Darren Bennett: Covid, Crisis, and Christ

Darren Bennett
Episode Introduction
Losing someone dear to you always brings inexplicable misery. In those deteriorating times, it is only justifiable if you ask for some space to grieve the process. But how would you imagine the situation to be when the death of someone close to you becomes a worldwide affair?
Shannon Bennett was a hugely respected and admired cop who died contracting COVID. In this podcast, Herdyne Mercier talks to his brother, Darren Bennett, who expands on his overwhelming journey through grief.
In the middle of the global pandemic, Darren lost his brother, who was also one of his closest best friends. Shannon was 39 and healthy, and Darren just took for granted that he would make it through the illness. He could not go see him or be with him; he was isolated. Shannon loved people and poured into his community and family. Considering all the impact that he had on them, Shannon’s death was painful for the entire community.
As everyone was trying to get over the trauma, the VSO Deputy sheriff then publicized this without asking for the family’s permission. A week later, there were hateful words spoken by the former chief police and many others, who taunted Shannon for being a gay policeman.
Darren shares with us that it cannot be that anyone can understand your grief. Losing his brother amid a global pandemic, isolated, and facing the wrath of some people’s hate, is not very understandable to many.
To deal with the myriad and magnitude of his grief, faith helped. Being a pastor, Darren and his family found a lot of sustenance in God’s Word and the scriptures. Darren’s book, “I’m My Brother’s Keeper” was his way of honoring his brother. He says it was therapeutic and helped him get out of the basement of grief. He could put all the pain and the grief and the frustration and even the anger on paper. The book is about how love-filled the gap between an openly gay cop and a conservative evangelical preacher and that in the end, love always wins.
Tune in to the episode to hear Darren’s story in his words.

Darren and his family reside in North Miami Dade so they understand the unique opportunity they have to infuse the message of the gospel to a very culturally diverse demographic.

Trina Casey: Grief and Emotional Intelligence
Thursday May 21, 2020
Thursday May 21, 2020
Trina Casey
Episode Introduction
Do you feel you have been abandoned in life? If yes, why were you brought to that unimagined extreme? Healing required Trina Casey to say good-bye to the dream of what was supposed to be the relationship with a mother who might be ready to love, support, and care for her in an emotional matter.
In today’s episode, I am joined by my dear friend Trina, who is a thought leader. She is the creator of This Real-life Books, is a certified family trauma professional, CBT coach, children’s book author and EQ based Educator. Trina has taught all over the world. She currently resides and teaches in Amsterdam, and has lived and taught in Italy, Indonesia, and all over the US.
Trina had a passion for writing at a young age and uses her inner child to tap into her imagination to write children’s books that focus on teaching Emotional Intelligence. She created This Real Life Books with the encouragement of her son, who loved the bedtime stories she told him every night to help him deal with the self-doubt caused by bullying in school. All of the stories would give him practical tools to deal with the problems he faced at school while retaining a positive view of himself. He soon was able to speak his truth not only to his peers but also to the teachers who were not giving him the support he needed. It was then; she decided Teaching EQ would be her purpose!
Trina’s mom had a harsh past. She went through a lot of trauma herself and that translated into her parenting style. She had seen poverty, was an introverted person and on top of that, had an abusive father. Her mom left because of the abuse. And she could never really got over that. Also, she had Trina when very young.
All this caused Trina to think she wasn’t lovable. She started to resent her physical experience even, because she was reminded of her mother- they looked alike. It was when she was 12 or 13 that she stayed with one of her friends’ in her house that she realized how a mother’s love showed in her nurturing and caring. She recollects, “It wasn't about having clothes, it was about getting hugs and contact and being told that I was great.”
Trina was always in contact with her mother and that also helped him in the healing. Because she gave validation to their emotional state and gave them space. She also talks about Buddhism and how that helped her in the journey forward. It helped her find the center of her mind for herself and relax.
Tune in today to hear her story in her own words. Also, learn how you could view your sufferings of the past and bring up your kids in the best manner possible!

