    Welcome to our show, everyone. In today's episode, we'll delve into the crucial aspects of end-of-life tasks and estate preparation. These are not just mundane tasks, but they hold significant importance in our lives, whether you've thought about them or not.

    Before you press end and leave, I invite you to stay tuned for insights into this very interesting and often difficult problem. It's inevitable, and you cannot imagine the profound impact it can have as we navigate grief and support our loved ones whilst doing the two planning sessions.

    When end-of-life matters are left unaddressed, families can face unexpected rifts and challenges. This is especially true when the burden falls on the named executor to decipher the wishes of their loved ones. So, I hope you're still with us and join my guest, Adam Zuckerman, as we explore this significant and thoughtful preparation and its role in fostering unity and clarity during difficult times.

    As I mentioned, our guest, Adam, is a lawyer and businessman who's had personal experience with this topic. I believe this gave him the vision to create this online platform to support others.

    He is indeed the founder of Buried in Work and brings a wealth of expertise to guide us through the essential steps requiring preparation for what's in front of each one of us.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Why do people shy away from discussing end-of-life topicsThe challenges families might face when there is no estate plan in placeHow can families overcome the discomfort often associated with talking about estate planningThe importance of partners' involvement in financial planningAnd much more!

    Hello, listeners, and welcome to another episode of our grief journey. Today, we will discuss with our guest, Dr. Julie Kaplow, how we can better support children and adolescents undergoing grief.

    You'll learn that children's and youth's grief is unique, and it's through Dr. Kaplow's pioneering work has led to the development of evidence-based interventions such as multidimensional grief therapy, or MGT.

    Dr. Kaplow is an expert in childhood trauma and bereavement, and she is the executive director of the Trauma and Grief Children's Center in New Orleans.

    I understand that there's a 300-plus-person waitlist for this bereavement care. Now, that has me thinking: If this is just one state and these are the numbers, can you imagine what those waitlist numbers are worldwide?

    Here's what we talk about:

    What is Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT), and how does it help children and teens process their emotions after the death of a loved one?Addressing grief in children of different agesBehavioral changes parents should look for that signal their child needs additional emotional supportSome ways parents can model healthy grieving behaviors for their childrenAnd much more!

    Hello, and welcome to our podcast today. We will delve into the intriguing world of grief recovery and human connection. In today's episodes, we will explore a fictional book called Making Up the Gods, which is our guest Marion Agnew's latest book. I believe it was released later last year.

    Making Up the Gods is a book about three grieving strangers: a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic. The book is set as a novel in Northern Ontario, and it will be interesting to see how the author has woven into the guest's journey as each navigates their grief.

    This is the first time we're delving into grief in a fictional way, and it'll be interesting to see how the author has navigated it. The novel examines the past that can keep us from living in the future, which we know only too well for many of those on our own grief journeys, and how it's so easy to get caught up in the past.

    I'm interested to see how the twists and turns of this unfold as they release their fears and hopefully teach us how we can release our own and move forward. So, I'm delighted to speak to our guest, Marion Agnew, from Northern Ontario. I'm quite envious that she has Lake Superior in her backyard.

    This is Marion's second book. Her first one was Reverberations, A Daughter's Meditation on Alzheimer's.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Marion's original intentions for the novel and how it evolved to focus on grief.The journeys of a widow, a young boy, and a middle-aged alcoholic as they navigate grief and find connection.The writing process and inspirations.How did writing the novel help Marion gain a deeper understanding of her own grief?And much more!

    Hello, dear listeners. Thank you for joining us today as we continue our grief journey. Today, we're going to be delving into divorce. And it's a subject I don't know if society or we readily acknowledge that the pain and grief experienced when a marriage ends can often be the same sort of emotions as when there's a death of a spouse or a death of a relationship.

    And it's not readily recognized that divorce is indeed a death. It's a death of the dreams and hopes the couple had. So, yes, there's the intense pain. Because I don't believe society recognizes it as grief, the person going through a divorce doesn't have the same support or comfort that you would get or expect if it were indeed the death of a person.

    There are no rituals, no comfort, and limited support. The person going through the divorce can feel isolated and alone. It's not as simple as finding a new partner. The desire isn't for somebody new but for the one we had.

    So, the journey of divorce is both complex and deeply emotional. And it goes far beyond just seeking a replacement. And if there are children involved, it can create custody battles, and it can be traumatic no matter what age the child is.

    Now, our guest today, I'm certain, remembers only too well the emotional rollercoaster of grief when his marriage ended 45 years ago.

    Why discuss this now? Well, listeners, please stay with me; you'll understand more soon. Our guest is Vernon Baumrind, a father, grandfather, and successful businessman in Charlotte, North Carolina.

    He's also the author of a book called Deceit. It's a true story of domestic infidelity and betrayal with details recorded by a wiretap!



    Here's what we talk about:

    What lessons can readers glean from "Deceit" about recognizing, confronting, and healing from the wounds inflicted by domestic infidelity and betrayal?The emotional pain experienced during divorce compared to other forms of loss.Some common coping mechanisms people use to manage the emotional pain and grief of divorce.How did the legal proceedings between Vernon and his wife shape their family relationships during and after the divorce?And much more!

    Welcome, listeners, to another episode, as we continue once more our journey to explore the depths of grief, love, and the human spirit. Today, we'll discuss their journey into the award-winning documentary “Meet Me Where I Am” with our guests.

    The film explores the many nuances and complexities of grief that individuals grapple with. It may be a little word, but it's mighty powerful when it arrives. The film brings together these nuances and, I believe, normalizes grief.

