When life gets in the way. How can we find hope again?

About When life gets in the way. How can we find hope again?

My name is Catharina Karlsson. It started with a broken heart when my mother died and I was helped by grief recovery. I then decided that I wanted to give back and became a grief coach myself. I want to be a voice for the change of life that happens when life gets in the way for different reasons. I want to talk about how to find courage and tools to handle loss and refind hope in life. We are all individuals and there is no right or wrong and I want to approach grief from a humble perspective although based on my own perspectives and experiences. I am a teacher, special educator, mother and dogmom. I am also a certified grief coach. I have also done research about proactive health from a special educational perspective. I want this pod cast to be a safe place to talk about difficult things but where glimpses of light can shine in and give light and hope. Grief and loss is not only about death. We can get reactions of grief after for example a divioce, other major separations (human or pet), injury, disease or loss of a bodily function, assault, bullying, bankruptcy, conflicts at work or privately. For a variety of reasons we can lose our safety, security, self-esteem or dreams and trust in the future. Who was I and who did I become after my loss? With this podcast I want to spread knowledge about grief, loss and try to be a channel about ways to find some hope and light again. We are expected to move forward after our loss. How can we get there? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Doubting yourself?

   To everyone who carries a lot of doubt and uncertainty. Have you lost your dreams, hope, self-esteem, self-confidence or all of them. Maybe you've learned that your feelings are wrong, and maybe it has led you to underestimate yourself and your needs. Instead you might take in other people's needs. Maybe you've built your self-worth and self-esteem upon that. If so, you might give others the mandate to control your life even though you don't realize it or want it to be that way. Whatever the reason, you may doubt that you are worthy of the future you desire for yourself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

   Slowly realizing

   Big changes in our lives sometimes happen in a second and sometimes slowly and gradually. When death, separation or another painful life change strikes us, it often takes a long time to land, realize and understand what really happened. Maybe we continue to live as before, pretend that we are ok or we don't have the energy to take it in at all. Maybe everyday routines are holding us up. We get up, make breakfast, we go to work, we do what we think life requires of us. However, the emptiness echoes within us, a place is empty. A phone number we almost call out of habit has no one to answer. Perhaps for various reasons you have lost your dream of a future you hoped for. You realize that it can no longer be as you thought.

It is important to remember that grief is an individual process that takes different amounts of time, and it is normal and natural. In today's episode, we focus on emptiness from different perspectives. Welcome to listen! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
