Grief is a deeply human experience—universal, yet profoundly personal. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, or the quiet ache for how things used to be, grief touches us all. In this special episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we explore the healing potential of mindful self-compassion for those navigating loss.
Rather than pushing grief aside or rushing through it, this episode offers a gentle, compassionate approach that honors the pain while creating space for healing. You’ll learn how to meet your grief with awareness, kindness, and a sense of shared humanity—the three foundational components of mindful self-compassion.
This episode includes a guided meditation to help you process grief with tenderness and courage, offering tools you can return to again and again.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
✔ Why grief is not something to "get over," but something to honor and hold with care
✔ How mindfulness helps you be present with difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed
✔ How self-compassion can soften inner criticism and support your healing process
✔ The importance of common humanity in breaking the isolation of grief
✔ Practical mindfulness techniques like grief breathing, naming, grounding, and titration
✔ A gentle, guided meditation to support your grief journey with kindness and presence
This episode is for anyone—especially mindfulness teachers, therapists, and wellness professionals—looking to deepen their understanding of grief and how to integrate self-compassion into their personal and professional practice.
🌿 May this episode be a refuge and a reminder that grief, held with compassion, can become a doorway to deeper connection and healing.
