Grief and the Body

In this episode of Two Mothers, One Aché, Dionne and Yvette welcome their very first guest—author, athlete, mother, and fierce grief-advocate, Myra Sack. Together, they explore how grief lives in the body—how it tightens the throat, aches in the heart, disrupts our systems, and demands to be felt. Myra shares the story behind her memoir 57 Fridays and the creation of eMotion, the nonprofit she founded to help grievers heal through movement, ritual, and community. The conversation flows through:  • The physical symptoms of grief—and what they’re signaling  • Emotional musculature and learning to trust ourselves again  • Breathwork, micro-rituals, and the power of a “quiet mile”  • The cultural discomfort with grief and why community matters This episode is tender, grounding, and transformative.
