My Story. My Purpose.

My Story, My Purpose

 

Episode Introduction: 

"If you do not deal with grief, the grief will deal with you"- Herdyne Mercier

Have you had childhood experiences that changed your life forever? Most of us quite have. Back when I was a kid, I found funerals to be a very difficult time for people. I could see church members not crying, individuals trying to stop whoever cried and giving them lessons. I wanted to keep going back to funerals because, indirectly, though, I was creating the don't-do lists inside my mind, making myself aware of all that brought you to that state of pain. 

Somewhere down the lane, I realized I had to keep going back to this. I share with you today how the seed of helping others going through pain was planted in my mind. Listen in!

My life's purpose is not to be perfect, not to have all the answers but to walk on water by living in faith.

Lies Told About Grief

Lies Told About Grief

Episode Introduction: 

 

Whatever the cause of your grief may be, our society has never taught us how to reply to people who are hurting, what to say when people are hurting. Acknowledging the hurt is often never done. 

We have all come across statements like “Time Heals”, “Just give it time”, and the like. Do you not think it is easier said than done?

If you have also believed that showing no sign of weakness should be the goal of a griever, it’s time you give your thoughts a makeover. Know that it is okay to grieve, to express what you feel. 

Today, let’s bring the change by correcting our present and not blaming the generation before us. Listen to the keys to starting this revolutionary change, as I share them with you today-

  1. Start feeling your emotions.
  2. Stop replacing the loss with unhealthy activities. 
  3. Grieve in a community and not alone.
  4. Stop putting a timeframe on your grief experience. 
  5. Stop believing that you must be strong for yourself, your children, or anyone in the community. What you really need to do for the community is show up, unapologetically.
  6. Be still, pause, give yourself the time to grieve.

Welcome to Redefining Grief

Episode Introduction: 

“Unresolved grief is the root of why you’re not emotionally healthy.” - Herdyne Mercier

Welcome to The Redefining Grief Podcast. This is the place where I help you complete your relationship to the pain, isolation, and loneliness caused by loss. 

Many of us do not understand that grief is a natural and normal process that accompanies any negative happening. Learning that in our society we have not been taught how to deal with grief or support those individuals who are grieving, I decided to redefine our journey through grief.

According to John W. James, “We are taught how to gain things but never taught what do when we lose them”. My mission is for this podcast is to address the ways people grieve as well as how you can support grievers.

The Redefining Grief Podcast is designed to educate and empower grievers and those who are supporting grievers. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Grief Specialist, I provide practical advice with necessary action steps for grief recovery. 

I want you to remember today that though life is not perfect, it still must be lived. Join me every Tuesday as I help you navigate through the grief and losses you are to encounter in life!
