The Lies We've Been Told About Grief Episode Description: In this eye-opening episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker confronts the damaging lies we've all been told about grief. From childhood, we are handed false beliefs like: • “Don’t feel bad” • “Be strong” • “Time will heal” • “You should get over it” Sharon dives deep into how these messages have distorted our understanding of grief and often cause us to suppress or deny the pain we’re carrying. She shares her own personal experience with the grief that no one warned her about, and how unlearning these toxic myths led her on a path of true healing. If you’ve ever felt like your grief didn’t fit into the tidy boxes society sets for it, this episode is a must-listen. Sharon invites you to release the shame and guilt tied to these lies, offering a new, empowering perspective on what it truly means to grieve and heal. Key Points Discussed: The Lies We’ve Been Taught About Grief Why pretending to be “strong” and “moving on” can actually hold us back from healing. How Grief Should Really Be Handled Understanding grief as a personal journey that requires space, time, and the willingness to feel deeply. The Cost of Suppressing Grief How ignoring your grief can lead to long-term emotional pain, and why it’s crucial to face it head-on. Grief as a Journey, Not a Destination Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and healing doesn’t mean you “get over it.” It means you learn to live with it. Journal Questions for Reflection: What lies about grief have you been told or have believed? How do you feel when others tell you to “move on” or “be strong”? What would it look like if you gave yourself permission to grieve openly and without judgment?

With raw honesty and deep personal reflection, Sharon explores the ways time affects grief—not by erasing pain, but by revealing the spaces where healing is still needed. She shares her own journey of realizing just how long it has been since she last saw and spoke to her loved ones, and the surprising emotions that surfaced when she did the math. If you've ever wondered why your grief still feels fresh after months or even years, this episode will provide clarity, validation, and a new perspective on how to navigate healing with intention. Key Points Discussed: The Myth of Time as a Healer Why waiting for time to "fix" grief often leads to more frustration and heartache. What Time Actually Does Time reveals unresolved pain, surfaces hidden emotions, and shows us where healing still needs attention. The Power of Intentional Healing Healing doesn’t happen passively—it requires action, awareness, and willingness to face the grief head-on. Softening vs. Healing Time may soften the edges of grief, but true healing comes when we actively engage in our healing journey. Journal Questions for Reflection: What has time revealed to you about your grief? What emotions resurface for you again and again? How can you lean into your grief with intention instead of waiting for time to pass? Join the Journey: Healing takes time, but it also takes intention.

Healing Starts with the Heart
Grief and the Journey of Healing Grief is a deeply personal and often misunderstood experience. Society tends to encourage moving on quickly, but true healing comes from acknowledging and processing grief rather than suppressing it. Sharon Brubaker, a grief specialist with over 18 years of experience, guides individuals through their healing journeys with compassion and practical tools. Rather than avoiding grief, embracing it with awareness can lead to emotional recovery. Suppressing grief may seem like the easiest option, but unprocessed emotions often resurface in unexpected ways. By allowing yourself to sit with your emotions, you create space for healing. Journal Questions for Reflection Take a moment to reflect on your grief journey with these questions. Writing down your thoughts can help you gain clarity and insight: Have you been keeping yourself busy as a way to cope with grief? How has that been working for you? What are some unexpected ways your grief has shown up in your daily life? When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to sit with your emotions? How did it feel? What would it look like for you to practice awareness and acknowledgment of your grief today? Conclusion Remember, grief is not something to “get over”—it’s something to tend to with care and compassion. Sharon encourages you to challenge societal norms, embrace your grief, and practice self-awareness. When we allow ourselves to process grief instead of suppressing it, true healing becomes possible.

Healing Starts with the Heart
Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker sheds light on the exhausting and relentless nature of grief. She challenges the common advice to “give it time” and explains why grief pain demands to be felt. Through personal stories and deep insights, Sharon provides listeners with practical steps to lean into their grief and begin processing it in a healthy way. Key Points Discussed: Why Grief Feels Exhausting Grief takes every bit of your energy, leaving you physically and emotionally drained. Staying busy and distracted may seem like a solution, but it doesn’t make the pain go away. The exhaustion of grief is real—it’s as if all your nerve endings are exposed, making even small tasks feel overwhelming. The Myth of “Time Heals All” Many are told to just “give it time,” but time alone does not heal grief. Pain has a purpose—it demands to be felt and processed before true healing can begin. Avoiding grief only causes it to show up unexpectedly, in ways we don’t anticipate. The Chatter of Grief Grief creates an ongoing mental dialogue, much like background noise that never stops. Unprocessed grief thoughts turn into overwhelming emotions that take over daily life. The only way to quiet the chatter is to acknowledge and process the emotions tied to it. Our Culture Teaches Us to Push Through Society conditions us to suppress grief, offering minimal time to grieve before returning to “normal.” We have been led to believe that grief has an expiration date, but real healing comes from actively tending to our pain. A Simple Practice for Processing Grief Instead of pushing grief away, pause and acknowledge its presence. Identify the emotion you’re feeling—sadness, loneliness, anger—and name it. Lean into the emotion rather than resisting it, allowing it to pass through you. This intentional awareness helps relieve the weight of grief over time. Journal Questions for Reflection: Have you been trying to stay busy to avoid your grief? How has that affected you? What are some ways your grief is showing up unexpectedly in your life? When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to sit with your emotions? How did it feel? What would it look like for you to practice awareness and acknowledgment of your grief today?

