08-09-23 A Heart-Centered Approach to Grief and Loss with Suzanne Jabour
Picture this: the world as we know it grinds to a halt, and you’re told not to come into work. Navigating the new normal, you’re thrust into a state of uncertainty like never before. Join us as we sit down with Suzanne Jabour, a beacon of wisdom and resilience from Vancouver, BC, Canada, who helps us navigate this unfamiliar terrain with love, self-compassion, and heart-centered kindness. Suzanne unwraps the intricate layers of grief, drawing from her intimate experience of losing her son, Ben. As we meander through the complexities of grief, she encourages us to view these challenging times as a season of winter, knowing that spring, with all its vibrancy and hope, is indeed on the horizon.
Following Suzanne’s heartfelt sharing, we tap into the transformative power of self-awareness and the therapeutic potential of journaling. Suzanne guides us along this path, shedding light on how to face our fears and shift our focus towards love. Her personal testimony serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging all emotions and the impact of sharing our stories in a world often uncomfortable with grief. As we venture further into this conversation, we uncover the courage in vulnerability and the significance of disrupting societal expectations around grief.
As we approach the end of our journey with Suzanne, we discuss practical ways to support those in grief, including the importance of holding space and witnessing grief. We challenge societal conditioning that urges us to carry on, instead focusing on asking, “What is the most loving thing I can do for myself right now?” Suzanne’s wise words serve as a reminder: we are here on this planet to learn, grow, and find love, even in the most challenging moments. Tune in for an enlightening and comforting conversation that promises to shift your perspective on grief and loss.
