    Grief Passed Down

    What's your earliest memory of grief in you family of origin? In this episode we talk about the way that grief passes down through generations, through the culture grief that is created in our families. We consider the ways that the grief of our parents and caregivers has an impact on us, just as the grief of their parents and caregivers had an impact on them. We talk a little bit about our own family grief histories, and offer some food for thought when reflecting on your own intergenerational grief.

    Is There a Right Way to Grieve?

    In this episode we talk about a common social media quip - "there is no right way to grieve". For those of us who look back on some of our grief coping as not the healthiest, that statement can feel both true and untrue. We share our thoughts and talk about Charles Corr's 2023 Omega article, "Is it True That “There are no Right or Wrong Ways to Grieve”?"

    Grief Ritual for the Reluctant

    Grief and Getting Sober

    Grief can prompt many people to stop using substances when that use gets unmanageable. Though it is often an important and healthy decision, giving up alcohol or another substance brings its own set of new struggles and losses.
