Episode 213 - Mental Health Series with Mary Mosier Part 4

For National Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re doing a special five-part Mental Health series with friend of the pod, Mary Mosier. This episode is Part 3: Grief In this episode, Rob and Eritrea talk to Mary about: * Its normal for grief to awaken all emotions not just sadness. * There are stages to grief and cycling thru them is also a part of the grief process, but It’s not a linear process for anyone. * It’s important to acknowledge grief , but it’s normal to deny it. Denial is often a way to cope. * Stay aware of the things that nurture you, this is/can be different for all people living with Diabetes. Staying hydrated, exercise, sleep: these can all affect how you feel. * There are times with Diabetes that we need extra help and extra resources. * Not everything happens for a reason, like a high blood sugar or a low blood sugar, and that’s okay.