The Hidden Cost of Unprocessed Grief Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker delves into the often-overlooked process of truly understanding and working through grief. She challenges the misconceptions around "moving on" and highlights the importance of acknowledging and processing pain as essential steps toward healing. Through personal experiences and expert insights, Sharon shares a powerful approach to grief that transforms pain into progress. Key Points Discussed: Why Grief Feels Endless Many people struggle with lingering grief for years because they were never taught how to process it properly. Healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to carry grief in a healthy way. Ignoring pain only intensifies it, making healing feel impossible. Acknowledging the Pain as a First Step The first step to healing is recognizing and allowing yourself to feel the pain of grief. Suppressing grief leads to emotional wounds that can fester, much like an untreated physical injury. Saying "This hurts" and acknowledging grief’s presence is a powerful act of self-compassion. The Role of Processing Grief Healing requires intentional work—grief is not something you simply "get over." Before true emotional healing can begin, one must first learn how to grieve. Processing grief involves daily, small steps rather than a single breakthrough moment. Understanding the Two-Part Healing Approach Processing the Pain of Grief: Identifying and working through the pain step by step. The Courage to Grieve: Once pain has been processed, this stage allows for deeper grief work and transformation. Healing is not about erasing pain but about learning to tend to it properly. Journal Questions for Reflection: Have you been avoiding your grief, and if so, in what ways? How does unprocessed pain show up in your life? What small steps can you take today to begin acknowledging and tending to your grief? How can you reframe your grief as a process rather than something to "get over"? Conclusion: Grief is not an enemy—it is a signal that healing needs to take place. Sharon encourages listeners to take the first step by acknowledging their pain and starting the process of working through it. With the right tools and mindset, grief can become a pathway to resilience and growth rather than an overwhelming burden.

She challenges the common belief that grieving and thriving are opposites, showing how they can coexist. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Sharon helps listeners embrace healing while keeping their loved one’s legacy alive. Key Points Discussed: The Coexistence of Grief and Growth Grief doesn’t mean a life of endless suffering, and thriving doesn’t mean forgetting your person. Healing involves learning to carry grief while finding purpose and moments of joy. Honoring Their Memory Through Storytelling Sharing stories keeps your loved one’s presence alive in your heart and helps others who are grieving. Personal anecdotes, cherished memories, and creative expressions can become healing tools. How Loss Deepens Relationships Grief can shift the way we interact with others, often leading to deeper connections with family and friends. Simple gestures like saying “I love you” more often or creating new traditions in their honor can be powerful acts of remembrance. Finding Meaning in Grief Reflecting on how grief has changed your perspective, passions, or career can help channel pain into personal growth. Identifying lessons from your loss can shape the way you move forward while still honoring your person. Journal Questions for Reflection: What are the ways you currently honor your loved one’s memory? How has grief reshaped your relationships with others? What lessons have you learned from your journey through loss? How can sharing your person’s story bring healing to you and others? Conclusion: Grief is life-changing, but it doesn’t mean you have to be forever broken. Sharon encourages listeners to find ways to keep their loved one’s spirit alive while embracing growth and healing. By sharing their stories and allowing grief to be part of their journey, they can create a meaningful legacy of love and resilience.

