Featured Guest: Stacy - Forget Knot Grief Coaching and Workshops, IG: @forgetknot_coachingIn this deeply personal and restorative episode, we sit down with Stacy — a trauma-informed grief coach, daughter, mother, and survivor of profound cumulative loss. Over the course of just a few years, Stacy experienced the death of five loved ones, including her father, who battled Young Onset Dementia and Posterior Cortical Atrophy, a rare and devastating condition.Through anticipatory grief, caregiving, hospital stays with her daughter, the sudden loss of her job, and multiple family deaths — including loss to suicide and addiction — Stacy's journey became a testament to grief’s complexity and resilience. We explore: -How anticipatory grief shows up during caregiving. -The layered grief of dementia, addiction, and suicide. -What happens when life breaks you open—and how healing begins. -Stacy’s transformation from griever to grief coach. -How grief reveals identity, purpose, and unexpected strength. -What it means to walk with someone through their loss.This conversation is tender, honest, and filled with wisdom for anyone navigating complicated grief, caregiving, or redefining their life after loss. Whether you’re in the trenches or walking alongside someone who is, Stacy’s story offers comfort and clarity: you are not alone.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow ushttps://www.tiktok.com/@the.grieving.sistershttps://www.instagram.com/the_grieving_sisters/__________________________________________________________________#GriefJourney #CaregivingAndGrief #AnticipatoryGrief #DementiaAwareness#GriefSupport #LossAndHealing #GriefCoach #TraumaInformedCare #MentalHealthPodcast #SuicideLossSurvivor #AddictionLoss #NavigatingGrief#GriefTransformation #HealingAfterLoss #CumulativeGrief #PurposeAfterLoss#GriefToPurpose #WidowSupport #GriefAndParenting#EndOfLifeCare #thegrievingsisters
