84. Coping as a Multiple Friend-Loss Survivor with Mindfulness & Self-Compassion
<p>In today’s episode I talk to Novelette Monroe, a multiple loss survivor, trained Hospice and Peer Bereavement Care Facilitator, and certified Mindfulness & Grief Coach. She has facilitated many bereavement groups over the years with a special interest in Mindfulness for Grieving Loss. Novelette was born with the Recessive Dystrophic form of Epidermolysis Bullosa, RDEB—a rare life-limiting, progressive, and chronic condition. She was fortunate enough to develop lasting connections with others with RDEB when, at age 12, she attended a summer camp for children with skin disorders sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology. The friendships she formed at camp became her life source for having folks in her life who knew what it is like to live in a body with this rare disease.</p><p> </p><p><strong>In this conversation we talk about:</strong></p><ul><li>how the friends she met at camp became her chosen family; friends who showed her what was possible: “if you can see her, you can be her.” </li><li>the devastation and grief after the death of her beloved friends</li><li>how she’s coped, and how mindfulness and bereavement groups have supported her over the years. </li></ul><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>MORE ABOUT NOVELETTE:</strong></p><p><strong>Follow Novelette’s </strong><strong>Grieving and Living Consciously</strong><strong> socials:</strong></p><p>Facebook Page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567169300477">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567169300477</a></p><p>Private Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Bi1k3HVfW/">https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Bi1k3HVfW/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/grieving_living_consciously/">https://www.instagram.com/grieving_living_consciously/</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrSx8Qj30l8JoTceOrRUTww">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrSx8Qj30l8JoTceOrRUTww</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>RESOURCES:</strong></p><p><strong>Information on self-compassion practices and meditations: </strong><a href="https://self-compassion.org">https://self-compassion.org</a><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Heather Stang’s mindfulness & grief website: </strong><a href="https://heatherstang.com/">https://heatherstang.com/</a><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Heather Stang’s books: </strong><a href="https://heatherstang.com/heather-stang-grief-books/">https://heatherstang.com/heather-stang-grief-books/</a><strong></strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Grief Groups:</strong> </p><p>The <strong>Friends Missing Friends Collective</strong> is a loving and supportive community of friend-loss grievers.
