Shelby Forsythia, Intuitive Grief Guide

Whether your loss is a person, a relationship, a job, a pet, or a dream, loss shapes who you are and how you choose to live in the world. Join Shelby Forsythia, Intuitive Grief Guide as she explores the ideas, resources, and stories that help us "come back" to life after death, divorce, illness and more.

What if death is not a thing we’re all waiting for, but instead is an integral part of every second of every day? This week, Rob Bell and I are discussing grief through the lens of his new book Everything Is Spiritual. We’re talking about how two total opposites can be true at the same time, why some losses feel like graduations and others feel like divorces, and how to reframe the phrase, “Now what?” from a question of despair to a call for curiosity.

Diane Zinna became an adult orphan at 23 after losing her father at 15 and her mother the day she graduated from a master’s program in creative writing. Each time she sat down to write, themes of grief and loss filled the page. Diane's new novel, The All-Night Sun, tells the story of a grieving teacher whose losses follow her to a Midsommar’s Eve celebration, where things take a dark turn. Today, we’re talking about how we decide when to share our grief stories with others, and how common it is for our grief stories to be disjointed, unpredictable, and non-linear.

When Art Shaikh’s father died, he left Art letters and flowers to deliver to relatives that were still living. Inspired by the human desire to leave a legacy after death and continue to be there for loved ones who are living on, Art created CircleIt, a free app that helps you send letters, flowers, photos, videos, and gifts to people you love after you die. This week we’re talking about why people long to be remembered and all of the different ways people are preparing to leave a legacy through CircleIt.

Within the course of a year, Mona Luna acknowledged two major griefs in her life: the grief of growing up with a father struggling with alcoholism and the grief of enduring emotional abuse in a long-term romantic relationship. Yoga, therapy, and working with life coaches helped her return her to herself after years of never truly feeling “at home". This week, we’re talking about creating boundaries after living a life with no boundaries, honoring why it’s not selfish to work on yourself, and sharing a helpful re-defining of trauma: “too much; too fast."

Osteopath, doula, and zero-balancer Avni Trivedi marries Eastern and Western practices to treat grief in the body. After a myriad of losses including being present during her grandmother’s stroke, she studied the body, which—intuitively—became a doorway to studying grief. Today, we’ll talk bout how the body responds to grief, even years after a loss, how to cope in a world of six feet apart during COVID-19, and how to deal with feeling stuck by moving the body.

What does it mean to make love to grief? To welcome it into your body instead of casting it out like garbage? This week, I’m speaking to Sara Chizek about the sensuality and creativity that arrives when we practice the art of grief embodiment. After shutting herself off to the four-year-old girl who lost a father, her exploration of grief in her body opened her up to feeling whole and at home. What would it look like if we tried to practice grieving as much as we practiced resisting grief? Listen in for a powerful conversation.

After her father’s death in 2016, Mana Bhatt Sanghvi committed to living a live with no regrets. Her business, Treasure Texts, helps people communicate unspoken gratitudes to the people they love while they are still alive to receive them. This week, we’re talking about the different between anticipatory grief and the permanent grief that comes with loss, why it’s important to distinguish between “How are you?” and “How are you FEELING?”, and how Mana’s Hindu background gave her comfort when it was time to release her father’s spirit.

Cristina Chipriano grew up knowing grief, losing her 5-year-old cousin, her aunt, and her godmother all before second grade. After becoming a social worker, she helped create grief support programs in Spanish at Bo’s Place in Houston, where much of the community is Latino. Today, Cristina and I are talking about how death can take families farther apart AND closer together, how the cultural value family pride prompts Latino grievers to get grief support, and why it’s so important for grievers to be able to express their grief in their first language, what Cristina calls the language of the heart.

Dara Kurtz received decades of wisdom from her dead mother and grandmothers after stumbling across a Ziplock bag of letters. Her new book, I Am My Mother’s Daughter is an inside look at the intimate wisdom shared across maternal generations and a love letter to the power of preserving the written word. Today we’re talking about the four different types of letters you can write or receive, why you might consider writing a legacy letter to your loved ones, and why it’s important to allow yourself permission to unearth old treasured memories (even if there’s an ugly cry that follows!).

Melissa Bottorff-Arey’s life turned upside down when her son, Alex, took his own life during his junior year at college. Her new podcast, The Leftover Pieces, features conversations on living life after suicide loss. This week, we’re discussing the rage that often follows learning more information about a loss, how our mental health is impacted when someone we love dies, the glaring holes in our school systems that fail kids at an emotional and mental level, and how the suicide of a child changes identity as a mother.

Instagram-famous therapist Dr. Jenn Hardy is known for her intuitive wisdom on boundaries, self-care, rest, and grief. Today, we’re talking about how most of us underestimate the weight of emotional labor (especially in COVID-19), and why it’s impossible to compare losses.

Denise Soler Cox lost her father and her brother before the age of 18. Convinced she was “the most unlucky person she knew,” she believed she was doomed to a life of isolation and not-belonging. A seminar in her twenties opened Denise's eyes to the realization that she could invent a new story. This week, we’re talking about how vulnerability is a true measure of power, why sharing pain can help others know they are not alone, and how being willing to belong opens us up to a world of connection and camaraderie in grief. Plus, Denise is sharing the beautiful, grief-filled story behind her free documentary on belonging in the Latina community, Being Eñye.

At the age of 38, Rachel Wilkinson’s dream of motherhood ended. Thrust into the emotional and confusing grief of death of a lifelong dream, she turned to ancient practices of witchcraft and divination to create and direct her life after loss. This week, we’re talking about the power of dreams and signs to guide us in grief, how we can come to acceptance through stereotypically “occult” methods, and why leaning on intuition and spirituality isn’t as uncommon as you think.

