Ep. 153 When Grief Comes Back Like a Volcano: The Second Wave

from What Really Matters: Everyday Spirituality Hosted by Karen Wyatt

In this episode I share my experience of having grief return to me in a sudden, unexpected wave like a long-dormant volcano erupting. This event is the subject of my new book Wild and Holy, which is launching on Kickstarter this week. This episode includes: What is the second wave of grief and why does it happen How hidden grief may return when we are strong enough to navigate it How grief and guilt can be stored in the physical body and somatic therapies may be needed How society exerts pressure to move on from grief and adds to shame and guilt over prolonge or recurrent grief How to navigate your own second wave of grief Sign up for the Wild and Holy Kickstarter page Learn about my books here Check out End-of-Life University Podcast Read my latest Substack post Make a donation here
