I reflect on the multiple deaths/transitions that led me to this point in my journey. I discuss the death of our cat, my grandmother, the challenge of ending a long-term marriage as well as the death of Self. Through these stories, I outline griefs as an integral part of love and personal growth. It's likely my most personal episode to date.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Points: </strong></p><ul><li>Grief is part of love</li><li>The loss of a pet is not something to be overlooked</li><li>Being present during a loved one's transition is a deep act of love.</li><li>The end of a marriage is a special kind of grief.</li><li>The death of Self requires powerful internal work and ongoing challenges</li><li>Grief is not something to be avoided; it can be a teacher.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Helpful Links:</strong></p><ul><li><a href=\"sheldongayisbugn.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hire me to speak or buy some merch!</a> - HOLIDAY 2024 SALE use code \"SKULLGERBIL\"</li><li><a href=\"https://www.ourwildminds.com/community\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Community for Black Gifted Adults - Our Wild Minds</a> - Use code \"Sheldon\"</li><li><a href=\"https://umbrellaus.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Umbrella US - Non-profit focused on neurodivergent advocacy</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.ndconnect.app/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ND Connect - Online community for neurodivergent people</a></li><li><a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSelanG1R71TcGjzHIyVW1f8fkE7MaWx-D2j7OtHsIGrdQhi_Q/viewform?usp=sf_link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Submit your Questions or Misunderstood Insights</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Intro and Outro music provided by <a href=\"https://byrdversion1.bandcamp.com/album/nevermore\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">byrdversion1 - \"It Couldn't Be\" from the album Nevermore</a></p>","author_name":"Sheldon Gay"}