Almost immediately after giving birth to her second daughter, Katie Arnold got the news that her father was going to die. Less than 10 weeks later, he passed away from terminal kidney cancer and Katie was forced to reckon with motherhood and the loss of a parent at the same time. Her book Running Home is a detailed look at her life after her dad died. Today we’re talking about how Katie used running to cope with her father’s death, why it’s normal to fear your own death after a loved one dies, and the profound connections between watching life enter the world and watching life exit it.

Speaking Grief is a new television documentary that features grieving and expert voices from a variety of backgrounds—all with the goal of kickstarting conversations about grief and loss. This week, I’m talking to producer, writer, and director Lindsey Whissel Fenton about how we can become more comfortable in awkward conversations, why we should normalize changing our minds after learning new information, how we can open the door for others to share their grief, and helpful scripts for supporting grieving people. Also this week, I’m pausing to honor the Black Lives Matter movement and the racial grief rising to the surface in the United States.

On July 13, 2011 Kelley Lynn woke up to an entirely new life. Her husband, Don, collapsed from a massive heart attack at work just four years and nine months into their happy marriage. Kelley suddenly became a widow. This week we’re talking about how loss forces us to reinvent ourselves, why we need to grieve both personal and joint dreams, and how one laughable grief cliche turned into a global rainbow-spotting movement honoring Don’s life.

When she was in her senior year of college, Cheryl Strayed’s mother, Bobbi, received a cancer diagnosis and died in just seven weeks. Today, I’m speaking with her on Motherless Mother’s Day 2020 about the death of her mom and how we can live full, beautiful lives after a mother dies. This is a replay of a live conversation where we explored what to do with the feeling of longing that never goes away, the helpfulness of self-forgiveness, and why putting ourselves in the way of beauty can help us soften the ache of grief.

Ten years ago, Jan Warner lost the “person who held her kite string”—her husband Artie. In the years after his death, Jan wrestled with suicidal thoughts and the urge to wallow. She began writing in an attempt to wear different “perspecticles” about her loss, and in 2018, she published a book called Grief Day by Day that speaks to grievers through a year’s worth of quotes and exercises. Today, we’re talking about the very real feeling of wanting to die after a loved one dies, changing how we measure effort and productivity after loss, and how to reframe “Is this normal?” into another, more important question.

When she was just 17 years old, Frankie Orella lost her mom to breast cancer. Her religious community was less than helpful and while she remained a part of the church, Frankie also looked to music and songwriting to “speak” to the pain of her loss. Her latest endeavor is a series of songs based on Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief. Today, we’re talking about becoming comfortable with the mystery of grief, why being in a safe or stable place is often a trigger for grief, and how after loss, hope needs time and space to heal.

Kim Peacock watched her daughter fall off a cliff to her death while on a family vacation in 1998. A joyful event instantly became a nightmare as she wrestled with her religious foundations and her need to know "WHY?”. This week, we’re talking about the grief of the empty room when a child dies, the prayer Kim and her husband said to keep them from “the pit,” and why grieving is not a sign that you’ve lost your faith.

Comedian, nurse, and ex-nun Kelli Dunham had two partners die in her arms within the course of five years. You might think she’s cursed, but she sees it a little differently. Join Kelli and I as we discuss the role of humor in grief, why finding meaning doesn’t make grief magically “go away,” and what it’s like to be the partner of someone who’s chosen to die by medically-assisted death (also known as physician-assisted suicide).

At the age of six, Tammy Faulds was diagnosed with cancer. Her yearly visits to an oncology office are a regular reminder that she’s going to die one day, and before that happens, she wants to live a life she’s proud of. This week, Tammy and I are talking about how Western society equates death with failure, how we can use our own mortality and our deathbed regrets as motivators to live how we actually want to live, and how feminizing grief can help us honor its cycles and seasons of light and dark.

How often have you felt HEARD, I mean REALLY HEARD in your grief? Michael Sorensen is the author of I Hear You and we’re talking about the tool of emotional validation i.e. helping people feel heard and understood. This week, we’ll touch on why we’re all starving for validation, how to get friends and family to really hear us instead of trying to fix us, and what to do when it feels like listening to someone else’s story is a burden. Plus, I’m announcing a tiny change to Coming Back’s structure going forward.

Her TED Talk has a disclaimer because it’s so controversial! What happens when we’re happy, joyful, or even at peace when our loved one dies? Jennifer Mathews is expanding what it means to grieve because when her partner died from cancer she did not grieve in the traditional way. We’re talking about the cultural myths that make death and grief more painful, how to connect with “that which never dies,” and why laughter is an invitation to connect with a new way of feeling.

What would happen if we gave kids space and support to grieve? This week, I’m talking to Jana DeCristofaro from the Dougy Center for Grieving Children and Families. We’re discussing why repeating the facts of what happened is often necessary for kids, why you might consider making a scrapbook or written story of a child’s grief, and how those of us who are childless/child-free can support the grieving kids around us.

Artist Joanne Fink lost her husband suddenly to a heart attack in 2011. Of course, he was more than just her husband; Andy was her business partner, IT director, and the person who held down the fort when she went to trade shows and client meetings. This week, we’re talking about the sudden need to take on spousal roles when a partner dies, Joanne’s perspective on sympathy greeting cards, and how to be a creative person… even if you’re not good at it. Plus, I’m sharing the final chapter of my book, Permission to Grieve.

In just three years, Rachel Reichblum lost both of her parents to the SAME TYPE OF BRAIN CANCER. Really… what are the odds? Today we’re talking about living in survival mode vs. thriving mode, why it’s necessary to “shelve spirituality” for a while after loss, and the immense pressure to find purpose and meaning after people we love have died. Plus, I’m talking about the things you do not have permission to do in grief and sharing an excerpt from my new book Permission to Grieve.

