Where do you find comfort when grieving? In two thousand and eight I experienced my season of grief and a year of massive change in my life. Like many of you, I had to find something that worked for me, and I turned toward spirituality. In that year of multiple losses, my spirituality provided me with a sense of connection, meaning, and hope when facing my heartache. To be honest, meditating and connecting with the universe didn't completely eradicate my grief, what it did help me to do was it altered how I perceived my pain, and be more present with my grief. Today it's my go to and spirituality still helps me to find peace in life, and comfort during any hard times. Enjoy!

Are you an emotional eater or do you find when your feeling upset you have no appetite? The loss of a loved one affects us emotionally but it can also physically affect us, and food can have completely different effects on those who are grieving. Even if you love to cook, you might lose your appetite and those foods you once loved, may make your stomach churn as food becomes the least of your concerns or, you can't stop eating as it's part of your coping mechanism. Cooking and eating while grieving is different for everyone just like our grief. So, if you are struggling in this area, this is the podcast for you. Enjoy!