Sybrina Fulton: Heartbreak to Social Change
Tuesday May 19, 2020
Tuesday May 19, 2020
Sybrina Fulton
Episode Introduction
The death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a violent confrontation in the February of 2012 has made Sybrina, a household name. She developed a foundation in his honor called the Trayvon Martin Foundation, out of the need to bring awareness to end senseless gun violence and strengthen the families through holistic support and mentoring. She holds an annual retreat where she honors and empathizes with the pain of the mothers of children killed by gun violence.
Sybrina joins me on this episode of Redefining Grief today. She shares her deep grief story with us sharing also how she pulled herself out from the darkness to take action for others. Listen in for a mother’s take on justice for her late son and advice for people who have to face racism in one form or the other in life.
Sabrina shares that in the beginning, she tried to run away from it all. She says a lot of people try to protect themselves from their bad days but that those are just like the weather, you can't stop them from coming. You have to allow yourself to have them. She also shares that the hole in her heart for her son will always remain.
To move forward, she had to constantly work on something. She decided she did not want to be depressed and tried to move on with life. She started reaching out to moms and created a circle of mothers experiencing some of the same feelings that she did. This took some of the pressure off of her chest. Trusting God again helped her make the move forward.
To anybody raising a black kid in America, Sybrina says there’s the need to have that talk with them. We have to make them know that some people will judge them by the color of their skin, that there are hateful people in the country, and there are people that will shoot and kill you because of the color of your skin. Not because they really know you or you did something to them, but simply by the color of your skin. We need to face the truth, not to live in fear, but to be aware and have faith in God.
Sybrina says that this is not just a black and white thing, that it is about right and wrong. Regardless of what race you are, murder is wrong. It’s wrong to not hold the person not accountable. Justice to her is also the fact that the person who shot Trayvon was arrested, even though he was not prosecuted.
Listen in to learn how Sybrina finds her way forward talking to other people going through the same thing and making them feel comfortable and safe in the community.

Kara Vaval: Why I Had to Leave A Good Man?
Thursday May 14, 2020
Thursday May 14, 2020
Kara Vaval
Episode Introduction
Allow your heart to break. Go through it. Because getting on the other side is so beautiful. And in the process, know that you are absolutely worth fighting for!
Join me on this episode of Redefining Grief as I interview Kara Vaval, President and founder of Vaval Law, formerly the Vaval Injury Law Group. Kara practices mainly in the areas of Personal Injury Land Family Law. Kara is a dedicated attorney and counselor of law. Understanding that the attorney-client relationship is based on trust, respect, and confidentiality, Kara is committed to providing her clients with quality legal representation and counseling combined with unparalleled client service. In addition to practicing law, she is a published author, motivational speaker, and empowerment coach with a passion to inspire and empower everyone she comes in contact with.
Kara shares her life story with us today. It was on November 9 1996, that her father was brutally murdered. The shock that came to the family cannot be described in words completely. Her mother was 40, traumatised and immovable. Her dad, she recalls, was an incredible human being. That is one of the reasons why she is roaring today- because she has always been chasing this ideal of being even half the human he was. His death left her mother completely disoriented. Her kids were only 17, 14, and 5 years old and they needed her.
She had considered herself a victim for most of her life. She couldn’t get close with people, She had to value herself. After her divoce with her ex-husband, Kara shares how she feels lighter. She says she left a good man. And she did it because she had to value herself over anybody else. This is a major learning- when you decide to put yourself over anything and anyone else, life happens. She believes sticking onto the marriage “for” the children does not do them any good. It’s because when you are not happy, you cannot expect your children to be happy with you either.
Kara constantly reminds us that you can always make choices and change your mind for the better. Tune in today and learn Kara’s journey through grief!

Tanya King: I Was Here
Tuesday May 12, 2020
Tuesday May 12, 2020
Tanya King
Episode Introduction
Liberation is that ultimate state where you are off of your agony and pain. Today, we talk about the obstacles and hardships one has to conquer to get to this place after grief. In this episode of Redefining grief, Herdyne interviews Tanya King, life coach and founder of Derailed in Life.
Tanya King is a role model to all those who are uncertain about stepping out of their comfort zones. She quit her job as a nurse to pursue something she was passionate about- changing lives. Tanya had to deal with several obstacles before she could discover her purpose in life.
We learn today her experiences in life and what led her into pursuing the path she is now traversing. Tanya had fallen out of a twenty-two-year-old relationship. Getting over it, Tanya learned significant life lessons. She narrates the painful time going through her divorce- it was grieving the story's loss, she says. Speaking on the importance of not giving up your focus at moments of despair, she says, "I don't have to manipulate anything; I don't have to move anything. All I have to do is to have complete focus, and surrender and have faith that he's got it."
The interpretation of grief depends on the perspective we chose to view it from. You can choose to experience it or not. It's based on our philosophy and the meaning we get from what's happening.
Tanya reveals the emotional baggage she had to let go of to arrive at that place of restoration. "I had to let go of the lies and the perspective that I wasn't serving anyone." Today, she also talks about the book "The Little Souls and the Sun" by Donald Walsch and how it influenced her to come to a state of acceptance.