Thirteen years ago, Kristine Carlson’s husband was on a routine business trip when he died on a flight. The author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, Dr. Richard Carlson was—and still is—remembered in very public ways. This week, Kristine and I are talking about not getting the luxury of saying goodbye, dealing with the fear of being sucked under by sorrow, and the wild, impossible interaction Kristine and her daughters had on a flight years after her husband’s death. Plus, I’m talking about practicing permission to grieve in the real world and reading an excerpt from my new book Permission to Grieve.

One year ago, Kristen Meinzer suddenly lost her job. She was left with questions, grief, and the inevitable identity struggle that job loss produces. Today, we're talking about what to DO in the aftermath of sudden loss (and why Kristen embraces being a do-aholic), the difference between forced gratitude and practiced gratitude, and what Dolly Parton and Pollyanna have to do with grief! Also this week, I'm talking about how we all need permission to take grief into the world after a loss and reading an excerpt from my new book, Permission to Grieve.

Her first manic episode and hospitalization in October 2018 absolutely changed the way Emily Washcovick saw herself. Today, she's launching Bipolar Brought Balance to slay the stigma surrounding mental health and add her voice to the growing community of mental health advocates. This week, we're talking about regaining trust in yourself after things fall apart, how it's never the JOB of grieving people to educate the non-grieving, and why it's so, so important to set boundaries that honor your mental health. Also this week, I'm talking about how identity changes in the aftermath of loss and reading an excerpt from my new book, Permission to Grieve.

A serendipitous vision board party plus a continued conversation with god brought her to a place where she actively chose and decided to come back. Today, we're talking about how we can visualize a different reality in the aftermath of loss, how loss of faith is like falling out of love with god, and why Miami is on a mission to end gun violence through Bullets 4 Life. Also this week, I'm talking about what it means to have permission to feel and sharing a passage from my new book Permission to Grieve.

"Soldier on" was Hope Edelman's coping method for the sudden death of her mother until seven years later, a broken engagement brought her mother's death roaring to the surface. Hope started writing her New York Times Bestseller Motherless Daughters as a way to comprehend her loss and connect with other motherless daughters. Today we're talking about how death makes us crave truth and clarity, why it's so important to "add the middle" to our stories, and what other cultures have to teach us about grief and loss. Also this week, I'm reminding you that permission to grieve is a practice and reading an excerpt from my new book Permission to Grieve.

Also this week, I'm talking about WHY having permission to grieve is so important and sharing an excerpt from my new book Permission to Grieve.

Sarah Nannen got the worst news of her life on a sunny day in 2014: her husband, Reid, had been killed in a military aviation accident. With four kids in tow, Sarah began walking the unexpected road of widowhood. Today, we're talking about how the reality of death in the military often looks like "compartmentalizing the elephant," how breaking the news of a death to kids is really the first of many conversations, and how faith in the aftermath of loss is more about actively hoping than it is about any religious doctrine. Also this week, I'm sharing the concept of self-abandonment and reading a passage from my new book Permission to Grieve.

After two miscarriages and the unexpected stillbirth of her daughter, Dorothy, Rachel conceived and delivered her daughter Frances.

Christina Rasmussen had a master's degree in counseling and psychology, but nothing prepared her for the death of her 35-year-old husband in 2006. One snowy day, after running after the mailman to claim her undelivered mail, she realized that she needed to consciously DECIDE to come back to life after loss. This week, we're talking about her book Second Firsts, why Christina believes devastating loss should be a qualification for anyone leading a support group (it's often not), and why we should all be more selfish in our coming back process. Plus, I'm reading an excerpt from my brand new book, Permission to Grieve, which is live TODAY on Amazon.

Modern Loss founders Rebecca Soffer and Gabrielle Birkner are members of the "Women With Dead Parents Club." Rebecca's mom died after a car accident and her dad had a heart attack while traveling abroad. Gabi's father and stepmother were murdered in a robbery when a recently released methamphetamine addict was sent to their home to make what should've been a run-of-the-mill home repair. Rebecca and Gabi met and created Modern Loss, a multimedia platform for sharing candid stories about life after loss. Through their book, website, and live events, they're sparking powerful and unconventional conversations on grief... and beginners are most definitely welcome. This week, we're talking about how ANY moment can be a trigger for grief, the surreal feeling of being an adult orphan, and why the time for pretending to be perfect is over. Also, I'm answering a listener question about living in despair.

After Marlie Rowell's husband took his own life, she became a suicide widow. Her art project and website Suicide Widow Etiquette sheds light on the shamed, hidden conversation surrounding suicide. We're talking about how we must "feel to heal," how secrets keep us sick, and, my favorite... the refrigerator analogy of grief. Marlie is also sharing her suicide etiquette tips for friends and family of those grieving a suicide. Also this week, I'm reminding you of my BONUS online grief support group happening Monday, July 8 at 8:00pm Central Time.

Just six weeks after a family vacation, Richard Pryor received word that his 27 year old son, Richie, died in his sleep. For the next year or two, Richard was caught in what he refers to as the "loop of grief," watching videos of his son and trying to fix the griefs of the people around him. Attending a seminar where the speaker talked about focus and meaning got the ball of Richard's new identity going, calling him to focus on positive memories of his son and work towards making meaning of the loss of his child. This week, we're talking about taking the butterflies, clouds, and rainbows out of grief, taking the initiative to go to therapy as a grieving man, and what happens when people think they possess the rights to your grief. Also this week, I'm answering a listener question about starting to feel normal again after a loved one dies.

