Episode 267: How To Move Forward After Losing A Child
My Grief Over Losing My Son 2 Weeks Ago. Dr. John Schinnerer on the psychology, the real talk, and tools men can actually use.
Slightly over two weeks ago, Joree and I came home from an epic Africa trip. The following day, the police came to my door to tell me my 23-year-old son, Brett, was dead. As always, I try to use experiences in my life to authentically and honestly teach others - how to feel, how to cope, how to make meaning, and how to rejuvenate and re-open the heart after loss. Trigger warning: This one is raw, emotional, and contains discussion about death and grieving.
What emotions show up in the emotional turmoil that is grief?
How does grief show up in the body?
How do you make sense of a tragic death afterwards?
What are some of the best things you can say to someone in grief?
What are some best practices to re-engage with life and routine after a death?
Thank you for your support during this difficult time. Thank you for listening. Thank you for the love. Thank you for being you. You matter to me. You are important to me. You are why I do what I do.
Please share with others if you feel they might benefit from this episode on loss, death and grief.
