In this episode the Woo Crew welcomes special guest Ellie McFalls to talk about grief in a light hearted informative manner. Ellie is an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist with the Grief Recovery Program, Hypnotherapist and EFT (also known as tapping) Practitioner.
Brenda, Camille and Rosalie have had the pleasure of working with Ellie and will talk about their experiences and the benefits of her programs.
Camille starts out with a general question, “What is grief?”
Ellie “Grief is anything you wanted to be different, better, or more. Think about it, anything in your life that didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, I wish I could have done that better. We suffer over the loss of that.”
Some people think grief is just suffering the loss of a loved one but it is so much more. Death of a person or pet, divorce (death of a relationship) emotional loss (empty nest, retirement) loss of youth. There is much more to grief.
We discuss the symptoms of grief. Most of us are familiar with crying and depression, but there can also be anger, hostility, sleeping all the time/not sleeping, being sick all the time. Being sick is a form of avoidance so that you don’t have to deal with the situation at hand.
Camille tells how she first met Ellie and went through her Grief Recovery Method program. She relocated from Texas to the Triad of NC. She knew she had to deal with her grief after losing several family members in close proximity. She found Ellie’s card and put it in her purse and ignored it for a while. Upon visiting a local Woo Woo shop when someone opened the door a gust of wind blew the business cards on the counter all over the floor. One landed on Camille’s foot, it was Ellie’s card! She promptly called the next day and started her grief recovery.
Guilt is commonly associated with grief. Ellie shares that the definition of guilt is harming someone on purpose. It is intentional harm. She explains that we are using inaccurate terminology. Disappointed is a better descriptor, it takes the blame away from it.
Alexandra asks a question about “survivor's guilt”. Brenda suggests changing it to survivors grief and Elile says changing it to survivors disappointment would be most accurate. Ellie says you had nothing to do with the person’s death, it was an accident but your subconscious takes it on as real. By changing the words from guilt to disappointment it gives it a whole new meaning and energy vibration.
Brenda talks about her Grief recovery sessions with Ellie and she says she was surprised by the person she needed to work on in her recovery. She said it was a person that she really loved and admired. Since she went through the program her relationship has shifted and she is able to be more open in convastions and they have been receptive to what she had to say. It has been a healing experience for Brenda. She has more compassion for people and where they are because of their life experiences.
If you are dealing with grief (disappointment) about anything in your life please reach out to Ellie or do your own research on The Grief Recovery Method. It was truly transformative for the ones of us who have experienced it. It is a great method to have in your tool belt to use when life sends you another disappointment. It gives you the formula and then you just have to do the work. Cheers to us as we learn and grow together.
