Good Mourning - Ride the Waves to Comfort - Part 1

Welcome to Season 2!Hope is Powerful podcast's second season starts with a delightful conversation with Heather from the Creating You podcast. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and a dear friend. Once you listen, you will understand why I love talking to her. We all are grieving something. This podcast encourages you to embrace your pain and lean fully into your feelings in order to "mourn well."Remember:You can learn to ride grief waves to comfort. When you get hit with a wave of grief instead of fighting it, lean into it, catch the wave and let it take you all the way to comfort.Sadness and happiness are held in tension so you can have both at the same time.Mourn as long as you need to.The sixth stage of grieving is creating meaning around their life not just their death.Stop apologizing for tears. Get permission up front that if I start crying it's okay. People respond out of their discomfort and want to fix it and wanting it go away."Feelings are not the enemy, they are the informants.Be sure you welcome a range of emotions. Feelings are an open house.Be flexible with that."  HeatherJoin Heather's Facebook community called Best Days Ahead.Follow her on Instagram.Creating You podcast on Apple and on Spotify. Send a textFor more hope inspiration you can follow her posts on:https://www.instagram.com/the.hope.ladyhttps://www.facebook.com/hopeispowerfulRate and review this podcast to spread the hope to others who need to be reminded they can go from rock-bottom to the mountain top one step at a time.
