Today on Feminine Roadmap: how to build your ship for when the waves of grief crash in with Christy Roberts. Christy shares how she is navigating her own grief journey after the tragic loss of her 18 year old son in a car crash. She found herself thrown into an ocean of grief which led her to get help for herself. From that decision to get help came a mission to help others navigate their own oceans of grief. She helps people build their ship – their emotional resources in order to ride the waves of grief toward healing. Her mission is to help others turn their pain into power and into post-traumatic growth. While it is not a straight path and everyone’s experience is different, there are some universal principles that each grieving person can learn to use to help. Christy encourages listeners to lean in to the pain not away from it. The key is to recognize that the pain you are feeling is your map to healing, it points to where attention is needed. She acknowledges that there is an entire pendulum of emotions that ebb and flow, sometimes in groups, sometimes one at a time. Of course, nothing can prepare us for the moment of loss – instead of shame, guilt, regret, she encourages listeners to sit with the grief. The important thing to remember is that when we learn to sit with those emotions and ride the waves as they come up, that allows the emotions to pass through and on. Christy gives practical strategies to learn to listen to our bodies and hold a space for those emotions to breathe. If you or someone you love is going through grief, please take the time to share this episode with them. Grab a cuppa something wonderful and listen to it together maybe, just be present for whatever waves may come. https://christyrobertscoaching.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@ChristyRobertsCreatingChange
