What does it mean to create a space for grief? Today, Liezel De La Cruz takes us through the intimate journey of losing her father, the waves of sorrow that followed, and the unexpected lessons she’s learned in transforming her pain into purpose.

In a heartfelt conversation, Liezel opens up about the stark reality of grieving in a world that waits for no one. She speaks to the soul with her honest struggle of dealing with the 'what ifs' and 'should haves,' sharing how she finds solace in the routines that bring a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of loss.

As we delve into the physical reminders that keep her father’s memory alive, from the scent of flowers that greeted her at home to the embrace of family traditions, Liezel’s experiences encourage us to look for the subtle signs of connection that defy absence.

This episode is more than just a story of loss; it’s an exploration of how we can build homes for our grief within us—through movement, mindfulness, and the words we put to our experiences. It's about finding the strength to create new memories and traditions as we honor the legacies of loved ones who passed. 

Tune in as we uncover the courage to allow grief to coexist with joy, to let the echoes of our loved ones inspire new paths, and to truly understand what it means to live with "griefsense."
