There is a powerful connection between grief and the physical response that can occur within our body.

In fact, grief can show up in a variety of ways in our body.

Our body is communicating too us and in this episode we explore the impact of grief on our immune system and how to alleviate physical symptoms through self-care practices.

Listen as I talk about:

• The physical toll of grief on your body and how it can manifest as symptoms
• The impact of the stress response and how it affects your overall health
• Practical tips and exercises to help you manage and alleviate grief
• Ways to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and find relief

This podcast is from last September. However, with more anniversaries, birthdays and holidays arising, I wanted to share it with you again.

These are often huge triggers for us in our grief leaving us unsure of what we should do to mark the occasion and how we can best support ourselves through them.

In this episode I talk about things you can do to honour your loved one, ways you can nurture your own needs and how our grief evolves over time.

It is a journey and we will all travel it at different paces and in different ways, there is no right or wrong, it's just finding the way that works best for you and being ok with that.

As hard as these days are it's important not to think of them as setbacks, but as an invitation to connect with our loved one, remember them and celebrate their life, eventually we will be able to do this with more love than pain.
