Episode #8 - Finding Light in Loss: A Journey of Grief with Karen Van Allen

In this episode of the Inner Space Project Podcast, Dr. Patti Ashley speaks with Karen Van Allen, a facilitator of A Course in Miracles and volunteer at the Hospice of the Valley, about navigating grief and endings. Karen shares her personal story of loss, focusing on the tragic death of her daughter over 20 years ago. This life-altering event led her on a journey from an analytical, business-focused mindset to one of deep emotional healing and spiritual growth.

Karen discusses how grief stripped her of her identity and plunged her into feelings of victimhood and anger, which she learned to process through spiritual practices, especially A Course in Miracles. She reflects on the power of surrendering to a higher guidance and how signs, like yellow roses and feathers, reassured her along her path. Together, Dr. Ashley and Karen explore the complexities of grief, the importance of honoring anniversaries, and how loss can bring unexpected gifts, teaching us to live from the heart rather than the head.

This heartfelt conversation offers profound insights into finding meaning and peace through life's toughest transitions.
