SE 72: How to Navigate Through Grief

March 12, 2024 • Laura Busse and Christine Ruth

This Week’s Listener Question:

I lost my mother two years ago and had to be strong for my dad. Now we’re getting close to the anniversary of her death and I’m getting really anxious and angry at everyone who wants to talk about it. How do I deal with this?

SOUL Group Questions:

To build connection with a friend or in your Soul Group, ask each other these questions.

1. Name some of the small and large losses you’ve suffered in the last several years. What emotions have come up for you?

2. How does grief tend to manifest in your body? (chest, neck, throat, back, belly…) What body sensations or muscle tension do you notice you’re carrying?

3. Who are some people you trust who can witness your grief?

4. Christine and Laura shared that mourning is the outpouring of your grief and needs to be witnessed. What holds you back from mourning with others?

5. What are some ways you can discharge the grief held in your body or soul? (sway, run, sing, play music, stretch, meditate, pray…)

May 14, 2024 • Laura Busse and Christine Ruth
