When you’re down, self-care is more important than ever. That’s why, given all the world is going through right now, this show is about self-care in times of grief, loss and suffering. Cause let’s face it… there’s a lot of that around us. I begin by sharing a very targeted essay I wrote not long after my late daughter Teal’s death, called The Very Temporary Nature of Suffering. Because, yes, there will be suffering. But it’s not a permanent condition. Even when it feels like it! In this show, I also share ten critical parts of really taking deep loving care of yourself when you’re experiencing grief and loss. In it, I share some things I learned after Teal’s death. But also some critical self-care resources you may not know about , including two of my favorite books on the topic. May this show find you where you are… and bring you comfort and healing. Sent with love. RESOURCES The Very Temporary Nature of Suffering Suzanne’s book Surrendering to Joy Article on Essential Oils for Grief The Grief Recovery Handbook by John W.
