Welcome to our second season looking at grief here at Meanderings with Trudy. This time we’ll go through Dina’s book “Grief Unleashed: Moving from the hole in our heart to wholehearted,” chapter-by-chapter. These unscripted conversations are like a dance: we jump around the topic of grief and bereavement in service of deepening our understanding, and our connection to joy.
In chapter three of Dina’s book, we’re looking at the ways that we attend to our broken hearts. In this meander we show the shifts that Dina is still making in her own grief journey. How, after 22 years, she is finally making space for herself in this journey. It is such a beautiful way of appreciating how we embody grief and it nourishes our own experience in the world. And irrevocably changes us in the process.
Invitations:
Out of each episode this season, we are offering people ways to increase their grief literacy. This month, we’re offering an invitation to you to explore how you cope with loss. What tools do you use? Are you an intuitive griever or an instrumental one? Do you take action and do things as you grieve, or do you emote? What happens when you do this?
In the meanwhile, feedback is welcome, so please drop us a note at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.