People have a lot of misconceptions about grief professionals—one of the biggest being "They know all about grief, so loss is easy for them!" Nothing could be further from the truth. This week, I'm speaking to Cole Imperi, a dual-certified thanatologist about the grief of grief professionals. She's sharing her experience of the death of her sister in March 2019, how practices like Americanized yoga have "sucked the death" out of healing modalities, and what it truly means to be a death companion. Also this week, tips and tricks for ending the torture cycle of replaying the final moments before a loved one's death.

After his son, Jonathan, died unexpectedly, R. Glenn Kelly faced grief in a myriad of places, including at work. He's since taken his loss to conferences, businesses, and keynote presentations across the country to share the importance and financial significance of honoring workplace grief. We're talking about workplace indifference regarding grief, best practices for employers and coworkers, and how to get employers to invest in care for the bereaved. Also this week, what courage REALLY looks like in grief. Hint: It has nothing to do with "being strong."

He's sharing his list of favorite books and podcasts for cultivating empathy as well as some of his go-to self-talk phrases for reminding himself of his worth, love, and enough-ness in the world.

Susan Angel Miller's daughter died suddenly after being diagnosed with a rare form of childhood brain cancer. Not four years later, Susan was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery—and the parallels to her daughter's experience are incredible. Susan's book Permission to Thrive recounts the experience of her oldest daughter's death, Susan's experience of having a brain tumor, and the concept of post-traumatic growth, which she is actively harnessing in her process of "coming back." Today, we're talking about how grief is AWKWARD, why Susan never stopped speaking her daughter's name, and how the miracle of organ donation introduced them to a woman named Trish. Also this week, the weird phenomenon of "temporarily unable to see rainbows" that grievers often face.

J Mase III lost his father, grandmother, and job in 2012. His new book And Then I Got Fired: One Transqueer's Reflections on Grief, Unemployment & Inappropriate Jokes About Death is an exploration of his grief as well as a love letter to other trans people experiencing loss. We're talking about how death is the ultimate abandonment, how our job as the living is to continue healing after death, and why the pain of black and trans grief often goes unseen. Also this week, I'm talking about the grief of being queer and sharing some personal stories related to my sexuality and the death of my mom.

On Mother's Day 2007, Julie Cluff was driving the car that rolled over, killing two of her six children and injuring a third. Since that day, she has wrestled with the identity of "the mom who lost two children." On this episode of Coming Back, Julie and I are talking about how our losses do and do not define us, how traumatic grief can cause PTSD, and how Julie has shifted her spiritual beliefs to come to terms with that life-changing car accident. Also this week, I'm talking about the weird phenomenon of looking like my dead mom. Do you look like a loved one who has died?

Singer, songwriter, and pianist Neil Davis wrote his single "Not Better" after the sudden death of his father in 2017. We're talking about the power of music to bring us back from devastating loss as well as how we can best "conjure up" memories of loved ones when they're no longer around. Neil is also giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the grief thoughts that created his song, "Not Better" and he's sharing the full track with us in the podcast's credits. Also this week, I'm unveiling some new goals for Coming Back and how you can get access to weekly grief journaling prompts, exclusive audio and video clips from me, and LIVE grief support from me. AND! I'm announcing the winner of my In the Meantime Grief Books Giveaway!!

Jessica Waite's husband, Sean, called her from an airport shuttle... but never got on the plane. Today we're talking about the struggle to get Sean's body home from another country after his death, conjuring up strong "almost final" memories when final memories just don't do the trick, and how we don't have to be good at grief in order to recover. Also this week, I'm recapping my favorite moments from the 2019 Bereavement Cruise and reading an article of "fun funeral facts" that my sister sent my way.

Emily Ruth is VERY in tune with her body. Several miscarriages, the premature birth and death of her twin sons, and an ectopic pregnancy were "tipped off" by dreams, feelings, and premonitions. Today, we're talking about the grief of not being believed by doctors and medical professionals, the slow, painful journey of reclaiming a body that feels like it no longer belongs to you, and the divorce of her first marriage that felt like a death in and of itself. Also this week, I'm sharing the workshop I'm leading on the 2019 Bereavement Cruise: Honoring Secondary Loss.

The death of her premature daughter and the diagnosis of her husband launched Dr. Sharon Prentice into a rage against god. An incredible, unexplainable Shared Death Experience (SDE) rushed her straight into the arms of the universe and opened her eyes to the true nature of god and where she now believes we go when we die. Today Dr. Sharon Prentice is taking us on the journey of her SDE... and talking about how this one moment inspired a new career path and her book Becoming Starlight. Also this week, I'm talking about the weird, intuitive, unexplainable stuff that happens to us in grief—and how we can share those stories with others.

Vivian Nunez was Too Damn Young—too young to lose her mom at 10 and too young to lose her grandma at 21. Now, at 26, she's the founder and creator of Too Damn Young, a website that helps teens and young adults who have lost someone they love. We're talking about creating a personal vocabulary for grief when textbooks fail, coping with the anxiety of waiting for the other shoe to drop, what dating is like as a young grieving person, and how Vivian is making room for Latina grief in a space that is very, very white. Also this week, a quick reminder about Monday's Google Hangout!

Get ready for grief-appropriate language! Alison L. Miller and her husband, Chuck, had a life and a future together. In just three weeks' time, he was dead and sitting in an urn in the passenger seat of her car. Committed to make good on a promise she made to her dying husband, Alison is on an Odyssey of Love driving across the country in a bright pink car so Chuck can find her out on the road. This week we're talking about how the five senses help us process grief, how grief makes us mad at colors, objects, and words, and how even if you think you know all about grief, you're never REALLY prepared to experience loss. Also this week, I'm acknowledging the need for grief to exist outside the labels of "negative/positive."

