Welcome to this special milestone episode of A Gift for Grief - Life After Loss.
In this 50th episode, I step away from interviews to share something deeply personal, the inner experience that has shaped my own grief journey over the past nine years.
This episode explores the ongoing dialogue between two parts of myself: the human mind, which feels the raw pain of loss, and the spiritual mind, which offers a sense of peace, perspective, and continued connection.
If you’ve ever felt torn between deep sorrow and moments of calm or meaning, this conversation may resonate with you.
In This Episode, I Share:
What it’s really like living with grief 9 years after losing my son Matthew
The internal conflict between emotional pain and spiritual understanding
Why grief doesn’t disappear — but life can grow around it
How both heartbreak and healing can exist at the same time
The importance of allowing all feelings without judgement
A comforting perspective on love, memory, and continued connection
