092. AmarAtma Singh on Grieving Like a Boss

Listen to AmarAtma Singh, a grief coach, discuss with Heather the surprising impact of talking about grief, the ways in which grief hits us, and what we can do about it. AmarAtma explains why effectively dealing with grief is one of the ways we can reclaim humanness. We discuss all the forms of loss: loved ones, money, property, functioning, autonomy, relationships, even losing things we've never had. Go fearlessly into your grief because the body will share the truth.   In this episode, Heather and AmarAtma discuss: What grief is  How grief comes with several other emotions at the same time  Emotion phobia  Face, Embrace and Release Model Hopes, dreams and expectations loss  How the degree of a loss can change the way we experience grief Emotional resilience  Why being told to "man up" and "push through" may not be the best thing to do when it comes to grieving The risks of suppressing instincts Why you can't think your way through grief  The need to move the unresolved feelings  How we know if we're dealing with our grief well How we become what we avoid wanting to become  Importance of asking yourself "who am I if I'm not protecting?" The strength of the human spirit The importance of doing advance directives and taking time to have deep and uncomfortable conversations What grief feels like  Anticipatory grief Grieving something you haven't had yet Why we hold onto grief What happens when we let go of grief   AmarAtma Singh is a Grief Coach with advanced certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist.
