Have you ever met someone who made you feel so instantly comfortable that you felt you could tell them anything? They might be what's called an "opener." Many openers are naturals but the rest of us can build the skills that make them so approachable and engaging. Start here.

On my flight over to Manchester UK (hello 🇬🇧 you sold out the event THANK YOU!!) I was listening to a talk by a doctor who said he had many patients who only got better after a spouse died.

Read that line again.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I believe toxic marriages are the root cause of many health issues. It would make sense that after a death of a spouse that’s controlling, dominating, or high conflict, the nervous system and immune system can finally become regulated and healing begins.

But here’s the thing, no one talks about this. It doesn’t sound good. It’s now shown in the movies. But it’s real.

Years ago, one of my close friend lost her grandpa. We were out with her grandma and her mom just a few weeks after his death. The topic of her grandpa came up. “You know, I don’t miss him” her grandma said. I remember the moment so clearly. She seemed lighter and relaxed. And she meant it.

I don’t know any details of their marriage. And I believe marriage can be a beautiful space of mutual expansion and healing. But for others is a slow loss of self. It’s a lack of freedom. It’s lonely. And it’s where people lose their inner light.

How telling is it that at her husband’s death she felt relief.

Divorce still carries a stigma. But nothing hurts more than staying in a relationship where you’re tolerated instead of cherished or where your needs are a burden. Sometimes divorce is the first time you have the courage to choose yourself.

Sometimes it’s the first time you model to your children: when someone hurts you, it’s ok to leave.

Sometimes it’s the beginning of listening to your body. A body that’s screaming (through symptoms): I’m not safe.

Sometimes divorce is a victory that adds years to your life

There's so much misinformation out there - not just about grief, but about all the tricky parts of being human. That's why I partnered with the folks at Psych Central. With articles on lots of different topics, PsychCentral.com breaks down the stigma that surrounds mental illness AND provides actionable steps to help you protect your own mental health.

Grief is the natural response when someone (or something) you love is torn from your life. It is a natural process: a process of the heart being smashed and broken open, of reality shifting and hurling in place. It cares nothing for order or stages.

And yet, the way we deal with grief in our culture is broken. Grief gets a narrow window to be expressed. After that, you are expected to return to normal, carrying with you the gifts you’ve learned from the experience. You’re supposed to become wiser, more compassionate, and truly understand what’s important. Staying sad means you’re not doing it right. As a result grieving people often think there’s something wrong with them or that they’re doing grief “wrong.”

In this article I provide some helpful tips for how to truly support a grieving person, take apart some common myths about grief, and provide resources for finding support inside your own grief.
