S2E11 Getting Curious in Grief with Nina Rodriguez

Sol Rising

Have you suffered traumatic loss and are trying to make sense of how and why it happened? Are you seeking a spiritual and practical pathway to move forward? One filled with curiosity as well as grace.

Join Amanda and Nina Rodriguez, founder and host of the Grief and Life Podcast, in a heartfelt, introspective conversation around the questions that come up about our internal experience with loss and how this seeking provides a path forward full of grace, purpose, and a new perspective on what's actually going on beyond the veil.

A few points they touch on include:

• Broken heart syndrome, known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. A physical condition that can reshape segments of your heart as a result of profound and intense grief.
• Normalizing feelings of grief that can make you feel like you're going crazy.
• How we are moving FORWARD not moving ON.
• The necessity to show yourself grace and how to practice grace in action.
• The importance of rituals as we move through the grief process.
• The different ways in which people show their support for the bereaved which may look different than the ways you would show support.
• How a deep spiritual connection within and with the other side emerged for both Amanda and Nina after the loss of their brothers.
• And much more!

The book Nina refers to is Embraced by the Light, by Betty J. Eadie.