Alica Forneret's mom was sick for most of her life. But her dad always reassured her that if things got bad enough, he would tell Alica when she and her sister needed to come home. That day came in October of 2016 when Alica's mom died in the ICU. This week, we're talking about how love sometimes looks like control and planning, the power of having people with similar losses around, how you can use your gifts to help someone who's grieving, and where Alica got the idea for her popular Dead Moms Club lapel pins. Also this week, I'm exploring the icky occurrence of using grief to hold other people hostage.

Rabbi Anne Brener stumbled across traditional Jewish mourning rituals as she was preparing for her wedding. Her fascination with these ancient prayers and rituals plus knowledge of psychology and a collection of her own personal griefs called her to deeply explore the world of Jewish mourning and write the book Mourning & Mitzvah: A Guided Journal for Walking the Mourner’s Path Through Grief to Healing . Today we're talking about how God can be described as "a place" for mourners, the unfortunate reality that everybody dies in the middle of a conversation, and how death requires our hearts and minds to jump from a physical relationship to a spiritual relationship. Also this week, I'm talking about the language of grief... and the subtle significance of switching from "is" to "was."

Melissa Lyons is not a grief expert. But her mysterious message-turned-children's-book I Will Always Love You is helping grievers all over the world feel peace, comfort, and even joy after a loved one dies. We're talking about how each of us is served the crappy buffet of grief, what to do when we're charged with a mission from the Universe, and how the emotion of joy gets marginalized in grief. Also this week, I'm digging into those moments when grief makes us feel like a failure.

Catharine H. Murray's middle son, Chan, was diagnosed with a rare and complicated form of leukemia at the heartbreaking age of five. After Western medicine did all it could do, Catharine, her husband, and her three boys moved to a remote cabin in Thailand where Chan spent his final months. Today we're talking about her book Now You See the Sky, a beautiful memoir that recounts the devastating reality of the loss of her child... and how death asked her to "nail her feet to the floor" to stay present throughout. Also this week, I'm acknowledging the reality of relationship loss (divorce, separation, breakup) after death.

Three back-to-back losses left Kate Manser with a severe case of death anxiety. Mortality was lurking around every corner. When the freak death of a friend on Mount Everest marked the fourth death in a short amount of time, Kate had a flash of insight: "I might die tomorrow." This profound statement became the fire under her ass: "If I might die tomorrow, I'm going to build a life I love today." We're talking about how death anxiety feels in the body, how grief makes us diagnose ourselves with not-at-all-real deadly diseases on WebMD, and what Kate calls her, "deathbed meditation." Also this week, I'm sharing my five favorite grief books for 2019.

Katie Huey's dad was fine until he wasn't. A sudden heart attack took him from her family in her early twenties and Katie was plunged into a year of spiraling confusion, compounded by both her and her husband's unexpected job losses. We're talking about Katie's faith (how prayer often looks like gratitude lists), what the experience of grief is like as an introvert, and how her blog, 52 Beautiful Things, changed in the aftermath of her father's death. Also this week, I'm announcing the winner of my In the Meantime giveaway!

Part of life after grief is letting yourself do things you'd think were "silly" or "weird" before. This week, I give myself permission to get nostalgic and revisit my younger self this time of year.

Death didn't exist in Glen Lord's family—at least not in his childhood. After losing his four-year-old son Noah to complications of a tonsillectomy, he found himself angry and lost. Realizing the need for genuine, accurate information on grief, Glen founded The Grief Toolbox and the Walking Through Grief Support Series to connect with others in the midst of loss. Today we're talking about what it's like to grow up in a death-averse home, the three things we need to recover from grief, and the process of "companioning"—something Glen says you can expect on the 2019 Bereavement Cruise. Also this week, a reminder about my upcoming Google Hangout for coping with grief around the holidays.

Herb Knoll walked away from his life after his wife died of pancreatic cancer. In finding little to no support for widowers in books and grief groups, he forged his own path, spending nine years interviewing widowers and experts. The result of his research is his book, The Widower's Journey. This week, we're talking about anticipatory grief and how a number of caregivers fall ill during the caregiving process, what it's like to have losses occur on holidays and birthdays, and what men need in order to grieve. Also this week, I'm talking about serving others in the midst of heartache.

A premonition dream of her daughter's death was became reality in 2009 when Lynda Cheldelin Fell lost her third child, Aly, in a car accident. Shortly after, her husband suffered a stroke leaving him with permanent disabilities. This "double whammy" of grief brought Lynda to a place that she describes as "far more than the '5 Stages.'" Today we're talking about how grief turns us into 2.0 versions of ourselves, how our lives after loss are made up of collateral blessings, and what it's like to go from knowing little about grief to suddenly wearing "grief shoes." Also this week, I'm inviting you to my next Google Hangout where we'll be talking about facing the upcoming holiday season.

Robin Chodak lost her husband to suicide in 2005 and was instantly plunged into a world of myths and misinformation about suicide. Today, we're talking about the complications of grief due to suicide, the burden of saying "suicide is preventable," and what really helped Robin do a 180 in the aftermath of her husband's death. Also this week, I'm sharing my three biggest fears in the wake of my mom's death that I revealed in an interview on Moments of Hope with Lynda Cheldelin Fell.

Peggy Langenwalter and Trish Comer had their respective rugs pulled out from under them when their husbands died. "Widow" became their new, unwelcome reality and dealing with the loss of a spouse became their daily focus. On this first group discussion on Coming Back, we're talking about what it's like to take on the role of a deceased partner, how grief doesn't give a damn about convenience, and how everyone's voices are heard when we welcome grievers to a round table. Also this week, I'm talking about the importance of finding your people and reminding you of an upcoming Google Hangout where you can join me live for a full hour!

