Don’t let grief steal another moment of your year

ARE CHILDREN REALLY RESILIENT?

As a child I was never encouraged to express my feelings. I was never allowed to say I felt sad.
And I was sad a lot!
I was raised in a dysfunctional home which was physically & emotionally oppressive.
I was sexually abused (from outside the home)
But I learned very early on to keep how I felt a secret.
‘Boys shouldn’t cry’ or ‘go to your room’ were common commands…sometimes much worse happened.

So of course I lied alot to hide how I felt
If I did something wrong I lied & lied until the accusations went away.
Telling the truth was way too risky for my health.

That kind of grief affects you throughout life.
I’ve developed a very unhealthy ‘internal world’

Unhealthy for an adult that is.
As a child it made perfect sense, it meant I survived

So…I am so grateful for the Grief Recovery Method. Using it has allowed me to ‘complete’ the grief I’ve carried for years.

It has allowed me to communicate what I need to get free, being heard by a loving, safe person.

So I wasn’t resilient, I just learned how to hide, a survival mechanism.
You don’t need to live with childhood grief.

it weighs EVERBODY down. It doesn’t have to be this way…

when we lose things our emotional response is called grief. Recovery? It’s possible, I’ve seen it many many times & I feel it myself…

You're allowed to still be grieving.

You're allowed to not be "over it."

You're allowed to be angry that nobody taught you what to do with this.

You were told to be strong. You were told to stay busy. You were told it just takes time.

And none of it worked.

That's not because you failed at grief. It's because you were given bad information by good people who didn't know what else to say.

You're allowed to want more than "learning to live with it."

You're allowed to believe that recovery is possible.

Grief says…NO!!!
No to your dreams
No to your hopes
Just regrets…

But recovery says
New Dreams
New Hopes
Future without pain…

A PATH TO HEALING THAT MOST PEOPLE MISS…

In this episode, I sit down with Judy Giovangelo, a grief recovery specialist who has experienced unimaginable loss. After losing her son to su***de, followed by multiple family tragedies, Judy shares how she navigated overwhelming grief and discovered tools that truly helped her heal. This conversation goes beyond surface-level advice and dives into what actually moves people forward.

We unpack the myths surrounding grief, including the idea that time alone heals and why staying busy can actually keep people stuck. Judy opens up about how even meaningful work, like starting a nonprofit, can sometimes act as a distraction from processing pain. Together, we explore the concept of short-term energy relieving behaviors (STERBs), unresolved grief, and how unprocessed emotions can impact relationships, mental health, and even the body.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in grief, overwhelmed by loss, or unsure how to move forward, this episode offers hope and clarity. I truly believe this conversation can change how you see grief and what’s possible for your healing. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it and help us get this message out.

Recovery after the loss of a pet does not mean the absence of missing them.

Missing someone or something loved is a natural reflection of the bond that existed. Healing allows memories to be recalled without overwhelming pain or emotional shutdown. It becomes easier to speak about the relationship and remember the companionship with clarity and peace.

When grief is unresolved, decisions about future pets or relationships may be influenced by fear of experiencing loss again.

Grief recovery provides tools that allow emotional pain to be addressed directly so future choices can come from peace instead of avoidance. The goal is emotional completion with the relationship, not replacing the bond that once existed.
