Grief isn’t just an emotion it’s a full-body experience. In this episode of Resting Grief Face, we explore how loss shows up physically, from the knots in our stomachs to the ache in our chests, and how our bodies can become powerful allies in healing. Yoga instructor Mariah Bailey shares how movement and breath helped her navigate identity loss and how understanding the body’s physiological response to grief can change the way we heal. Then, Reiki practitioner Sharayah Beecham offers a look at the energetic side of loss and how subtle shifts can bring release and balance. Because when grief lives in the body, the body is also where healing can begin.

Grief is heavy but sometimes, laughter sneaks in. In this first episode of Resting Grief Face, I share a raw story from the day my son died and how unexpected humor gave us a moment to breathe. Joined by my daughter Abi, we explore the messy, awkward, and healing role of humor in grief from “Dead Brother Jokes” to the ripple effects of grieving our own way. It’s raw, it’s real, and yes… it’s funny. Kind of.
