Living With Grief video with a gentle mindfulness practice

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Thank you to those of you who were able to join the live Living With Grief workshop last week.

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, whether you are navigating your first loss or carrying many, this recording may meet you where you are.

🔗 You can watch the workshop replay here​

In this month’s workshop, we explored:

  • Why grief affects the body, emotions, mind, relationships, and sense of identity
  • Why grief can feel disorienting, overwhelming, or physically exhausting
  • How the grieving brain continues to search for someone we love, and why that can feel unsettling
  • Why emotional waves are a normal part of living with loss, not a sign you are doing something wrong
  • How mindfulness supports presence and self-compassion, without trying to fix or rush grief

The workshop also includes a guided mindfulness practice focused on gently showing up for yourself in difficult moments.

The live workshops also include a Q&A, which isn’t shared publicly in order to protect the privacy of those who attend live.

If you’d like to join us for a future session, the Living With Grief workshop is offered once a month, and you’re always welcome. It will be different each time.

📅 🎥 Join me for the next live workshop on February 12 here​

Please feel free to share the recording and the live workshop page with anyone who may need it.

And until we meet again, be kind to your grieving heart.

With compassion,

Support and Resources

Hello Reader, A new episode of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast is out today. In this conversation, Amanda and I explore the second step in the Mindfulness & Grief system: mindful awareness. Many people think mindfulness means clearing the mind or forcing ourselves to stay calm. In grief, that can feel impossible. Mindfulness is not about having fewer thoughts. It is about learning how to see them more clearly. 🎧 Listen here: Episode 60: From Rumination to Wisdom (or search for Mindfulness &...

Hello Reader, Last week in the Monthly Living With Grief webinar, we spent time with a practice that felt especially right for this season. I led a shorter version of my Journey to Your Heart Center meditation, and it was powerful to witness. Valentine’s Day can stir up a lot. Even if you tell yourself it is just another day, the imagery is everywhere. Hearts. Romance. Partnership. It can feel like the world is highlighting what is no longer physically present. Your nervous system notices....

Hello Reader, Grief is not something I believe we are meant to navigate alone. It is relational. It unfolds in conversation, in reflection, and in being witnessed. And over time, I realized that I no longer wanted to be having these conversations by myself. So I want to introduce you to Amanda Palermo, who is joining me as the new cohost of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast. Amanda has been part of my world for a long time. She is a member of Awaken, walked her own path through grief, and...
