189. Bringing Hope to the Realities of Grief: A Path to Understanding and Healing [with Krista St-Germain]

Blended Family Breakthrough

It's hard to accept that grief is simply a part of every blended family's journey. But that's your reality because everyone in your family has experienced some kind of loss along the way.

If you aren't able to acknowledge grief and create a safe space to process through it, you'll miss out on valuable opportunities that lead to healing.

In this episode, you'll discover a few truths about grief that you probably haven't considered before — plus the positive impact of allowing yourself and your kids to embrace your unique grief journey.

Our special guest, Krista St-Germain, shares her personal experience of unexpected loss and critical realities that she's discovered about grief.

Krista's traumatic circumstances eventually led her on a journey of hope and healing. As a life coach, she now devotes herself to equipping others with powerful tools to manage grief and love life again — and to help their kids do the same.

Understanding the impact of loss and grief and creating opportunities to heal together is essential for blended families. That's why we're excited to welcome Krista to the show!

You'll Discover:

• How to normalize what's normal about loss and grief
• The reality of grief being a natural human response to a perceived loss
• How to help your kids acknowledge and process grief
• What is trauma and post-traumatic growth
