Holding Space for Grief and Loss in the Covid Era

HEARTFIRST with Ifoma and Jess

Inspired by a recent and sudden loss in my family, this episode includes some personal insights about how each of us can work through grief and hold space for the devastating pain and loss someone we love is experiencing. Whether it is you who is most affected or it’s someone close to you (or even it’s more removed because, ultimately, at some point loss touches us all) it’s so important for us to learn how to best cope with and support others in their process of grief. There is no one size fits all model to this; it’s personal and it’s all valid. Above all else, allow the experience to happen without trying to fix it and, when listening to someone going through loss, listen through your heart without offering to make it all better.