Grief as a Full-Body Experience Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker uncovers the physical, emotional, and mental toll of grief. She explains how grief affects every part of the body, from emotions to physical health, and discusses ways to recognize and address these effects. Sharon shares her own experiences and offers tools to help listeners navigate the overwhelming, full-body impact of grief. Key Points Discussed: Grief Affects Every Part of You Grief is more than an emotional experience; it impacts the mind, body, heart, and soul. Physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach issues, muscle pain, and changes in appetite are common. Sharon urges listeners to seek medical attention for persistent symptoms while understanding their connection to grief. Six Areas Affected by Grief Feelings: Grief brings intense, unpredictable emotions such as sadness, anger, and confusion. These emotions can feel like waves or roller coasters, and avoiding them only prolongs the pain. Sharon shares how she suppressed her grief after her nephew’s death, showing how unprocessed emotions can surface later. Thoughts: Grief triggers overwhelming thoughts, often leading to beliefs like “No one understands me” or “I’ll never be happy again.” These repetitive thoughts influence emotions and behaviors, keeping grievers stuck. Recognizing and addressing grief-related thoughts is a vital step toward healing. Behaviors: Grief can cause out-of-character behaviors, such as overeating, drinking excessively, or neglecting self-care. Sharon emphasizes the importance of being gentle with yourself and allowing space for these behaviors while gradually working toward healthier habits. Beliefs: Grief can challenge religious, spiritual, and personal beliefs, leading to questions about justice, fairness, and the meaning of life. Some grievers find their faith strengthened, while others may feel disconnected or uncertain. Physical Health: The physical toll of grief includes headaches, joint pain, sleep disturbances, and more. Sharon advises seeking professional help for health concerns while also understanding that grief is a contributing factor. Purpose: Grief can shake your sense of purpose, leading to feelings of hopelessness or questioning life’s meaning. While these thoughts are unsettling, they are a natural part of the grieving process and a step toward redefining your purpose. Journal Questions for Reflection: What emotions have been the strongest for you during this grieving experience? What thoughts do you find yourself repeating since your loss? How has your grief affected your behaviors or habits? Have your beliefs about life, faith, or fairness changed? How? What physical symptoms have you noticed during your grief? How has grief made you question or redefine your purpose? Conclusion: Grief is a full-body experience that touches every part of who you are. By understanding how it affects your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, health, and purpose, you can begin to create a plan for healing. Sharon reminds listeners that grief is a journey, and taking intentional steps can help them move forward with hope and resilience.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبWhy Grief Makes You Feel Alone—Even in a Crowd Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker explores the profound emotional experiences of loneliness, solitude, and isolation in grief. Sharon dives into the distinctions between these feelings and provides guidance on how to manage them effectively. Through personal insights and practical tools, she helps listeners embrace the balance between connection and introspection as they navigate their grief journey. Key Points Discussed: The Difference Between Loneliness, Solitude, and Isolation Loneliness: An emotional state where you feel disconnected, even when surrounded by others. Being Alone: A physical state where you are by yourself, often by choice. Isolation: A deeper form of solitude that can arise when solitude persists and leads to disconnection from others. Why Grievers Retreat Into Solitude Many grievers isolate themselves because they need time to process their loss or because they feel unsupported by others. Hurtful comments, such as “Shouldn’t you be over this by now?” or “They wouldn’t want you to feel this way,” push grievers further into solitude. When Solitude Becomes Harmful Isolation Prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of being forgotten, worthlessness, and intensified grief. Sharon explains how well-meaning but misguided advice can exacerbate a griever’s sense of disconnection, making them reluctant to share their feelings. The Challenge of Reaching Out Grievers may struggle to ask for help or connection because they feel they’re burdening others. Sharon encourages listeners to try reconnecting with trusted friends or family members and not to shy away from expressing the need for companionship or support. Technology and Social Media’s Role in Loneliness Social media can amplify feelings of loneliness when posts about grief go unnoticed or when grievers feel like their pain is dismissed. Sharon notes how online spaces can sometimes foster negative comparisons or further isolation. The Healing Power of Connection Small steps, like asking for a hug or inviting someone over, can ease feelings of loneliness. Pets, such as dogs or cats, can provide comfort and companionship, though they are not replacements for human connection or the grief process. Journal Questions for Reflection: Do you feel more alone or lonely in your grief? What’s the difference for you? Have you found yourself isolating? If so, why do you think that is? What comments or actions from others have made you feel more disconnected? Who in your life could you reach out to for support or companionship? What activities or moments of solitude help you process your grief in a healthy way? Conclusion: Loneliness, solitude, and isolation are natural parts of grief, but they can become obstacles if left unaddressed. Sharon encourages listeners to identify their needs, seek connection, and balance introspection with support from others. Grief is a personal journey, but it doesn’t have to be walked alone. Resources and Support: Join Grief Study Hall: Share your grief with others in a supportive environment every Tuesday at 1 PM CST.

