“Fresh grief is a full contact sport.” @meghan.riordan.jarvis thank you for the podcast interview to be released in September. Don’t miss this, peeps! Subscribe to podcast. Follow: @liveboldlypodcast_with_sarask

Here’s a sneak peek! Two tools to help you👇, because we all walk the journey of grief and loss at some point in our lives. Whether through divorce, heartbreak, career loss, death, etc. we gotta feel it to heal it.

1) Give yourself 7-active minutes of messy crying while releasing your pain. Set a timer if you’d like. Let it go! And then replace that pain with self kindness.

2) Imagine your heart is a sponge and you’re wringing it out. Now wring harder! The water represents your tears. Cleansing is so, so important.

Now, to whomever left me a beautiful gift at my doorstep.. THANK YOU. I will treasure this plaque forever. I feel mom through you, too.

Please, go spread kindness today and everyday.

Tag someone you love. Let’s start here.👇

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
I believe in you / us .. always.

It's very difficult to come to terms with the permanence that accompanies losing something or someone very important to you. The feeling of pain can be overwhelming, all-consuming and just downright scary.

After the loss of my mother a little over a month ago, I've been navigating my own grief journey and had the opportunity to speak with Kelly Huggins, clinical social worker and grief counseling specialist, for this week's podcast episode.

Here are 5 takeaways I'd like to share:

1. Your grief has no timeline. There are actually not 5 stages of grief like you may have been taught. Each experience is unique and there is no timeline or pattern that your grief needs to follow.

2. Grief is not linear. There are ups and downs and steps forward and back-slides...and that is okay. Sit with your emotions and allow yourself to feel the deep feelings in the moment.

3. Sometimes there is unfinished business. In the episode, Kelly gives a really helpful tool to process the things unsaid or undone after the passing of a loved one.

4. Stay open to a relationship with your loved one beyond death. Learn to be present and aware. They may remain closer than you think.

5. It's helpful to share your journey - for yourself and for others. Allow others to sit and be present in the pain with you. It's okay to talk about hard things. It's okay to be seen. It's okay to show emotion.

I encourage you to listen to this episode if you're struggling with grief or if you know someone who is. Kelly has so much helpful insight in supporting yourself or others in the grief process.

And remember, grief accompanies everything from death, to divorce, career loss, friendship loss, etc.

Car packed this morning, I turned on music and this song played. So dad and I danced. We danced a few times over the three weeks that I was home. On the deck. In the kitchen. Now the driveway. My family is something I won’t ever take for granted. Our strength and resilience through the hard times; mom and dad taught us well. The importance of connection and the bond that holds like glue, regardless of our differences.

As I’m writing this, driving back to California, I invite you to feel into what is truly important in YOUR life, too. Where can you lead more aligned from your own heart? What makes you happy? Where can you let go of your own past? Learn? Grow? Heal? Grieve? Love? Where can you be more HONEST with yourself, first? And then others?

Share your thoughts below. ⬇️

Personally, I intend on living ALL OUT in this second half of life! In love. Light. Excitement over fear. Beware .. I am my only Mama’s Daughter. 😘 And proud to be so.

What makes a workable family bond? (A family does not have to be blood. It can be whatever calls to you.)

What makes a family bond work is the messiness + stickiness created by authentic conversation not pushed under rugs. The truth that’s brought to light, even when it pains. A workable family bond is glued together in forgiveness + unconditional love entrenched in faith that you were born into this community of family to be seen, heard, and held, through thick and thin. Not because you are like the others, but because you aren’t. In this space, you bring out the best in one another.

It’s a bond that makes you want to show up. Even when you don’t want to.

This is family. Create what works for you.

What does family mean do you? ⬇️
