    Episode 65 | Taking back the lies of survivor's guilt
    Jan 20 2026
    There are many lies that we repeat to ourselves when we are suffering with survivor's guilt: "If I had done somehting different my child would still be alive. . . I should have been more present. . . If only I would have called more my child would still be here. . ." and on they go.

    The reality is that, in most cases, there is very little that we could have done to prevent our child from leaving this earth. Life is unfair, but it's unfair to most of us. The good news is that we can start repainting a brighter picture in our lives. Sure, grief will always be present, but we can start focusing on the positive things in life rather than beating ourselves up for a past that we cannot change.

  • Episode 61 | Grief must be controlled (Part 1)

    Episode 61 | Grief must be controlled (Part 1)
    Dec 9 2025
    Greif must be controlled or it will control us. But how do we control our grief? There are steps that we can take to control our grief so it doesn't take us captive.

    In this part 1, we talk about the importance of identifying indicators that grief is getting too difficult for us to handle. A lot of us try to supress grief, but that only masks what we know is already making life difficult. Rather than supress grief, we suggest recognizing and acknowledging that grief is present. Then we know what we are up against and we can use techniques to get our grief under control.
