Many of us have first-hand experience with grief and loss, but our guest today—a grief coach and death midwife—will give us alternatives to how we approach this rite of passage. Today’s guest, Naila Francis, shows us how we find simple sources of joy even in the depth of our losses, that help us move forward with grief, NOT move on from it.

Grief is an experience on such a broad spectrum of emotions
Tune in to what feels good in your body
Dancing can open up something inside you
Grieving is not the daily story of your life
Grief manifests in our body
Grief requires slowing down
Grief wants to be dealt with
Self-compassion is the key to moving with grief
Non-finite loses
Face-to-face with grief on a daily basis

How can 2% of unresolved grief affect your life?
Everybody grieves differently
The tendency to judge comes from our own discomfort with grief
Don’t say any cliches
Stepping out into nature
It's much harder to be focused in your grief when you’reengaging in wonder of nature
Sometimes holding on to things is also a way of being stuck
To feel the grief is to really honor the immensity of love that we had for them
