    Chalk It Up To Grief (or stress, anxiety, worry, fear....)

    Both DeAnne and Astrid experienced physical changes they chalked up to grief. In early grief especially, it can be hard to differentiate between the changes we go through. Is it grief or something else? We change in other ways, too. DeAnne brings up empathy - how we have changed in response to others. Turns out we don't look at people in the same way, now. We allow others more latitude. And maybe ourselves, too.

    Finding Community

    How do you find your people? Are there people out there like us and like you? We KNOW there are. How do we find them?

    Food, Grief, and Healing

    In this episode, DeAnne and Astrid discuss food and grief. What associations do we have between our children who are gone and any foods they might have loved? Do we still make those things? The conversation segues into a discussion about the things we stop doing because we associate them so strongly with our dead children.

    Taking a Break From Grief

    Sometimes we need to take a break from the work of grief. When your child dies from a drug overdose, the work can be endless. In the end, the timing of our work is our own, the pace is our own. We do what we can, when we can.

    What's In a Name? Introducing: Prolonged Grief Disorder

    After a few minutes of the last dregs of Christmas talk, Astrid and DeAnne discuss the fact that what has been known to us as Complicated Grief has undergone a name change to Prolonged Grief Disorder. Are we disordered? When your child dies from a drug overdose, that grief is complicated. There's no way it CAN'T be complicated. But is it a disorder? We discuss.

    A Post Holiday Review

    Each holiday season will be different. This year, both of us experienced Christmas differently than we had before. It was "better," a shift had occurred, and at the same time letting go of loss is hard.

    Waking Up

    At some point, we begin to wake up to our present surroundings. Maybe we realize we want a new top, or want to change the way our furniture is arranged. When we wake up to our surroundings, is it a sign of re-entry into the world? An acknowledgment that life really does go on? Nothing about grief ever goes in a straight line, but when a shift takes place it can be impactful.
