It probably doesn't come as a surprise to you that we all grief in different ways.

How did you deal with grief and loss in the past ? It's so scary to experience how easy it is to abandon yourself when going through the pain of loss.

Were you able to keep your heart open ?

Did you have a complete meltdown and had to rebuild yourself from scratch ?

Were you able to accept support ?

Were you able to engage in basic self-care practice or did you slide into total self-abandonment?

The loss of a loved one, relationship, job etc is most of the time deeply life altering ..

With much love

Unknown: 00:00:27

excited ambitious.

Unknown: 00:00:36

Ah, I needed to pause for a second it's it's been quite a

Unknown: 00:00:42

while since I posted an episode and I'm very happy to be back

Unknown: 00:00:47

and to connect with you. Not going to bore you with any

Unknown: 00:00:50

details. If you have questions about what happened in my life,

Facebook.

Unknown: 00:01:04

Today I want to talk about grieving madness. Ah, when we

Unknown: 00:01:16

experience loss of a loved one. And I'm pretty sure we all have

Unknown: 00:01:24

experienced that, at some point in our life.

Unknown: 00:01:30

We lost a partner, we lost a relationship we lost grip

Unknown: 00:01:42

on to our sanity, we lost a job we lost an opportunity whatever

Unknown: 00:01:51

it is what we lost. It leaves a void. It leaves us feeling

Unknown: 00:02:02

powerless, helpless,

Unknown: 00:02:05

desperate. And what I realize now is that even if two people

Unknown: 00:02:15

are grieving over the same loss it is a very different

Unknown: 00:02:25

experience for each individual involved. There's some people

Unknown: 00:02:32

who jump into action and to the to dues and to how to organize

Unknown: 00:02:46

and manage and find relief in action to the point that you can

Unknown: 00:02:58

become very restless and then there's people who fall into

Unknown: 00:03:07

deep hole into darkness close to say paralysis many depression

Unknown: 00:03:20

are full on depression a state where it is hard to get up in

Unknown: 00:03:28

the morning. It is hard to take care of yourself. It is hard to

Unknown: 00:03:37

cook food get the garbage out and meet your basic needs. And

Unknown: 00:03:49

the very juicy interesting part is if two people or more people

Unknown: 00:03:56

involved are trying to cope at the same time with the same loss

Unknown: 00:04:03

but have very different tools available and very different.

Unknown: 00:04:10

Like default states so to say. This is drama, madness, Insanity

Unknown: 00:04:26

brewing up when people with different approaches live

Unknown: 00:04:35

together or are really in relationship with each other. It

Unknown: 00:04:43

is very important to find your own way to cope with grief. You

Unknown: 00:04:51

take your time you have your default state you know Do what's

Unknown: 00:05:01

best for you. And it is very important to at the same time,

Unknown: 00:05:09

not abandon yourself. So what I was able to do not every day,

Unknown: 00:05:18

but most of the days was to focus on the very basics.

Unknown: 00:05:26

shower, brush your hair, for the people out there who have long

Unknown: 00:05:31

hair. Maybe you experienced this before that when you feel sad,

Unknown: 00:05:37

depressed, anxious, desperate, you stop taking care of your

Unknown: 00:05:43

hair, you wash it, you brush it, you groom when you feel great,

Unknown: 00:05:53

and as soon as you don't feel good, you start neglecting your

Unknown: 00:05:57

long hair.

Unknown: 00:06:00

You eat poorly, you only snack you let your household kind of

Unknown: 00:06:13

go. You don't engage in the basic cleaning and getting the

Unknown: 00:06:21

garbage out anymore. Everything is hard, everything feels like

Unknown: 00:06:27

a huge drain. So I was paying attention to that whenever I had

Unknown: 00:06:38

thoughts coming up. Now I don't feel like dressing up properly.

