Between Sessions | "When the Person You're Grieving Is Still Alive"

Most people think grief is about death. It isn't.Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss, and loss takes more than forty forms. The end of a friendship. A family ruptured by politics. A faith that no longer holds. A future you had planned on. A person who is very much alive but completely out of reach.In this episode, Certified Trauma Recovery Coach and Grief Recovery Specialist Jolyn Armstrong explores the grief most of us are carrying without knowing it has a name and why unnamed grief doesn't heal.She opens with one of the most striking stories in American history, walks through the many losses society fails to recognize as grief, and addresses one of the most painful experiences showing up right now: the family member you love but can no longer talk to.If you've been feeling heavy, stuck, or sad in a way you can't quite explain this episode might give that feeling its name.Between Sessions is part of the Grapevine Wellness Show with Jolyn Armstrong.
