Ep. 82 Grief: What's Your Story? (Part 1)
Manage episode 417121661 series 3394554
The journey of grief, loss, and personal growth is deeply individual and often marked by profound experiences. Ashmeeta's story is a poignant example, having lost both her parents and unexpectedly in 2019, her husband at a young age.
As an expat living in the USA, she understands how grief can create additional stressors around cultural identity and isolation, adding layers of complexity to the healing process.
Yet with an abundance of resilience and raw vulnerability, Ashmeeta shares how she learned to embrace her most difficult losses (her mother and husband) and offers a masterclass to help anyone discover their own resilience and find hope in this two-part interview series.
While much of the discussion focuses on spousal loss, all of what we talk about offers a powerful and impactful discourse to help anyone navigate their grief journey from any form of loss, which is always filled with sorrow and change and embrace their new reality.
In Part 1, we explore the complexities of grief and emotional triggers, and how by understanding your thought process, you can develop greater self-awareness to help you adjust to your new reality.
Note: Part 2 drops May 15th, 2024!
