My name is Catharina Karlsson. It started with a broken heart when my mother died and I was helped by grief recovery. I then decided that I wanted to give back and became a grief coach myself. I want to be a voice for the change of life that happens when life gets in the way for different reasons. I want to talk about how to find courage and tools to handle loss and refind hope in life. We are all individuals and there is no right or wrong and I want to approach grief from a humble perspective although based on my own perspectives and experiences.
I am a teacher, special educator, mother and dogmom. I am also a certified grief coach. I have also done research about proactive health from a special educational perspective. I want this pod cast to be a safe place to talk about difficult things but where glimpses of light can shine in and give light and hope.
Grief and loss is not only about death. We can get reactions of grief after for example a divioce, other major separations (human or pet), injury, disease or loss of a bodily function, assault, bullying, bankruptcy, conflicts at work or privately. For a variety of reasons we can lose our safety, security, self-esteem or dreams and trust in the future.
Who was I and who did I become after my loss? With this podcast I want to spread knowledge about grief, loss and try to be a channel about ways to find some hope and light again. We are expected to move forward after our loss. How can we get there?
