This episode isn't just about singular events; it's about understanding grief in its many forms. Join me for a powerful interview with Lotus, LCSW, as we explore the intricate journey of grief and loss. We'll delve into deeply personal experiences, examining the impact of childhood trauma, the pain of losses to suicide, and the complexities of navigating relationships shaped by addiction.
We confront the societal taboos that often surround death, emphasizing the vital importance of feeling and processing grief rather than suppressing it and how we can discuss death with children. Lotus also shares their personal journey of finding their identity outside of chaos, highlighting the ongoing process of self-discovery and healing that unfolds over a lifetime. Ultimately, we discuss how open conversations about loss are essential for fostering connection and ultimately, find true belonging.
