222: Navigating Grief Through the Pandemic With Sally McKinley
Shifts and changes of grief. Listen as Sally shares her experience of navigating the loss of her son - Joey - during the pandemic time. Joey was diagnosed with Spastic Cerebral Palsy and lived with Sally for 38 years.
How Sally grieved more and felt the intensity of her emotions of grief lead her to the Grieving Moms Haven group and learned that there are different tools that can help her.
We also talked about Sally’s anxieties to the extent that she can’t sleep and even the anxiety of going to sleep. She went through an emotional eater stage that made her overeat to help her tone down her anxieties. She tried the group’s anxiety program along with the gratitude and breathing tools that helped her.
Sally highlighted that in order to heal is that you should be surrounded by safety and support. She found it in the Grieving Moms Haven. You can find out if it's a perfect fit for you or not. Sally didn't come to the group to get fixed but now she is moving on with joy and that takes time.
