In this episode, my sister Arcelia and I dive into the multifaceted nature of grief, examining the five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. We explore how loss manifests beyond death in areas like job loss, betrayal, and lifestyle changes. During our conversation, we discuss the "physicality of mourning," identifying how trauma stores itself in the body and why we must move past "Christianese" habits that often brush pain under the rug. Arcelia shares her personal journey of processing long-term grief through her work as a decluttering coach, emphasizing the necessity of spiritual healing, rest, and the power of boundaries. We conclude with a guided exercise to help you physically release your heartache.
