Feeling is healing. I’ve read those words a lot while grieving my mum. And it’s true; to a certain extent, it’s true. But what people fail to mention is that feeling also hurts like hell. And no one likes to feel pain. Not if they can possibly avoid it.
In this week’s behind-the-scenes episode, we share a personal healing practice that Liz has undertaken to help navigate the grief around losing her mum. Writing.
Liz is writing her second book, but what started as a happy, healing book about New Zealand has morphed into something quite different. An unexpected beast. Something that scares Liz to write and scares Brian to stand by and witness.
Thank you for being with us and for listening. You are loved, you are needed, and our hearts always beat with yours.
Your friends,
Liz and Brian x

Journalling for grief is a practice I can highly recommend. Journalling is like having a conversation with yourself, and when your mind is full, it is a wonderful way to put things into order. I have journaled for decades, and I can’t do life without it.
If you would like me to talk more about journalling, please email me at [email protected]. I’d be happy to send you some of the resources I use and love.