Cathy Cheshire wants you to change your mind, AKA the thoughts you think about grief. This week, we're talking about the losses that challenged her to develop mindfulness, including the deaths of her two sons, and the belief that grievers can heal themselves when given the right tools to do so. We're covering what it feels like to be punished for telling the truth about your loss, learning to love the people who could not love us, and how grief work is essentially a practice of "giving people back to themselves." Also this week, I'm talking about the role of intuition in grief and updating you on a recent interview I did.

Seven years of non-stop losses drove Annah Elizabeth to ask, "What makes some people resilient and others crumble under the weight of grief?" That questioning led her to uncover her system of recovering from grief, The Five Facets of Healing. Today we're talking about how we spend the rest of our lives finding resolution for grief, how the second and third year of loss tend to be the hardest to cope with, and how not believing you're healing is a weird part of the healing process. Also this week, I'm announcing my upcoming Patreon Hangout and reserving some time to honor an amazing woman.

A suicide attempt was Barbara J. Hopkinson's wake-up call. In a brief moment, she realized she had a choice to make: live and dwell in her losses or choose the long, hard, road of resilience. This week, we're talking about Barbara's wide array of losses including her 21-year-old son, Brent, her 30-year marriage, and her right eye. We're covering how a lifetime of losses can all feel and look different, how debilitating grief can be, and how coming back is ultimately a choice. Also this week, I'm sharing the introduction of my upcoming book with my private Facebook group Permission to Grieve Launch Team—are you a part of it? Membership closes September 30.

Sharon Ehlers has a logical mind, one that made her skeptical of energy work and healing when it crossed her path in the aftermath of two devastating losses by suicide. Now, eight years later, she owns and operates Grief Reiki, a business that helps people cope with the energy of grief—an energy that affects the body, mind, and spirit. Today we're talking about what Reiki is and how it can help a grieving heart, how Sharon is bringing Reiki on the 2019 Bereavement Cruise, and what skeptics can do to open themselves up to alternative practices like Reiki. Also this week, I'm sharing a gift: my private Spotify playlist for writing, meditation, and grief.

Diane Speer was nine when she was cornered at a memorial dinner by her uncle, who unloaded the traumatic grief of losing his son onto her. From that day on, she was terrified of wakes and funerals. Today, the death her grandmother, the death of her mom, and three near-death experiences (NDEs) have cracked her open to her calling: helping people "transition" from life to death through mindfulness. We're talking about how grief makes us comfortable with death and loss, the role of intuition in grief, and how we can incorporate more self-care into our grief journey. Also this week, I'm watching, following, and reviewing the new Facebook Watch series about a young widow Sorry for Your Loss.

Linda Findlay's daughter, Aubrie, lived for exactly two hours and nine minutes. Aubrie's time on the earth was incredibly short but the impact she left on Linda was profound. What began as a support group to heal from her devastating loss morphed into an aftercare service for funeral homes and a series of books, followed by Linda's biggest undertaking yet—the Bereavement Cruise, now in its third year. She's on a mission to show grievers that joy and grief can coexist. Today we're talking about how rituals change as years go by, how important it is to acknowledge our losses (even when no one else will), and how the Bereavement Cruise got its start! Also on the show, I'm sharing my biggest project to date—a book called Permission to Grieve.

Chelsea Leigh Trescott broke up with a life that wasn't serving her. After leaving home for college, Chelsea found herself in the thick of depression, anorexia, and a string of long-distance relationships—triggered by the massive fear of not living up to others' expectations. Learning to face her loss of identity, connection, time, and self-respect led her to start Breakupward, a movement and coaching practice that encourages men and women to "break up" with the beliefs and people that no longer serve them. We're talking about cutting ties with addiction and disorder, the slow practice of becoming (one day at a time!), and how grief gives us more access to life. Also this week, the relationship between grief and sex—why some people have sex while grieving... and why some people don't.

Michele Neff Hernandez, founder of Soaring Spirits International, wasn't panicked when she found out her husband was hit by a car on his regular bike ride. He was strong and capable. But when he died, her life and the lives of her children were turned upside down. This week, Michele is sharing a suitable alternative to the dreaded, "How are you?," telling a touching story about how her kids continue to grieve, and reminding us of the power of finding loss stories that look like our own. Also on the show, permission to be happy after loss.

Musician Ruth Ungar found out about her dear friend Hubie's death on Facebook of all places. This was her first taste of sudden, earth-shattering loss. We're talking about the healing power of "good clean dirt," what it was like for Ruth to find out about Hubie's death on Facebook (while she and her husband were on tour), and how music creates a beautiful space for all of us to grieve. Plus, I'm sharing The Mammals' magical song inspired by Hubie's death, "When My Story Ends." Also on the show this week, I'm answering a listener question about navigating hospice care for the first time.

Marni Henderson and her sons had just 15 months to make memories and say goodbye after her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Today, we're talking about Marni's decision to pull her sons out of school to spend time with their dying father, what it's like facing big milestones after loss, and one of my favorite books—Second Firsts—that led Marni to get trained as a Life Reentry Practitioner. She's also talking about the annual widow's retreat she leads that's going to Belize this year! Also this week, I'm giving you a grounding question to ask yourself in the aftermath of loss: What is still true about me?

Tara Caffelle lost her ex-husband to suicide in 2015. His death was just one of four others she experienced that year. This week, we're talking about navigating a year of losses, crafting a disclaimer for your grief, and where our loved ones live in our bodies. We're also discussing Tara's brand new book, Grief: A Love Story. Also on the show, I was marinating in suicide this week after the public coverage of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's suicides and came face-to-face with an uncomfortable truth of mine: I don't understand suicide. I'm talking about why I don't understand suicide and why it's crucial that we listen to people who are suicidal.

