It's not comfortable or pleasant to talk about but losing a parent - and grief, in general - is inevitable and today's conversation with grief coach, Jacey Keller, will help you be prepared. Whether you've just experienced a loss, your parents are alive and well, or you're supporting a loved one through their own loss, you'll get something out of today's episode. We talk about how to not lose yourself to a caregiving role, navigating acute grief right after a loss, how to get yourself to the point where you start taking care of yourself, again, and the best ways to be there while others are grieving.  --- When Jacey was 17, she lost her mother on Valentine’s Day after a 6-year battle with colon cancer. As a senior in high school, she didn’t know what resources were available. Jacey ended up gaining over 40lbs as a result of overeating in grief. She battled insomnia and failed her college classes. She went on to build a life with her husband, two kids, and a career she loves and is passionate about. Jacey is a certified life coach who helps people rebuild life after losing a parent. Whether it’s losing the grief weight, navigating family conflict, making decisions… She is an expert at helping you gain a clear perspective. She helps you make the most intentional decisions in grief with confidence.   You will find her by her desk in cozy slippers, sipping on a caffeinated ICE drink, while focusing on her mission.
