Lynn Banis knows grief: “It isn’t just sadness; it’s disorienting. You wake up each day feeling like you’re walking through fog, unsure if you’ll ever find your way out.” This grief counsellor finally took herself in hand and applied her knowledge and skills to herself.
In this episode, Lynn discusses:
- Her story of loss and the power of family
- We all have different paths to healing BUT don’t get stuck
- How much of life is ritual and habit
- Things you can do now to prepare to lessen the blow, the loneliness
- How world events have the potential to compound the grieving and any feelings of hopelessness
- How to support someone else in the time of grief
Lynn also explains the value of a good counsellor to help you through your grief. You’ll want to hear about her checklists and other resources to help you prepare for an impending loss.
