In this live call, I answer a question from Jillian, who has not only gone through the loss of her beloved dad from COVID, but is also helping her two sons to navigate that grief, and now has right side pain. The pain she’s experiencing is a clear expression of the grief she’s not been able to feel in handling all that she has.

No matter who we are or what we’ve lost, grief and loss can get stuck in our bodies. It can be the death of a person, but it can also be the loss of anything else important to us - parts of our identity, an animal, a relationship, a job, a house, or anything else. For all of our wellbeing, knowing how to acknowledge, honor, express, and release grief is one of the most important pieces to staying well. I hope this class is a huge help to all of you!
