Well, let me introduce you to Aly Bird. Aly is on a mission to change the culture of grief by teaching us what to say and what to do for our loved one(s) that need us!

Unexpected Loss and Unprepared Grief: Finding Hope in Hospice with Aly Bird

Unexpected Loss and Unprepared Grief: Finding Hope in Hospice with Aly Bird

We live in a culture that encourages us to numb discomfort and find quick solutions to our problems. However, grief defies these norms. It is a complex and ever-evolving experience that cannot simply be “gotten over.” When faced with an unexpected loss, we find ourselves unprepared for the tumultuous journey of grief and uncertain about its duration. In such times, seeking assistance and support from hospice becomes invaluable, as they can guide us in navigating and coping with grief in a healthy way. It is natural for us to feel like we’re more capable of managing our grief early on, but we must not undermine our grief by denying ourselves the support and solace that hospice bereavement services can offer. In this episode, Aly Bird talks more about grief and the tools you need to navigate through grief positively to transform your perspective and empower yourself with greater agency and comfort.

They’ll shine a light, giving you hope and understanding of how others have managed their grief. Also, they are an insightful guide to life’s many losses.

As I Live and Grieve: Filling the Gap in Grief Resources

As I Live and Grieve: Filling the Gap in Grief Resources

Grieving is a painful journey, one best not taken alone. Contrary to some perceptions, the process of grieving after the death of a loved one is not a simple step by step process. Nor is it the same for everyone.

It’s time for Grief to come out of the basement or wherever we have stuffed it to avoid talking about it. That’s why we started this podcast. The only way we can continue to put one foot in front of the other while living and grieving at the same time is to be able to talk about our memories, be honest about our feelings and support others that are walking a similar path. Less isolation, more community. We hope you will join us.
