Still Playing in the Ashes

In this episode of the Heart and Soulution podcast, Mike and Kristen Jones explore the complex nature of grief, using the recent passing of Kristen’s father to illustrate how to process loss more effectively. They move beyond the traditional "pull up your socks" mentality of previous generations to examine grief as a multi-layered experience that involves more than just death; it encompasses disappointment, missed expectations, and significant life transitions. They talk of what they have learned and share it with humility and rawness.(C) 2025 All Music by Mike and Kristen Jones for use by Heart and Soulution, including Heart and Soulution theme, Card of the day jingle and all background music; generated with Suno.ai.Reference material and Resources to dive deeper:Weller, Frances; The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief; 2015; North Atlantic Books.The Place We Find Ourselves podcast with Adam Young; Five part series on grief (episode 132).Connect with Heart and Solution:Follow on Instagram: Join the conversation ⁠⁠⁠@heartandsoulution.⁠⁠⁠Share Your Ideas: Let Mike and Kristen know your ideas for future episodes and engage in the conversation on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠.
