Takeaways, Reflections, & Elaborations from Ep. 12 & 13: How We Live is How We Die & Grief in Men vs Women
Through the conversation on Episode 12 with Patsy, the conversation led to how we live is how we die - "a good death." Through personal example, I illustrate how grief and loss during life do, indeed, impact our bodies until our very last breath.
I then go into my thoughts on how men and women grieve differently, as it was briefly mentioned in Episode 13 in my conversation with Patti.
When we are resistant to life, we are resistant to death - I wholeheartedly believe this. Take a listen to this week's episode and then consider if the emotional energy you're carrying around is negatively impacting how you are living and how you perceive death and dying.
And also, how it's less about what our gender is when it comes to grief and more about how much we've allowed ourselves to dig deep, that has the most significant impact on how we grieve. Perhaps the greater differentiator of gender and grief is how we choose to (or not to) process it. That's for another episode!
I leave you with some questions to ponder at the end of this episode. More in-depth questions are our guideposts for change. We always have the answers to revert back to - to keep us on track.