On an ordinary Monday morning, Debbie Augenthaler's husband, Jim, died suddenly in her arms. On that day, she not only lost her husband, best friend, and life partner, but her dream of having children him, their future plans, their home, and their circle of still-married friends. This week Debbie and I are talking about the layered losses that show up after a major loss occurs, the gifts that loss grants us that we can use to help others, and her new book, You Are Not Alone. Also on the show this week, I'm answering a listener email about being afraid to die the same way her father did—doing what he loved.

After "unhitching" herself from her high-conflict marriage, Sunny Joy McMillan ran... FAR. After three years of running, she was hit with massive grief for her ex-husband and the life she no longer lived. We're talking about the losses we create ourselves (like chosen breakups, moves, and job changes) and how you can never really outrun grief. Plus, she's offering all of my Grief Growers a FREE copy of her book, Unhitched: Unlock Your Courage and Clarity and Unstick Your Bad Marriage. Also on the show this week, I'm letting you know it's okay to grieve the people, places, and things that are wrong for you.

Julia Samuel was fed up with people mentally and emotionally attacking themselves in midst of their grief. So she wrote Grief Works, a book that not only normalizes grief, but reminds us that we all grieve differently. This week, we're talking about the uniqueness of English grief, the reality of feeling grief as an energy in our bodies, and Julia's Pillars of Strength that hold up grievers in the midst of the storm. Also on the show, I'm covering a listener request: anticipatory grief—grieving before a loss occurs.

An everyday activity turned into a nightmare for Megan Devine who watched her partner, Matt, drown during one of their usual "quick dips" in the river. Her community, Refuge In Grief, and new book, It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Meeting Grief & Loss in a Culture that Doesn’t Understand, are powerful beacons for grieving hearts. We're talking about the librarians that live in our brains, the importance of having a will, and the switch from "doing for" a loved one versus "doing in honor" of a loved one. Also on the show, I'm giving you permission to forget in the aftermath of loss.

Candyce Ossefort-Russell went from having a healthy husband to a dead husband in a matter of two months. A bizarre heart-consuming virus was at the root of it all, taking Candyce's husband out of her life forever on Valentine's Day, 1992. Her loss drove her to become a therapist where she sits with others in their darkness and does a boatload of research on the biological science of grief and grieving. This week we're doling out facts for grievers and the people who love them, and talking about handling a grief anniversary on Valentine's Day. Also on the show, I'm talking about recapturing your creativity after a loss.

Darwyn Dave has been dealing with his grief since the age of 10, when his father was shot and killed in the convenience store that he owned and ran. Grief has given Darwyn lots of lenses on life enabling him to see many, many sides to topics like technology, family history, and gun violence. Today we're talking about how grief gives us perspective... and keeps giving us perspective for the rest of our lives. Also on the show, I'm talking about how acknowledgment is not enough—we must take action in order to grow from our grief.

It's so important to feel our shit. But Katie Scoggins had no idea HOW important until multiple car accidents gave her two concussions and a permanently altered brain. We're talking about how hard it is to let go of our "always in control" mentality and why we need to break down our resistance to difficult, raw, and unexpected emotions. Also this week, I'm doing my most swear-word-filled top of the show yet, called "I'm an Asshole; You're an Asshole: Forming Proper Apologies in Grief."

Hospice chaplain and author Kerry Egan lost her father... and her mind. Her dad's loss led her journeying, and she hiked the Camino de Santiago. Her postpartum psychotic break led her inward, where she learned powerful lessons about what's real and what isn't—and why we should validate others' experiences no matter what we believe. Both losses cultivated her ability to be present with others' pain in her work as a hospice chaplain and called her to write two books: Fumbling and On Living. Also on the show, I'm reading a listener email about the importance of letting grievers make their own meaning and finding grief motifs on TV.

Caleb Wilde is not your average undertaker. In fact, he's a sixth-generation funeral director who uses his innate introversion, empathy, and fascination with theology to "be the heart when hearts are broken." He relays his observations in his new book, Confessions of a Funeral Director. We're talking about how capitalism makes us "death amateurs," how grief is a form of worship, and how Caleb feels about bringing his son to work. Also on today's show, I'm talking about crafting an escape plan for your grief.

Karin Holmes miscarried her baby after just six and a half weeks of pregnancy. Her miscarriage and the trauma of a necessary D&C plunged her into the crashing, lonely isolation of an invisible loss where she blamed herself for failing her baby and couldn't figure out how she was supposed to grieve. She's speaking on the uniqueness of miscarriage, what NOT to say to a mother who's miscarried, and her book, How to Survive a Miscarriage. Also this week, I'm talking about how once we grieve, we can't un-grieve... and the idea of grieving with your heart open.

Kimberly Wilson's first major loss occurred in 2012 when her beloved Gramma died. But she was brought to her knees three years later, with the loss of her dog, Louis the Pug. We're talking a lot about importance—the importance of taking time and space to process loss, the importance of memorializing and remembering the ones we love, and the importance of taking REALLY good care of yourself in the midst of grief. Also on the show, I'm highlighting how pet loss is different from—and sometimes more heartbreaking than—the loss of our human relationships.

Fellow grief millennial Morgan Brown was frustrated with people's responses to her grief over her mom's sudden death. She channeled her frustration into regular blog posts that became the foundation for Death Dialogue—her ongoing art installations, workshops, and conversations about death with people who are still living... and her encouragement of conversations on life with those who have died. We're talking about her popular touring phone booth project called "Conversations I Wish I Had" and how frustration with others' grief coping skills can be channeled into fuel to connect with others. Also this week, I'm talking about giving ourselves permission to miss someone no matter how long they've been gone, how long your relationship lasted, or the type of relationship you had.

