A Crash Course In Grief: 4 Things I've Learned Supporting My Husband Through His Mum's Cancer

from Put Yourself First · host Kat Horrocks

In March, we found out my mother-in-law has cancer. It's now mid-July and she's in palliative care at home. We have weeks left with her.I wanted to share this episode as a resource, whether you're supporting a partner through illness, grief, or any traumatic event, or you're the one going through it and need the words to ask for what you actually need.Four months into this crash course, here's what I'm covering:Why "let me know if you need anything" is one of the worst things you can say, and what to do insteadHow to stop projecting your own needs onto your grieving partnerWhy honouring someone's nervous system matters more than trying to fix how they're copingHow to support your loved one without abandoning yourself in the processIf you've got your own wisdom on grief, your masters, your PhD in it, send it my way.
