    SEASON 2 EPISODE 10 IMPACT OF GRIEF ON OUR MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING

    Grief is a natural human response to the loss of someone or something you love. The  emotions of grief vary greatly; sadness, anger, guilt, relief, shock etc but these are all normal responses to loss.  These reactions are a normal and  healthy part of the grieving process. But what happens when these emotions of grief become overwhelming, trigger deep depression, substance abuse,  suicidal thoughts, or are extreme or prolonged to the point that the griever cannot care for themselves and their health & wellbeing is affected. In this episode, we have a seasoned mental health professional and emotional health coach Mrs Toyin Akinfolarin come share with us the impact grief has on our mental health and wellbeing. We trust that as you listen you would be thoroughly equipped by the information and insights shared.

    Season 2 Episode 6 Reaction to Banky and Adesua W‘s ”Final Say Faith” Testimony

    On today's episode, we are doing something different from our regular podcast episodes.  We are reacting or should we say responding to Banky W and Adesua's "Final Say Faith" testimony on Youtube. For anyone who does not know the Williams, they are Nigerian celebrities. Banky is a musician, actor, businessman and it looks like these days a preacher of the word. Adesua is an amazing actress. Their testimony aired on Youtube in April 2021 and now has 1.6M views at this time. Here is the direct link to their testimony. You can also listen to their Final Say song here as well.  We love Banky and Adesua’s love and also their love for God! 😀 Their story of loss and waiting for a baby is quite moving and thought-provoking; we share our thoughts on various aspects of their emotional story.  As we continue to explore Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness in this Month of October, we hope that by listening to this episode and also Banky & Adesua's story that as a community we are able to break the silence and normalise conversations around pregnancy and baby loss whilst supporting families that have experienced miscarriages, stillbirths or infant loss. Feel free to send us an email at hello@whenlifestops.org with any questions, comments or feedback. We love to hear from you.
