Grief: A Journey to Be Walked or a Language to Be Learned?

from Beyond the Pain: Heart and Home Healing After Loss · host Emily Smaczniak

Today I welcome BACK to the show incredible trauma-informed certified coach, Mike-Ayala White. Because of his past experience and coaching training, Mike has brought so much wisdom and knowledge to the Beyond The Pain Podcast. In this episode, Mike and I dissect and discuss for the first time John Onwuchekwa's famous phrase "Grief is not a journey that we finish, but a language we become fluent in." Here are the key takeaways from this week's episode:-Our interpretations on grief as a language-The BEST thing you can do for someone if you can't relate to what they're going through-Debunking the 5 stages of grief-Grief is circular, not linear-Holistic solutions (instead of spiritual platitudes)-Grief vs. trauma-Grieving is a daily choiceConnect with Mike: Wayward [email protected]@waywardcoaching