Samantha Jean Washington
Episode Introduction:
“My mother used to put me on the cheese grater – the sharpest part of it, the one with the little teeth sticking out. This sounds like I made it up, but no. I would be on my knees, arms like this crossed across my chest.”
A mother is the very being who breathes life into you. She is hailed, revered and worshipped for being an epitome of love, sacrifice and tenderness. But what if she happens to cause you more trauma and abuse than any known individual?
Samantha Jean joins Herdyne in this episode of Redefining Grief and expands on her traumatizing past. Talking of her mother, she says "There was no hugging. There was no ‘I love you.’ We were just there." She makes understand that the opposite of love is not always hatred. The opposite of love could be indifference.
She grew up around a lot of violence – emotional, physical and verbal. The relationship she had with her mother was that of abuse. Her mother used to put her on the painful part of a cheese grater, down on one knee. Her hips and knees used to hurt – it was ugly. On top of all this, there was an emotional distance between them.
Samantha struggled to find a means for escape – she tried sports, and even joined the army. But fitness was just a mask that she used to conceal the festering trauma underneath- one that kept haunting her, following her.
Today, she is a trauma-informed personal and group trainer and founder of the company Mended fitness. Her intention is to provide a safe place for trauma survivors to train their mind and body to break free from the shackles of their past.
Today's episode is her narrative of rising from the ashes. If you are someone who feels that trauma never completely faded from your life, this episode might just transform your life.

Tuesday May 05, 2020
Jeri Lyn Wash
Episode Introduction
In this episode, Herdyne interviews Jeri Lyn Wash, a mom, leader, and wellness preacher. We discuss policing grief and review why as humans, we hurt, and that's different for everyone.
Jeri Lyn Wash is a woman who wears many hats. She finds her purpose in being a mother, community leader, mentor, author, and business owner. Amidst her healing of her mother's tragic passing, she founded her organization called "Missing Our Mothers Inc." which is a haven for any and everyone who's experienced the loss of a mother and is searching for a community of understanding. She birthed "Just Jeri "(the Life/Grief Coach and Motivational speaker) with immense success. With this platform, she's providing tools of understanding, compassion, and trusted techniques that one can use to guide them through the grieving process.
Jeri recalls herself as a happy-in-love person who was about to get married in early 2016. A miscarriage left her shattered, and she started developing problems with her fiancé leading to their breakup. After all the loss that year, Jeri received a call from her sister a day before thanksgiving saying her mom didn't make it through the emergency heart surgery. Following this, Jeri went into a deep depression, also leaving her job in jeopardy.
When her 7-year-old daughter asked her to get out of bed and stop being sad all day, saying her grandma wouldn't want her to be that she realized she needed help. 4 months after her mother's death, she went for counseling and understood she had situational depression.
Two weeks before mother's day, she felt God was asking her to brunch on mother's day and miraculously came up with a name - "missing our mothers." Jeri talks about how on mother's day, 21 people came for her brunch and ultimately found her life's purpose.
Both Herdyne and Jeri have an intrigued curiosity about grief and death. They want to be funeral directors and have a gift to heal other people's grief.
There is peace after pain, and it's okay not to be okay. Tune in to this episode to hear the complete story!

Redefining Grief Pearls of Wisdom, P.O.W., Questions
- What have you found to be your truth? [40:38]
My truth is just in knowing that I'm going to have good days, and I'm going to have bad days. But my good days outweigh the bad days. My truth is helping people ministering to people, healing people, in any way because death is not just losing a loved one. There are so many different reasons that people grieve like loss of Finance, loss of a pet, loss of a friendship. So just healing and knowing that God is using me and all the glory goes to God, because there's nothing about Jeri, nothing about me.
- What have you learned about you? [41:54]
What I learned about me was, I was grieving for a very long time, and I didn't know I was unhappy and sad for a long time. And now that I've come to a place where I can recognize it and understand it, I learned that it's okay to not always be okay.