    To say I'm beyond thrilled is an understatement to have Grant Garry and John Farley with me today!

    Here's what we talk about:

    What inspired the creation of the documentary 'Meet Me Where I Am' and its focus on grief? The symbolism of the train metaphor.In what ways does the documentary address the impact of cultural beliefs on the grieving process?The importance of sharing stories and memories of loved ones to honor their lives and find solace in grief.And much more!

As you know, I not only share stories from our guests who have overcome major challenges in their lives, but I also like to introduce you to different modalities that I believe could be helpful in supporting as we go through many of these.

    So today, I'm delighted to be delving into one such modality: hypnotherapy and how it can help with anxiety, depression, and much more. Our guest is Mike Oglesbee, an acclaimed author and coach who has taught everyone, from kids to adults in their 90s, to overcome mental struggles and become their best selves.

    Mike's first book is Fight Back: End the Cycles of Anxiety and Depression. His second book, Bigger Than Fear, will be released later this year. You may have seen Mike before if you went to the YouTube channel, which we've just started. You may have seen him on TV or heard him on radio shows. He's now breaking into guesting on podcasts, which is why he's with us.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Mike's understanding of the mind and behavior influence his career choice in hypnotherapy.Align thoughts, emotions, and actions with desired outcomes by making different choices.The power of the subconscious mind.How can individuals overcome their fear of change?And much more!

    Welcome back, listeners, and hi to our new ones who found us on YouTube. This is a new adventure for the Let's Talk About Grief podcast. Please like or comment, especially if there's a topic that we haven't covered and you would be interested in exploring.

    Today, we're going to be talking about navigating grief when you're a highly competent woman in a leadership role. And even if you're not, or you don't recognize or let yourself feel that you're a highly competent woman, rest assured that you all are. Our guest will have wisdom nuggets that will apply to everyone. So please stay with us!

    I am thrilled to chat again with Debra Woog, a crisis navigation partner with 30+ years of experience as a leadership researcher, executive, and advisor.

Connection and community are essential in a crisis. As a leader who has navigated my own unanticipated challenges, I know first-hand the value of smart, collaborative expertise, especially for women who feel solo in life or work. As supremely capable as we are, we are even better when we cross difficult roads together.

    With a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, I am able to provide both emotional and practical underpinnings for problem-solving, including research, resource matching, and communication strategy. I’m here for you.

    Welcome everyone to our heartfelt space, where we weave hope, wisdom, compassion, and an understanding into the fabric of our conversation about one of life's most profound challenges - grief and loss. We recognize that few experiences come as deeply as the pain of losing a loved one, especially when the loss comes at the hand of a silent battle with inner demons.

He also brings a wealth of insight into the labyrinth of human suffering and resilience. And I'd love you to warmly welcome Dr. Keith McNally to our show today!

    The internal conflicts and struggles faced by individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts.What strategies does Dr. McNally employ to cope with suicidal thoughts?Emotional or psychological states might indicate that someone is at risk of suicidal ideation.What are some common misconceptions or myths surrounding suicide?And much more!

    In today's episode, I want to talk to you about mental fitness, grieving a loss, and the support of Positive Intelligence.

    I will introduce you to something that you may find rather alarming or fascinating. But anyway, we're going to be talking about the saboteurs and the sage.

    Welcome, listeners. And I'm thrilled to introduce our next guest, retired Lieutenant Colonel Jason Pike, a decorated combat veteran. He's the author of A Soldier Against All Odds, and I hope you'll stick around for this very inspiring conversation. In his captivating memoirs, Jason shares his remarkable journey of resilience and triumph, and he has faced imaginable adversity while serving his country, and it didn't all come from the enemy. A pivotal moment in Jason's life occurred when his father died shortly before his deployment overseas.

    Struggling to navigate the depths of grief, he found himself confronted by the destructive actions of someone he served with who maligned his character and identity. Yet, in the face of such adversity, Jason managed to grieve his loss and remained steadfast in his commitment to his duties, ensuring the safety and well-being of the men who served under him.

    As I've mentioned, A Soldier Against All Odds is where Jason will dive deep into his profound challenges. It will offer us valuable insight, dear listeners, into how one can endure heartache, fulfill responsibilities, and emerge even stronger than before. Through his indomitable spirit, Jason's story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with loss and adversity and questioning their ability to persevere.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Jason's commitment to self-improvement contributed to his success in navigating military challenges.How did Jason seek support or resources to handle the challenges of his disability while writing his book?Balancing civilian life while carrying military experiences and values.How did Jason's colleagues contribute to his ability to handle grief while serving in the military?And much more!

    Welcome to our podcast, dear listeners. I'm Anne, your host. And today, we have a really thought-provoking topic to delve into - suicide. And I'm privileged to have Lisa Sugarman as our guest. Lisa is an incredible parenting author, a syndicated columnist, and a survivor herself of suicide loss. Lisa is also a crisis counselor with the Trevor Project.

    We recognize that suicide, unfortunately, is a tragic occurrence that can leave us feeling bewildered and grappling for the answers that question why seems almost impossible to comprehend and leaves families with lasting trauma and torment. In their grief, families may even harbor a sense of responsibility, believing they could have somehow prevented it. To shed some light on this distressing subject and gain, as I mentioned, a deeper understanding of the increasing rates of suicide, I now turn to our esteemed guest, Lisa.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Lisa's experience when discovering the truth about her father's death.What factors contribute to the increasing number of children experiencing suicidal thoughts?Changing the stigma about suicide is crucial!What is the primary purpose of a lifeline, and how does it serve individuals in crisis?And much more!
