"Anatomy of Grief" Series | What's your grief bias?

What is your grief bias? (Hint: You have one. We all do.)Our beliefs about grief, or grief biases, define how we show up for ourselves and each other. They become particularly evident when we experience a loss or life-altering circumstances.Inspired by the profound insights gained from Megan Devine's Grief Care Professional Certificate Program, this episode peels back the layers of treating grief as a disease or personal failing, the societal pressures and expectations that shape our collective experience, and what role our grief-phobic culture plays in the epidemic of loneliness.I invite you to explore your own grief biases, challenge them, and cultivate curiosity as we improve how we navigate the nuances of grief.To answer the question in the episode, DM me on Instagram at @griefandlight.Sources referenced in the episode: CIGNA study on lonelinessThe Loneliness Epidemic Persists: A Post-Pandemic Look at the State of Loneliness among U.S. AdultsNina Rodriguez Social & Website:Instagram: @griefandlightThreads: @griefandlightWebsite: griefandlight.comWays to Work with MeSubscribe to my newsletterDisclaimer: griefandlight.com/safetyanddisclaimers#griefandlight #griefandlightpodcastWant to sponsor an episode?