Latoya Mathews: Beauty into Ashes
Tuesday Apr 28, 2020
Tuesday Apr 28, 2020
Latoya Mathews
Episode Introduction
Going through an abortion can be a traumatic experience. It distorts one’s emotional balance and scars one’s mental health. In this episode of Redefining Grief, transformation coach Latoya Mathews opens up about her own personal experience going through an abortion. She shares the challenges she had to face to completely reconcile from her past. From originally being broken, burdened with guilt and shame to ultimately being on a path to restoration, Latoya reveals her inspiring journey of self-healing and rebuilding.
Herdyne gives an introduction to her episode and announces her new masterclass on how to unlock your purpose in life by healing from grief.
Latoya Mathews is an inner healing coach, author, and transformation speaker who specializes in helping women who had abortions. In this episode, she joins Herdyne and reveals her life's truth, sharing that no matter what challenges we pass through, god carries the strength to reconstruct our ashes into beauty. Healing is available to those who are eager to receive it.
Latoya recalls the time she found out she was pregnant. Being a senior in high school, who had two college fellowships, she recognized she would be giving up too much if she hadn’t decided on getting an abortion. She wasn’t in an atmosphere to support a child. She recalls going to the abortion clinic which was crowded with protesters, making it extremely humiliating for her. “And I remember being in that waiting room, feeling so small, waiting for them to call me back for the procedure and being on to fill this paperwork and just being there with no one there".
Latoya talks about the shame and guilt that showed with her judgment. She recalls asking God for forgiveness. “I don’t know if you have ever sat in a room that feels so big, but all of a sudden it felt so small."
She was enlightened with her ultimate quest to rebuilding. She speaks about the pastor that escorted her to self-healing. “And I prayed every night for God to forgive me. Immediately, my pastor told me, God forgave you. God forgave you the very first time that you said that I prayed.”
Latoya talks about the seriousness of establishing a safe space for women who had gone through a similar traumatic past. She describes the consequence of the presence of a proper community in supporting self-healing and improvement. She places emphasis on the importance of openly communicating the concept of abortion.
Latoya reveals her path to strengthening back her relationship with God. “I had to start all over. I had to pray and ask God to give me eyes to see what he saw."
Tune in today to learn more about restoration. For Latoya, "Restoration was releasing those very things that have held you bound, releasing those things that you have held on for too long.”

She is passionate about making a positive difference to affect social change and improving the quality of lives for people in need.
In this episode, Tatiana shares the times going through a crossroad in her life. What she feared the most came upon her 11 years ago, in 2009. Tatiana lost her brother, who was only 25 then.
She grew up in Fort Myers – MSW in Washington University of St. Louis and had big dreams. She expresses how her heart sank when on February 7th the following year, she got a call from her mom’s pastor, who told her that her brother died. She tried to get to happiness without going through the sadness then. She had to deal with the media because her brother and his friend were victims of homicide.
Two months after her brother’s death, she got a call that led her into worry in April. The caller said her mom was in danger at home. The abusive relationship with her dad led her mother into this. He invoked fear through his words and actions. She recalls her dad telling her something in creole since her brother’s death. He said he would tie her waist girdle up because things would be terrible and that she would no longer have a family.
She received another phone call the next day that said her mom was in hospital but alive. Her dad had harmed her to the point of death, and she committed suicide. Tatiana was relieved her mom was safe but being a daddy’s girl; she felt guilty for letting him go through such a tragedy.
Herdyne talks about how Grief is natural, there are conflicting emotions, but we are not taught to deal with them. There is power in questioning, and life review helps to heal. The five grief anchors would always guide you through the darkness.
The duo discusses Tatiana’s famous article as Tatiana shares what she meant by ” nightmares perfected my worship” in her article. She says God helped her through the lens of goodness and gave her enlightenment.
Many of us believe that we shouldn’t love our parents if we have a toxic relationship with them. Tatiana’s love proves otherwise. Tune in to learn how!
