Celebration of Sisters

As I Live and Grieve

Send us some LOVE!

When the unimaginable happens, and we lose those dearest to us, the journey through grief can be a solitary and complex path. It's a raw and vulnerable experience that Judy Lipson knows all too well, having lost both her sisters, Margie and Jane. She joins us today to share her poignant story of how suppressed sorrow can emerge after many years, and the profound strength she discovered in finally embracing her grief. Through her compelling narrative, Judy opens up about her transformative journey — from the depths of despair to finding solace and empowerment in creating the Celebration of Sisters ice skating fundraiser and authoring a book that delves into the heart of her grieving process.
As we traverse the terrain of sorrow, the episode sheds light on the often overlooked and unique agony of sibling loss. Judy's testament to the power of coping strategies — like orchestrating a heartfelt memorial event and pouring emotions into writing — offers insight into the healing that can be found in honoring loved ones. We also discuss the significance of self-care, the necessity of allowing oneself to grieve in individual ways, and the solace that can be found in shared experiences through support groups or therapy. Our conversation serves as an open invitation to all who are navigating the murky waters of loss, reminding us that we are not alone, offering comfort, and underscoring the importance of community and mutual support in times of profound sadness.
