how gender expectations shape the permission men give themselves to struggle. She walks us through her Grieve, Breathe, Live framework and how it differs from traditional therapy, plus practical guidance on using social media without making things worse. Whether you're in the raw early days of loss, supporting someone who is, or trying to build a life that carries the person you lost forward with you, this conversation is a gentle, practical companion.
