About this episode
Loss is not only hard, but it also requires a different level of mental and emotional strength. At times, we cling to the hope that time will somehow ease the pain until it fades away, only to find out years after, that it doesn’t. It only becomes bearable maybe because you got stronger, but the level of pain and sadness of missing what or who you lost is still the same. Why of all the days and months of the year did I pick Thanksgiving day to talk about loss and grief? It’s because on this very day, 7 years ago, I lost my mom, and I never really had the strength to talk about it like this, until today. So I’m speaking to you right now out of the experience and what I intend to give away from that experience is that pain, though it never gets easy, can feel differently. But, what is the essence of feeling differently? What does “different” even mean? Listen in and let’s start looking at pain a little differently, today.
