Navigating Grief with Rituals and Ancestral Wisdom | The Practical Side of Grief withDr. Enjolie Lafaurie

In this episode of The Hanged Woman Podcast, host Julienne Irons explores grief through a practical lens. Joined by psychologist and community healer Dr. Enjolie Lafaurie, the conversation opens space for the realities of grief and the rituals that help us move through it. Dr. Lafaurie shares insight on different types of grief, from anticipatory to disenfranchised, and the soul wounds they can leave behind. Together, Julienne and Dr. Lafaurie reflect on how grief shows up in our bodies and communities, the role of pets and cultural traditions in our healing, and the power of practices like altars and ceremonies to honor those we’ve lost. This episode invites listeners to embrace grief as both a personal and collective experience, and to find grounding in intentional, simple practices that reconnect us with life, hope, and joy.
