Bringing Wellbeing to Life - Coping with Loss - 11 - How gratitude can help grieving and living

Bringing Wellbeing to Life - Collective Resilience

‘The ultimate act of gratitude is to live the wisdom they have given us from that moment forward.’ Dr Kerry Howells explains gratitude as a process that connects us to the world through giver, receiver, and gift. She encourages us to notice what we have received and the importance of expressing our thanks – in some way - so that gratitude can flow in the world. Listen as Kerry explains how building gratitude in some areas of life can protect us going through adversity like grief. Kerry says it’s not about trying to cover grief with gratitude, ‘it’s respectfully accepting that grief is there, and that gratitude can help us move through the grief’.
