grief healing

The deadly mass shooting this month in Maine shone a spotlight on the small city of Lewiston.

Once again, like far too many American communities, the people of Lewiston face the challenge of trying to move forward after the loss of family members, friends and neighbors.

For many survivors of a mass shooting, charting a path forward can mean searching for purpose in the wake of senseless violence.

Kimberly Mata-Rubio's, Lexi daughter, was killed in May of 2022, at her elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. In total, 19 students and two teachers were killed in Uvalde.

Mata-Rubio has decided to turn her anger and grief into action. She is running for mayor of Uvalde.

Host Juana Summer spoke with Mata-Rubio, prior to the shootings in Lewiston.

Grief is a simple enough word, but the emotional journey it describes is chaotic, messy and unique to each person. Psychotherapist and bereavement expert Julia Samuel (www.grief-works.app) joins Dr Laurie Santos for the second time to describe strategies which we can all use to help us navigate grief more effectively.

Julia says there is no right or wrong way to mourn a loss - there is no "normal" way to grieve - but there are very simple things we can do each day to listen to our feelings of grief and process them so that we can carry on with our changed lives.
