“How do you grieve not only the person you lost, but the person you can no longer be? … There are identities and parts of ourselves we lose when we lose people we love.” Shelby Forsythia
In this special episode, Chelene sits down with Shelby Forsythia to discuss the trials and tribulations that grief brings us through, in all avenues of life.
When we experience any form of loss in our lives, it can bring our creative journey to a halt. Not only do we feel isolated from the world around us, but our entire perspective and relationship to the world changes.
Shelby Forsythia is a grief coach, author, and podcast host here to share her experiences and insights into grief. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.
Following her mother’s death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a “student of grief” and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.
If you or someone you know is experiencing grief, and is seeking support and community in this process, be sure to visit Shelby’s website.
