The Million Stages of Grief begins with a fire that changed everything. When Michael Reed lost his wife and two daughters in the 2016 Gatlinburg wildfire, his life was reduced to ashes in an instant. What followed was a journey through darkness, heartbreak, and ultimately, healing. Guided by love, faith, and the belief that pain can lead to healing and purpose, Michael wrote The Million Stages of Grief to help others navigate loss and rediscover meaning. In this moving conversation, he shares how signs, forgiveness, and connection became the anchors that helped him rise out of the darkness. His story is a testament to resilience, the enduring power of love, and the truth that even in the deepest sorrow, we are never truly alone.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• Grief is not a linear process with five stages; it’s a complex journey with “million stages.”
• The body remembers trauma and grief, even years later, manifesting in physical and emotional ways.
• Finding purpose in pain can be a powerful catalyst for healing and growth.
• Professional support, such as EMDR therapy, can be immensely helpful in processing trauma.
• Rebuilding after loss involves reshaping one’s landscape and sometimes saying goodbye to old connections that no longer align with who you’ve become.
• Signs from lost loved ones can provide comfort and a sense of continued connection.
• Forgiveness, even for those who caused immense pain, is a crucial step in releasing the weight of anger and preventing oneself from becoming a “monster.”
• It’s possible to experience joy alongside grief; one does not exclude the other.
• Sharing your story and helping others through their grief can be a profound source of healing and purpose.

Learning to die well is also learning to live with awareness, compassion, and grace. In this conversation, Irene Weinberg talks with Nancy MacMillan, a spiritual health practitioner and psychotherapist, about walking the threshold between life and death and the deep wisdom that arises in that space. Together, they explore how illness, loss, and tending to her mother’s final days revealed the sacred work of dying well, the continuing bond with our loved ones, and how embracing death as part of life opens us to greater healing and connection.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• Encountering mortality as portals to wisdom and insight.
• The ancient art of caring for the dead at home and green burials.
• Grief as a natural release that helps both the living and the newly departed.
• The possibility of continuing connections with loved ones after death.
• Approaching death with intentionality and making conscious choices for our dying time.
• Simple practices like deep breathing and mindful body attention to stabilize the nervous system.
• Awakening to the ever-present help of ancestors through gathering stories, lighting candles, and expressing gratitude.
• The three themes of the book “The Call to the Far Shore”: leaning into death while living, trusting the dying time, and remaining connected with loved ones.
• Healing as a continuous journey that leads to being more fully alive.
• Finding joy in life by allowing ourselves to be broken open by grief.
