Learning to be present with grief

In this part two episode on grief, I am joined by my dear friend and sister Victoria Cernjak. Victoria and I's friendship started while we were both going through a massive spiritual transformation and we were on our own individual healing journey. We met purely by Divine providence when we both signed up for a year long program and it included a 5 days in person retreat in Halifax. We ended up being roommates and that first day we met, we talked non-stop. It felt like we've known each other many lifetimes before and we were finally being reunited in this one. We became very close friends ever since, chatting on the phone almost every day. Victoria and I talk about pretty much everything and we've had so many deep conversations over the years. Actually one of our intimate conversations inspired the start of this podcast, and that's why she had to be my first special guest. 

During this particular episode, we start with an introduction of the guest, then talk a bit about our friendship before diving into our conversation on grief. And believe me, it is really just that, a conversation with a dear friend, where we explore her recent experience of loss and how she navigated her grief. We've talked for instance about her previous and current relationship to grief; what surprised her most about her grief this time around; how grief moves through her body; and what tools and rituals have been most supportive to her in expressing her grief. 

I can't wait for you to discover this magical woman and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we've enjoyed recording it.
