Grief Part Two- The Learning Within Grief - Flip It

What this episode covers

The experience of grief is one that will at some point touch us all, but how each of us express grief is both unique and completely normal. It can feel foreign, heavy and at times as if the pain will never pass. We are often told that time is a great healer, and whilst over time, the pain can subside, is it ever possible to find meaning and purpose after loss? My guest this week is someone who has helped me to understand my own experience of grief in a completely new light. Dr Mary-Frances O’Connor, PhD is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, and believes that our brains can help us to turn grief into a form of learning, so that we can better know how to live alongside the fragility of life. So if you are wondering if you are ever going to feel any better or if you are feeling stuck in your grief, I hope this episode helps you to feel a little less alone and to know that what you are feeling right now, won’t always stay the same. If you enjoyed this episode of Flip It, I would be hugely grateful if you could rate, review and subscribe. It really will help me to discover and share more stories and voices that deserve to be heard.
