Loosing a loved one - how to cope with death and loss

In this episode, Ava explores a listener’s question: “How do I deal with the terrifying fear of a loved one dying?” Moments of birth and death often stir deep reflections about our own mortality. This conversation offers insight and comfort for anyone who is grieving a loss or living in fear of losing someone they love. A gentle exploration of loss, death, and the path toward meeting them with greater awareness, compassion, and freedom from unnecessary fear and suffering.   Chapter markers:    00:00 – Introduction to the topic and update about Honey 04:30 – The power of death and how it pulls on fear and love 05:30 – What we need to accept: coming to terms with life and death 07:12 – How modern life distracts us from our mortality 08:42 – Grief as a reflection of love 09:58 – Key questions to ask yourself: grief vs. suffering 11:15 – Ava shares what she is learning to accept as Honey nears the end of her life 17:10 – What happens when we don’t fully allow ourselves to grieve 18:10 – Closing reflections and invitation to share your thoughts   Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up:  A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.
