Answer
I’d point you to two “definitive” windows into how I work:
- The Beyond the Veil / Transforming Pain into Purpose interview
- My book “Gems of Healing” (GEMS = Gratitude, Exercise, Mindfulness, Self‑care)
Across those, my grief-processing approach looks like this:
- Grief isn’t an illness to cure; it’s a transformative process
- Your relationship with your person continues; love and connection remain
- Mental fitness matters: notice “saboteur” thoughts and gently shift them
- Daily GEMS practices help regulate body, mind, and spirit so you can grow with your grief, not away from it
If “Grief Refuge” raised specific ideas, which ones are you wanting to unpack first?
