Key Topics & Highlights

• Grief as a Taboo Topic: Dr. Roseman discusses why our culture struggles to talk about death and grief, often leaving the bereaved without support when they need it most.
• Supernatural Signs & Connections: The conversation normalizes the experience of receiving signs, messages, and feeling the presence of loved ones who have passed. These are not things to be dismissed but are a common and sacred part of the grieving process.
• There is No Timeline for Grief: Both Terri and Dr. Roseman emphasize that healing from loss is not linear and has no deadline. They share personal stories to validate the need for individuals to grieve at their own pace.
• The Myth of "Letting Go": Dr. Roseman passionately refutes the common advice to "let go" of the deceased, arguing that this is harmful and untrue. Instead, she advocates for continuing the bond and the relationship in a new way.
• Empowering Healthcare Professionals: A key mission of Dr. Roseman's work is to better educate doctors and therapists on the needs of grieving patients, encouraging more compassionate and holistic care that goes beyond medication.
• Finding the Right Support: The episode provides valuable advice on how to find a therapist who can truly support your grief journey, including the importance of interviewing them to ensure their philosophies align with yours.

Notable Quotes

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "Grief is a very difficult topic and unfortunately in our culture, it's also a taboo topic. You know, no one really wants to talk about it... I think they don't know what to say or what to do and it frightens them."

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "It's very normal for people after the death of a loved one, especially someone they were very close to, to have these kind of extra sensory experiences. It's just not something that we talk about."

Terri Ann Hyman: "There is no time on grief... I allowed myself all of that time to grieve. And I think that's important for people to hear."

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "I hate the verbiage, you know, like, 'you have to let her go.' I was told if I didn't do that, I was somehow impeding my mother's progress on the other side, which is total bullshit... How do they know what's going on on the other side?"

Dr. Janet Lynn Roseman: "Knowing that that connection is there forever and one doesn't have to relinquish it is incredibly empowering."
