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

    Charting a Path Through Grief with the Wisdom of Human Design

    Charting a Path Through Grief with the Wisdom of Human Design

    I found clarity and understanding recently with the help of Vicki Dickson, who offered me some insight into Human Design . Our conversation was a deep dive into this complex system that blends astrology, the chakra system, the Jewish Kabbalah, and the I Ching to offer insights into our soul's purpose. As I recounted my journey of self-discovery during my husband's illness and passing, Vicki helped me understand how human design can guide one through life's most harrowing transitions, allowing us to rediscover our true selves and emerge from grief with newfound purpose and strength.

    Head Space vs. Heart Space

    Head Space vs. Heart Space

    In today's episode, Christine Samuel shares her intimate understanding of the intricate balance between analytical headspace and the intuitive heart space, particularly as it pertains to grief and life's inevitable changes.

    Once our understanding of this difference grows, we are asked to consider the following:  What if the borders we see on maps didn't really exist, as when we gaze upon our Earth from the vastness of space?  We dare everyone to imagine a world without borders defined by humans - cultures and ethnicities that blend as families -- diverse, accepting, supporting and loving.  From such a unified perspective might emerge a more compassionate and connected existence.

    Pancakes for Roger

    Pancakes for Roger

    When grief tugs at our hearts, finding solace can often light the way through the darkness. Join me as I chat with Susan Combs, who, in honoring her father—a distinguished major general and civilian judge— transformed her sorrow into a legacy of hope. In our compelling discussion, Susan shares how her father's battle with Agent Orange-related throat cancer brought unique challenges, but also how these experiences shaped her endeavors with "Pancakes for Roger," a book and also a non-profit infused with her father's ethos of service and mentorship.

    As we peel back the layers of grief, we are presented deep look into the nature of grief. We discuss the contrast between anticipatory mourning and the maelstrom of emotions that follow an unexpected loss. Our conversation delves into the importance of embracing the full spectrum of our loved ones' lives and how a personal tribute can be a potent tool in the healing journey. Susan and I reflect on the steps we took to mend after our losses, and how these actions provided much-needed emotional closure.
