86 The Healing Power of Grief with Dawn Ford
In many cultures, we are shown that a display of sadness and grief is unpalatable and unwelcome. As people that go through menopause, this is bad news. Grief occurs when we experience any kind of loss or change. It is not limited to death and bereavement. So a rising of grief during menopause is natural. Learning how to navigate this internal change can often mean allowing ourselves to experience the sadness of loss. But how do we do that when we are so biased towards 'getting over it' as quickly as possible. If you want to learn to understand grief a little more and how it might relate to your life, then this episode might be for you.
