These are not just mundane tasks, but they hold significant importance in our lives, whether you've thought about them or not.Before you press end and leave, I invite you to stay tuned for insights into this very interesting and often difficult problem. It's inevitable, and you cannot imagine the profound impact it can have as we navigate grief and support our loved ones whilst doing the two planning sessions.When end-of-life matters are left unaddressed, families can face unexpected rifts and challenges.

Today, we will discuss with our guest, Dr. Julie Kaplow, how we can better support children and adolescents undergoing grief. You'll learn that children's and youth's grief is unique, and it's through Dr. Kaplow's pioneering work has led to the development of evidence-based interventions such as multidimensional grief therapy, or MGT. Dr. Kaplow is an expert in childhood trauma and bereavement, and she is the executive director of the Trauma and Grief Children's Center in New Orleans.I understand that there's a 300-plus-person waitlist for this bereavement care. Now, that has me thinking: If this is just one state and these are the numbers, can you imagine what those waitlist numbers are worldwide?  Here's what we talk about:What is Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT), and how does it help children and teens process their emotions after the death of a loved one?Addressing grief in children of different agesBehavioral changes parents should look for that signal their child needs additional emotional supportSome ways parents can model healthy grieving behaviors for their childrenAnd much more! Connect with Dr. Julie Kaplow!Trauma and Grief (TAG) Center Trainings: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/c5Z2Qlg/TAGtrainingsTrauma and Grief Virtual Learning Library: https://mmhpi.org/work/trauma-grief-center/virtual-learning-library/Trauma and Grief Center | Children's Hospital New Orleans: https://www.chnola.org/services/behavioral-health/trauma-and-grief-center/Children's Hospital New Orleans: https://www.chnola.org/You don't have to grieve alone, as a coach I can help support you.

Send us a Text Message.Hello, and welcome to our podcast today. We will delve into the intriguing world of grief recovery and human connection. In today's episodes, we will explore a fictional book called Making Up the Gods, which is our guest Marion Agnew's latest book. I believe it was released later last year.Making Up the Gods is a book about three grieving strangers: a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic. The book is set as a novel in Northern Ontario, and it will be interesting to see how the author has woven into the guest's journey as each navigates their grief.This is the first time we're delving into grief in a fictional way, and it'll be interesting to see how the author has navigated it. The novel examines the past that can keep us from living in the future, which we know only too well for many of those on our own grief journeys, and how it's so easy to get caught up in the past.I'm interested to see how the twists and turns of this unfold as they release their fears and hopefully teach us how we can release our own and move forward. So, I'm delighted to speak to our guest, Marion Agnew, from Northern Ontario. I'm quite envious that she has Lake Superior in her backyard.This is Marion's second book. Her first one was Reverberations, A Daughter's Meditation on Alzheimer's. Here's what we talk about:Marion's original intentions for the novel and how it evolved to focus on grief.The journeys of a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic as they navigate grief and find connection.The writing process and inspirations.How did writing the novel help Marion gain a deeper understanding of her own grief?And much more! Connect with Marion Agnew!Website: https://www.marionagnew.com/Reverberations: A Daughter's Meditations on Alzheimer's: https://www.amazon.com/Reverberations-Meditations-Alzheimers-Marion-Agnew-ebook/dp/B07ZWJ2WKDMaking Up the Gods: https://amzn.to/45YjawOYou don't have to grieve alone, as a coach I can help support you.

Send us a Text Message.Hello, dear listeners. Thank you for joining us today as we continue our grief journey. Today, we're going to be delving into divorce. And it's a subject I don't know if society or we readily acknowledge that the pain and grief experienced when a marriage ends can often be the same sort of emotions as when there's a death of a spouse or a death of a relationship.And it's not readily recognized that divorce is indeed a death. It's a death of the dreams and hopes the couple had. So, yes, there's the intense pain. Because I don't believe society recognizes it as grief, the person going through a divorce doesn't have the same support or comfort that you would get or expect if it were indeed the death of a person.There are no rituals, no comfort, and limited support. The person going through the divorce can feel isolated and alone. It's not as simple as finding a new partner. The desire isn't for somebody new but for the one we had.So, the journey of divorce is both complex and deeply emotional. And it goes far beyond just seeking a replacement. And if there are children involved, it can create custody battles, and it can be traumatic no matter what age the child is.Now, our guest today, I'm certain, remembers only too well the emotional rollercoaster of grief when his marriage ended 45 years ago.Why discuss this now? Well, listeners, please stay with me; you'll understand more soon. Our guest is Vernon Baumrind, a father, grandfather, and successful businessman in Charlotte, North Carolina.He's also the author of a book called Deceit. It's a true story of domestic infidelity and betrayal with details recorded by a wiretap!  Here's what we talk about:What lessons can readers glean from "Deceit" about recognizing, confronting, and healing from the wounds inflicted by domestic infidelity and betrayal?The emotional pain experienced during divorce compared to other forms of loss.Some common coping mechanisms people use to manage the emotional pain and grief of divorce.How did the legal proceedings between Vernon and his wife shape their family relationships during and after the divorce?And much more! Connect with Vernon Baumrind!Website: https://deceitthebook.com/home-1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deceitthebook/Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/people/Deceit-the-Book/61554718563758/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDhkM8hl-UkTCvkq0GEwi_wDeceit the Book Part 1 (Companion Podcast): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hof1BwQCS_QYou don't have to grieve alone, as a coach I can help support you.

Send us a Text Message.Welcome, listeners, to another episode, as we continue once more our journey to explore the depths of grief, love, and the human spirit. Today, we'll discuss their journey into the award-winning documentary “Meet Me Where I Am” with our guests. The film explores the many nuances and complexities of grief that individuals grapple with. It may be a little word, but it's mighty powerful when it arrives. The film brings together these nuances and, I believe, normalizes grief. To say I'm beyond thrilled is an understatement to have Grant Garry and John Farley with me today! Here's what we talk about:What inspired the creation of the documentary 'Meet Me Where I Am' and its focus on grief? The symbolism of the train metaphor.In what ways does the documentary address the impact of cultural beliefs on the grieving process?The importance of sharing stories and memories of loved ones to honor their lives and find solace in grief.And much more! Connect with Grant Garry & John Farley!Meet Me Where I Am Film: https://www.instagram.com/meetmewhereiamfilm/Grant Garry: https://www.instagram.com/grant__garry/You don't have to grieve alone, as a coach I can help support you.
