Grief and Recovery. Moving Forward After Loss While Honoring Our Loved Ones with James LaVeck

Is it possible to talk about grief, honor our loved ones, and move forward with our grief without living in sorrow and despair? In today's special episode, I'm joined by the Author, Actor, Transformational Coach, and Grief Expert, James LaVeck. The loss of James' second husband changed not only the way he felt and perceived the loss of his first husband but also his whole perspective on grief and how people deal with loss. He authored three books on grief, and developed tools to help grievers deal with their sorrow and find the right community for them, among many other valuable resources, which can be found in his third book, "Grief Recovery for Adults." Throughout this episode, you'll hear about James' grief journey, how losing his second husband changed his perspective on grief, and why he feels the second loss put the first one in perspective, and helped him realize the first loss prepared him for the second one. James also shares his thoughts on "the right time" to start dating again after losing a loved one, and the resources he used to feel alive again when he felt half of him was gone after the loss of his first husband. Plus, James talks about finding gratitude and purpose in grief, the importance of finding new passions and aiming for growth, and much more.
