These past few years have seen unimaginable losses, incredible stress, and overwhelming challenges for everyone. There's a lot of talk out there about mental health and the importance of seeking help, but the helpers are human too. If it's your job to hold the pain of the world, what do you do when you just can't hold anymore. We're not exactly trained to deal with this stuff right well, professionally or personally. To make things better for everybody, we have to change how we talk about mental health, and that means we have to talk about grief. From my Heart Radio, this is here after, the show that explores new ways to respond and survive when life goes horribly wrong in the service of a kinder, more supportive world. I'm your host, Megan Divine. Each week I tackle big questions from nurses, therapists, and other professional helpers. Sometimes we'll have a special guest, but most weeks it's going to be you and me facing the tough stuff together. Look, grief is the foundation of being human, from the big losses to the everyday stressors. It is hard to be here. Sometimes talking about pain is hard. It feels awkward, it feels daunting, and I want to make this so much easier on you. Each week, we'll use your questions to explore the skills you need to show up for yourself and for others. It's practical insight and advice drawn from my decades of experience as a psychotherapist and as a grieving person. It all starts out awkward, but I tell you this stuff gets easier to talk about once you get going. So how do we respond after something's gone horribly wrong?
