This podcast explores the significance of grief education and the Grief Mentor Method with guest Julianne Manske Rollefson, a grief educator and podcast host. Listen as Laurie and Julianne discuss the universal experience of grief, the necessity of acknowledging and processing it in various life changes, and the role of rituals in coping with losses like death, divorce, or job loss. Rollefson introduces a holistic approach to grieving, emphasizing mindfulness, energy management, nourishment, outdoor activities, and the importance of incorporating rituals and rest in navigating grief.TakeawaysGrief is inherent in change and is experienced by everyone at some point in life.

There is a lack of education and support around grief in the workplace and society.

The five stages of grief model is limited and does not capture the complexity of grief.Acknowledging and understanding grief is essential for providing effective support.

Continuing bonds with loved ones who have passed can be a helpful way to navigate grief. Continuing bonds in grief allow for a healthy and ongoing relationship with the deceased in a different way.

The Grief Mentor Method, which stands for mindfulness, energy, nourishment, translation, outside, and ritual/rest, provides a comprehensive framework for navigating the grief process.

Grief is a complex and multifaceted experience that involves holding multiple emotions simultaneously.Rituals and rest are important components of the grief process, allowing for the integration and honoring of the loss.

Grief can be experienced in various contexts, including death, divorce, and job loss, and finding ways to acknowledge and mark these losses is essential.