Healing Starts with the Heart
Why Does Grief Bring Back Old Pain? Episode Description: In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker delves into the concept of cumulative grief, explaining how past unresolved losses often resurface during new grieving experiences. Sharon shares personal stories, psychological insights, and actionable tools to help listeners understand and navigate the layered emotions of cumulative grief, making space for healing and growth. Key Points Discussed: What Is Cumulative Grief? Cumulative grief refers to the accumulation of past unresolved losses that resurface during new grief experiences. These memories might stem from losses like childhood experiences, pet deaths, or moments of neglect that were never acknowledged as grief at the time. Examples of Cumulative Grief: Childhood losses such as being bullied, losing a pet, or experiencing a death that wasn’t openly discussed. Life events like divorce or career setbacks that resurface when facing a new loss. Sharon shares how unresolved grief can intensify the pain of current losses, making it harder to process and heal. Why Cumulative Grief Happens: The brain and heart remember past grief experiences through sensory triggers like smells, songs, or locations. Unprocessed emotions are stored in the body, resurfacing during stressful events like a current loss. Comparing Old and New Losses: Sharon explains how it’s natural to compare current grief to past experiences. While some comparisons can be helpful (e.g., identifying coping skills that worked), others, like judging one loss as "worse," can hinder healing. Personal Stories of Cumulative Grief: Sharon shares examples from her work with clients, such as a woman grieving her father’s death who uncovered unresolved emotions from her divorce. She reflects on how her own childhood coping mechanisms influenced how she handled grief later in life. The Role of "What-If" Thinking: Sharon discusses counterfactual thinking—reflecting on how things could have been different. While it’s a natural response, focusing on "what-ifs" can distract from addressing current grief. The Silver Lining in Cumulative Grief: Past grief experiences can remind us of our resilience and coping skills. By reflecting on how we’ve overcome challenges before, we can find hope and strength in the present. Journal Questions for Reflection: What is one memory from a past loss that has resurfaced during your current grief? Have you compared your current grief to a previous experience? What have you learned? Are there any "what-if" thoughts you’ve been holding onto? How do they affect your grieving process? What coping strategies or support systems from past losses might help you now? Conclusion: Cumulative grief is a natural part of the grieving process, allowing past emotions to come to the surface for healing. Sharon encourages listeners to embrace these memories, use them as a source of strength, and reflect on their grief through journaling and support systems. Remember, every loss brings an opportunity for growth and deeper emotional understanding.

التشغيل لاحقا التشغيل لاحقا قوائم إعجاب احبHidden Grief: The Losses We Don’t Talk About In this episode of Healing Starts with the Heart , grief specialist Sharon Brubaker dives into the topic of hidden grief—those personal, often unacknowledged grief experiences that go unnoticed by society. Sharon explains how hidden grief manifests in many forms beyond death and how societal norms often discourage people from recognizing and processing these losses. Through personal stories and practical advice, she helps listeners uncover and validate their hidden grief, paving the way for healing. Key Points Discussed: What Is Hidden Grief? Hidden grief refers to losses that don’t fit traditional definitions of grief, such as losing a job, relationship, or sense of identity. Sharon describes hidden grief as deeply personal and often invisible, making it harder for others to recognize or offer support. Examples of Hidden Grief: The loss of a dream job that you’ve worked toward for years. Breaking up with a significant other or going through a divorce. Losing self-worth after the death of a partner who was your emotional anchor. Enduring the foreclosure of a home or the loss of a pet, which society often trivializes. Why Hidden Grief Goes Unnoticed: Society typically ties grief to death, leaving other forms of loss invalidated. People experiencing hidden grief often feel ashamed or embarrassed to share their feelings. The Emotional Weight of Hidden Grief: Sharon discusses how unprocessed hidden grief can build up, leading to feelings of isolation and emotional exhaustion. Hidden grief often overlaps with other life challenges, complicating the healing process. Personal Story: Learning to Acknowledge Hidden Grief Sharon shares her experience of grieving for her nephew, Austin. She reflects on how she delayed acknowledging her grief out of respect for others, later realizing the importance of processing her emotions. The Importance of Recognizing Hidden Grief: Naming and validating these losses is a vital step toward healing. Sharon urges listeners to create a safe space to share their hidden grief and reject societal pressure to keep these experiences private. Journal Questions for Reflection: What is a hidden grief you’ve experienced recently? How did this hidden grief make you feel, and did anyone acknowledge your emotions? Have you avoided addressing this grief, and if so, why? What steps can you take to honor and process this hidden grief? Conclusion: Hidden grief can carry just as much emotional weight as grief tied to death. By naming these experiences and allowing yourself to feel the pain, you create space for healing and growth. Sharon reminds listeners that grief is a natural and valid response to all types of loss, not just those that society deems significant.