Unknown: 00:06:44

Like it's it was minus 20 degrees here at times and I just

Unknown: 00:06:47

said, Fuck it. Let's be cold. I'm just gonna go out and my

Unknown: 00:06:53

night dress and a little jacket. I was able to rein myself in and

Unknown: 00:07:02

to get dressed properly. Just a side example. Same goes for your

Unknown: 00:07:09

dishes, your laundry there was a voice and energy coming up

Unknown: 00:07:17

whispering in my ear. Come on, you can let this go. You don't

Unknown: 00:07:21

have to do laundry now. You don't have to put the dishes

Unknown: 00:07:24

away. And I was able to tell myself No, this is going to make

Unknown: 00:07:32

it even worse if my space is dirty and not orderly. Another

Unknown: 00:07:39

attend cleansed leanness freak and orderliness freak or however

Unknown: 00:07:47

you say that but there is some kind of orderliness and my

Unknown: 00:07:52

household. If I let that go, it's going to make me feel even

Unknown: 00:07:59

worse. And then there's people that reach out and want to

Unknown: 00:08:09

support you. And some people are very supportive, and check in on

Unknown: 00:08:16

you and share words of comfort with you. And then there's

Unknown: 00:08:24

people who approach you and say things that are very

Unknown: 00:08:31

insensitive, and make it even worse because you think, oh,

Unknown: 00:08:36

okay, I'm gonna open up to that personnel and then they open

Unknown: 00:08:39

their mouth and you feel even worse afterwards. And to find

Unknown: 00:08:46

out okay, what what feels good right now? And what are you not

Unknown: 00:08:50

ready to hear right now. Then there's people that you think

Unknown: 00:08:55

you can count on for support, and they are dealing with their

Unknown: 00:08:59

own life with their own stuff, and they cannot be there for you

Unknown: 00:09:04

and to not, again, abandon yourself and think that those

Unknown: 00:09:10

are bad people, selfish people. Write to to go even deeper into

Unknown: 00:09:17

victim mentality. Because of other people's behavior, is also

Unknown: 00:09:23

a very easy thing to do and to refrain from that takes

Unknown: 00:09:29

awareness.

Unknown: 00:09:32

And then there's people out there who out of nowhere offer

Unknown: 00:09:38

you the greatest support and time and energy and

Unknown: 00:09:43

you feel resistant to accepting it because you don't know if you

Unknown: 00:09:48

can give back and to keep your heart open and to receive that

Unknown: 00:09:54

support. can feel very counterintuitive at times but it

Unknown: 00:10:00

It's very worth it to accept it and to keep your heart open. And

Unknown: 00:10:06

then there's people who offer support where you think, but I

Unknown: 00:10:10

don't need that kind of support. But to know that we're all

Unknown: 00:10:18

together in this and to see that this is a person offering

Unknown: 00:10:24

support from their map of the world, they want to connect,

Unknown: 00:10:29

they want to be supportive, even though it's not really something

Unknown: 00:10:38

that you need at this point, but it

Unknown: 00:10:41

feels good. Be open to receive it. Be open to see that there's

Unknown: 00:10:52

so many people out there who love you and want to support you

Unknown: 00:10:56

and feel your pain.

Unknown: 00:11:06

I just want to feel into this a little. And find out if there's

Unknown: 00:11:11

more I want to share. Yeah, I think what I want to share is

Unknown: 00:11:19

that we're all going through loss at some point in our lives,

Unknown: 00:11:27

and you cannot be prepared for it. Because most of the time it

Unknown: 00:11:32

takes you off guard, it surprises you and then to take

Unknown: 00:11:41

the days, hour by hour, and to not abandon yourself. And to

Unknown: 00:11:49

know that you don't need to move on, but just get through it was

Unknown: 00:11:59

one of the biggest advice that I received during those last 10

Unknown: 00:12:07

days. I'm going to leave you with that. And want to express

Unknown: 00:12:20

how grateful I am to have you listening on the other side. And

Unknown: 00:12:28

to get to know you better through every conversation we

Unknown: 00:12:33

have, and to let you know that you're not alone in this. I'm

Unknown: 00:12:41

also sharing that about a year, a couple of weeks ago, and we're

Unknown: 00:12:48

finishing up to get it ready. In the month of November, I'm

Unknown: 00:12:54

certainly going to host events and hold space for people who

Unknown: 00:13:01

want to sit in silence and process loss and allow

Unknown: 00:13:09

themselves to grieve. And during the other month, I will come up

Unknown: 00:13:15

with a theme for each month. And very excited to show up in this

Unknown: 00:13:21

world. And that way to have you out in my space and to connect

Unknown: 00:13:29

with you to see you grow and heal and most importantly to

Unknown: 00:13:37

offer a space for you where you can totally be yourself and

Unknown: 00:13:43

reconnect to your true nature. But you'll hear more about this.

Unknown: 00:13:52

In the future. You can always ask questions or make requests.

Unknown: 00:13:57

If there's a group of friends of people of family out there who

Unknown: 00:14:01

want to connect through a topic in my space out here, just let

Unknown: 00:14:11

me know. All right. I'll be out there very soon again. Until

Unknown: 00:14:17

then, take good care of yourself. Bye bye
