Permission to Grieve with Shannon Takacs

In our culture to grieve and to talk about loss is often denied, most people are very uncomfortable to talk about it, but this has to change.

That's why I am talking with Shannon Takacs about how to grieve.  

What is grief?

Grief is the emotion that comes from loss, grief is deep sorrow. We can grieve the death of a loved one, but also the death of a pet, or the loss of an identity, for example when we retire, or when we get a divorce.

In our culture the full expression of death, loss and grief is often denied, most people don't know how to deal with it, or how to help someone that is grieving. But denying grief will never work. Shannon says.

Avoiding grief is like playing whack-a-mole. Every time you try and push it down, it pops up in a different location.

She also says, one way to normalize grief is to speak about it, and that's what we are doing in this episode.

We also talk about how Astrology helps her in her work as a death doula and also how a chart reading can help her grieving clients with compassion & empathy for themselves and others as well as how it has become a surprisingly beautiful tool in reframing their challenging storylines.

If you find value in this conversastion with Shannon, share it with your family and friends, because if you find value in it, they will too, and sharing is caring.
