We’re chatting with Alyse Dusseault, a Widow, Grief Coach, Psychic Medium, and Reiki and energy work Practitioner based in Nashville, TN. After the loss of her fiancé Jared in June 2020, she began connecting with him in spirit and this opened her up to her intuitive gifts, which allowed her to create a new language with him in spirit. Alyse opened her business, Intuitively Alyse, in January 2022 where she helps othe...
If you’ve experienced a loss, you’ve likely experienced some form of shock along the way. Even if you see the loss coming, little can prepare you for when you actually lose a loved one. Or, even endure an unforeseen breakup, lose a job, or something else entirely. All of these and more deserve to be recognized and can be equally shocking! But fear not, my friend… there are ways to work through this shock and find s...
Today I wanted to have a quick conversation about why alone time is important in our grieving journey, and in our healing journey. We're going to talk about seven reasons I feel this way, both as a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and a fellow griever. I know we can sometimes want to be surrounded by people as we're grieving, and I always encourage that! Having a solid support system is critical. But the thing is, the practi...
I am incredibly honored to share today's guest with you guys. I’ve been a fan of hers for a LONG time now, y’all! I connected with her through Instagram, back when I first started following her early in the days of Losses Become Gains. I absolutely fell in love with her content and her beautiful writing, and now I have the privilege of sharing her with YOU today! I have no doubt you are going to love her as well. Tod...
As if grief isn't difficult enough, insensitive, ignorant, and unnecessary comments are, sadly, a common occurrence for so many of us. These kinds of remarks will likely come our way at some point as we're grieving. Things like…
It’s time for part two of busting common grief myths with Licensed Therapist and Grief Coach, Shea Wingate!
In case you missed it, Shea created this awesome Grief Myths Mini Series (details are linked below!), so we thought this would be an awesome opportunity to come together and dispel some of these. Don't forget to listen to part one of this series in episode 46! Today, we’re focusing on the follow...
I’m so excited to introduce this “coaching series”! If you haven’t heard, you can now leave me a voice note at speakpipe.com/lifewithgrief. The purpose is to have a safe space where you can share what's on your heart and mind, ask a question for me to answer here on the podcast, or send a message of hope to fellow grievers. I'm so excited to make this a more regular thing, but of course, that means I want and need to hear from YOU...
Grieving and coping with a loss while still having to work do NOT mix, amirite? This can be so, so difficult, so we’re getting into it and talking about it today. Having to continue showing up at our job as we’re going through a loss is by far one of the most physically and emotionally taxing things that someone grieving has to go through. We might not have the option to stop working as we need to support ourselves or our family,...
Let’s bust some common grief myths today, my friend! We’re chatting with Shay Wingate. She’s a Licensed Therapist and Grief Coach, and a fellow griever just like me (and probably you!). She has actually graced the podcast in the past, and I’m super excited to have her back for this little series that we're doing on grief myths we constantly hear about as Grief Educators, and grievers ourselves. We wanted to make the...
Do you ever feel like you're moving backward in your grief? Worry not, my friend. You're not, and we're going to chat about why in this episode! I’ve had countless people come to me with feeling like they’re moving backward in their grief journey, and this is a legitimate concern! Why? 1) It’s stressful! We worry that there’s something wrong with us or we're "grieving wrong". 2) There's concern this is going to be a permanent s...
There are a lot of misconceptions about how we feel and process our emotions, but this is a massive key to coping with our grief and unlocking this full, intentional life we want to live that I’m always going on about! I wanted this quick conversation to be about why we grieve the way we do. Why it’s so emotional, why we can feel stuck, why it can feel irrational. We’re not just validating your feelings here, we’re d...
Having to make decisions when a loved one’s health is declining, or even after they've died, is not only difficult but is something we can question over and over again. We can question whether our decisions about things are the right ones through the fog of our grief, and not even want the weight of that responsibility, right? So, if we’re faced with decisions like this, what do we do? What do we do if we HAVE to make decisions, b...
I’m thrilled to share the stage today with Filmmaker, Actor, Singer, and Certified Grief Educator, Grant Garry. Grant is the director of the documentary "Meet Me Where I Am”, which explores the topic of grief through individual stories of loss, love, and hope. It also focuses on how to "be there" for grievers, and what to do/say and what not to do/say. It features some really incredible people and voices in the grief space, and e...
