S3-E21: Grief, The Pathway To A Richer Life

What’s your pacifying behavior? That behavior that attempts to soothe your unpleasant feelings but doesn’t truly address the root cause of your pain. What do you run to to avoid what you don’t want to face? As I watch how this world is imploding on a global scale, this conversation couldn’t be more timely. Collectively, we are acting out – some of us rushing headlong into busyness and others caught in a cycle of despair with every breaking news report. So many losses! In today’s episode, Grief Coach Herdyne Mercier and I have a constructive conversation about how to navigate loss. First, exposing those pacifying behaviors for what they are. Secondly, giving us anchors, two of which are sitting in silence and hunkering down. While it is true we don’t know how long it will take for things to settle down, we can outlast difficult times and come out better.
