35: Dealing With Loss and Grief

Energy For Life Podcast with Corona Brady

Welcome to Episode 35 Dealing with Loss and Grief. I have personally been moving through a lot of loss and grief in the last couple of months I feel I could write a book about it (and maybe I will one day). We know that change and Loss is a part of life (however we often resists this when it arrives to greet us). The Transformation Cycle begins with a breakdown in our life - it is a period of chaos and inner turmoil - often occurring from a triggering event that happens in our life - it could be the loss of a loved one, a separation/divorce, a change in your financial situation, a loss of job or change in career, empty nest. I want to mention here that even the happy events in life such as having a baby or getting married or getting a new job or creating a business can trigger grief (as we lose our old identity and a new identity is built). And so what follows during this time - is a period of utter grief. And grief can be different for everyone but it usually includes some of the following emotions: sadness, anger, denial, fear, anxiety, despair, bitterness, until finally, the surrender happens and we reach a point of letting go.
