It’s time for grief to come out of the basement, or wherever we have stuffed it to avoid talking about it. When you suffer a loss you need support, comfort, and a safe place to heal. What you are experiencing is painful but normal, unique but similar, surreal but very, very real. As grief advocates we understand and want to provide support, knowledge and comfort as you continue to live and grieve. Host, Kathy Gleason; Producer, Stephanie Kendrick. www.asiliveandgrieve.com

Make Your Path in Grief, with Suzanne Anderson
Summary:
We have established that we each walk our own grief journey, different than others, yet with numerous similarities. We can gain strength and support through the stories of others. Suzanne Anderson is with me today to talk about her journey after the loss of her husband.
Notes:
Suzanne has lived on a kibbutz in Israel and taught skiing in the Golan Heights, met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and did Transcendental Meditation and lived for a month in a remote cliff cave in Crete exploring altered states. She has long been on a path of growth and enlightenment, yet her husband's death shook her like an earthquake. "Within 6 months I had lost everything I held most precious – my beloved husband and our future together, our island retreat center home, my cat, my community and my company." Now she guides women, not only through grief, but through transformation. She is the author of two books, You Make Your Path by Walking and The Way of the Mysterial Woman.