Joshua Black's life changed forever after a dream of his departed father. He is now a leading researcher on grief dreams, something many grievers have but don't talk about. We're upacking his turbulent relationship with his father, how he views death after having grief dreams, and touching on what all of us can do to become better dreamers. Also on the show, I'm talking about the totally normal phenomenon of becoming aware of your own mortality after a loved one dies.

Harriet Cabelly's dream of the perfect child was shattered when her daughter was diagnosed with neurological deficits at just nine months old. "Why me?" became her mantra. Another medical crisis in her daughter's life challenged Harriet to practice exercising her muscle of resilience and that defining moment in her life laid the foundation for her new book, Living Well Despite Adversity. Also on the show, I answer a listener question about how age determines how we grieve and how much about death and loss we can comprehend as children.

After being flooded with overwhelming joy at her mother's funeral of all places, Dr. Gladys Ato recognized that within all of our goodbyes, there is good. Combining her loss-saturated childhood with her experience as a clinical psychologist and unexpected leader of a closing university, she created her new book, The Good Goodbye, which helps usher all of us into a headspace of reframing loss for good. Also on the show, I unveil my latest project that YOU can support! Coming Back is now on Patreon.

Eileen Doyon lost her mom and brother when she was 23, but grief didn't really hit her until she watched her father die from lung cancer in her early fifties. The depth of losing him launched her into a dark place where she landed on writing as her way through. She's since published a series of books called Unforgettable Faces and Stories that gives others space to tell their own stories of heartbreak and loss. Also on the show, a listener can't cry after the death of her brother. And I talk about going home after loss.

Alexia Leachman of The Fear Free Childbirth Podcast lost her mom at 30. This loss sent her on a massive personal journey, where she ended up learning the tools and techniques that helped address her fears around becoming a mom herself. She's since been on a mission to help other women unlock their fears of pregnancy and childbirth. We'll touch on the reality of "being a mom without a mom." Also on the show, a listener wants to know the most common challenge in overcoming grief, and I talk about how grief is like an involuntary scavenger hunt.

Also on the show, I talk about the popular question of dealing with aging parents. And I address the invisible pressure of learning something from your grief.

Lila B never expected her boyfriend's Type 1 Diabetes to kill him. But when he didn't come home from the supermarket one day, she was devastated when a search and rescue mission found him in the lake behind their house. She'll guide us through her "pink light" visualization for grievers and we're talking about her meditation podcast, Daring to Be Happy. Also on the show, I answer a listener question about letting go of personal belongings after a loss. And I talk about a coaching session where I used an autumn visualization to release pain associated with grief.

What is love? NYT Bestseller The Five Love Languages was written to help us understand how to express and experience love through five set "languages": receiving gifts, words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. The book was aimed at romantic couples, but for this episode of Coming Back, we're exploring how The Five Love Languages relates to grief—if you're grieving... or if you LOVE a griever!

Courtney Violet Bentley, host of Fit, Fierce, and Fabulous Podcast wrestled with anorexia, bulimia, and a toxic "lack of" mentality after losing her father and grandfather. When her grandmother died, she decided enough was enough and challenged herself to find the joy in life, rediscovering her body, her spirit, and her personal power. Also on the show, I answer a listener question about trouble sleeping after a dog dies. And I have a special message for the romantic/intimate partners of grievers.

She gave birth to her stillborn daughter just one month later. We chat about "what not to say," the power of storytelling, and two of Christina's favorite authors, Cheryl Strayed and Brené Brown. Also on the show, I answer a listener question about not getting to say goodbye before a death. And we talk about the importance of holding space for other people's stories of grief, loss, and trauma.

Spirituality + grief! Have you heard of inherited grief—grief that literally gets passed down through generations? What do the Black Lives Matter movement, the Trump election, and your childhood have to do with it? Also on the show, I get super-deep with a listener who asks about losing soulmate love. And I talk about a deceptively dangerous practice known as "spiritual bypassing."

After losing her best friend and former fiancé to suicide within three years of each other, Sharon Ehlers overhauled her life and turned Reiki and The Grief Recovery Method®, her most valuable healing tools, into a full-time business that helps others through loss. Talk about fusing the spiritual and the practical! Rituals, dreams, chakras, and more. Also on the show, a LGBTQ listener wants to know how they should interact with their bigoted family at a loved one's funeral. And I talk about a grief phenomenon known as "the aftershock."

"Just keep busy." "Time heals all." "You have to be strong for your family." These are just three of The Grief Recovery Method's Six Grief Myths—phrases that sound helpful, but really aren't. Also on the show, a listener is concerned about others who literally count the days since their loss happened, and I talk about one of the not-so-obvious losses we experience post-grief—our voice.

Grief is WILD! A series of major moves and the breakup of a seven year relationship were trail markers on Iris Rankin's path to personal transformation. We dive deep into the "losses we consciously create"—like moving, breaking up, and choosing to leave our comfortable lives. Also on the show, I'll answer a listener question about turning racing, self-defeating thoughts into self-love and I'll talk about the importance of ritual through the lens of the one year anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

What can we say or do to comfort the grieving? Is "I'm sorry," really enough? A listener asks if it was normal to grieve their father before he actually died. And I give my honest thoughts on a recent New York Times piece about a Canadian man who planned and attended his own wake.

Documentary filmmaker and storyteller Arielle Nóbile was forcibly hospitalized after a post-9/11 mental breakdown. A listener asks how to respond (NICELY!) to the dreaded "How are you?" And I review Sheryl Sandberg's new book on grief: Option B.
