This is a podcast about grief and loss and how we can find hope. How are we and how can we move forward?
Even if your life's greatest losses are not caused by death, this is still for you. Today I will talk about myths about grief.
I think we can all recognize:
-Don't cry, can be perceived as; Don't show that you're sad through a reaction of crying, even though you're sad.
This is easy to say meaning well, but the interpretation is that the actual expression of the emotion is wrong.
From early age, we risk to earn that crying is weak in our society. We can hear someone who is crying being called names already in the playground.
Crying is actually a great tool when it comes to reactions to grief and processing it. When you can let your emotions out, you shouldn't have to hear that it´s wrong, when you're in grief after a painful life change.
In this episode I talk about other myths and examples of what we can say insted.
Welcome to listenand follow.
Thank You, Catharina
