Season 4, Ep. 7: An Overview of Step 7: Celebration, from “7 Steps Toward the Power of Grief and Hope” in the book “Tears are the Source of Your Passion” with guest Chris Saade

Co-Authors, Counselor Mandy and Chris Saade, are thrilled to announce the launch of their new book “Tears are the Source of Your Passion: The Power of Authenticity and Grief.” Season 4 of Finding Hope is meant to serve as a companion to the book by offering episodes that focus on the book’s content, bringing it to life with engaging conversations and stories from people who have used the 7-steps as a guide in their grief journey. You can order the book on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/3sb5FGB.

Section Two of the book covers the “7 Steps Toward the Power of Grief and Hope,” a heart-centered, self-coaching model designed to support individuals through the creativity of the journey of grief. In this episode I am discussing Step 7: Celebration with my co-author Chris Saade.

Chris and Mandy talk about how important it was to include Celebration in their grief model because, as Chris says “Celebration is not based on the denial of grief. It is based on the honoring of our tears and struggles. Without celebration the struggle can destroy us.” Mandy says that celebration brings us hope and even can act as a life jacket for our spirit. They both concur that the choice to celebrate in the midst of tears is a choice to love and honor your spirit. This is why they knew when this model was created that Celebration had to be a part of it.

Chris Saade is an author, a psychological and philosophical teacher, trainer of professionals, and a life coach. After years serving as a psychotherapist in private practice, Chris spent two decades training therapists, coaches, and the general public in two of his models: Integra: 6 Keys for Heart-Centered Living, and The Quest for Individual Authenticity and Global Solidarity. To date, Chris has led nearly 250 multi-day cutting-edge workshops.

Born in Beirut, he was involved in peace and humanitarian work for 14 years before and during the Lebanese war. The difficulty of those times led him to develop a great respect for freedom, authenticity, diversity, peace, and a passion for justice and solidarity, especially for children.
