Let's Talk About Grief With Anne

By: Anne DeButte
  • Summary

  • Grief is messy. It's the opposite of linear. It can be dark and wacky, lonely or not, love-filled or seemingly lacking - but it is so very alive. No two people experience this process in quite the same way. These episodes are conversation starters for dealing with dying, death, and grief, part therapy and part storytelling in disguise. They'll shine a light, giving you hope and understanding of how others have managed their grief. Also, they are an insightful guide to life's many losses. You don't have to struggle alone?

  • Sherrie Dunlevy with Anne - The Final Journey: Grieving and Letting Go
    Dec 14 2024

    Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

    Hello, listeners, and welcome to another episode of our grief journey. Today, we will bid farewell to the podcast in this heartfelt episode. Joined by co-host Sherrie Dunlevy, we discuss the emotional journey of letting go, the importance of rituals, and creating meaningful transitions. Anne reflects on memorable moments, gratitude, and support from listeners and guests. The episode concludes with a symbolic funeral for the podcast, celebrating its impact and growth.

    Letting go of a legacy project wasn't easy. The podcast was to end this year and shouldn't be taken lightly. To do it justice, I enrolled in this helpful class created by Dr. Sarah Kerr and learnt the difference between a good funeral and a bad one. If interested, please see the details here. I used this knowledge to support me in creating a ritual for our final interview.

    The music used at the beginning is called Shooting the Breeze and was the intro/outro music used since the podcast began

    The final music called Summer Positive Jazz began and ended our interviews for the last few years.

    Here are the words to the song by Rod Stewart I'm Sailing

    I am sailing, I am sailing

    Home again 'cross the sea

    I am sailing stormy waters

    To be near you, to be free

    [Verse 2]

    I am flying, I am flying

    Like a bird 'cross the sky

    I am flying, passing high clouds

    To be with you, to be free

    [Chorus]

    Can you hear me, can you hear me

    Thro' the dark night, far away

    I am dying, forever crying

    To be with you, who can say

    Can you hear me, can you hear me

    Thro' the dark night far away

    I am dying, forever crying

    To be with you, who can say

    [Verse 3]

    We are sailing, we are sailing

    Home again 'cross the sea

    We are sailing stormy waters

    To be near you, to be free

    [Outro]

    Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free

    Oh (My) Lord, to be near you, to be free

    Oh Lord

    Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free

    Oh (My) Lord, to be near you, to be free

    Oh Lord

  • Adam Zuckerman - How Estate Planning Provides Comfort in Difficult Times
    Sep 7 2024

    Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

    Welcome to our show, everyone. In today's episode, we'll delve into the crucial aspects of end-of-life tasks and estate preparation. These are not just mundane tasks, but they hold significant importance in our lives, whether you've thought about them or not.

    Before you press end and leave, I invite you to stay tuned for insights into this very interesting and often difficult problem. It's inevitable, and you cannot imagine the profound impact it can have as we navigate grief and support our loved ones whilst doing the two planning sessions.

    When end-of-life matters are left unaddressed, families can face unexpected rifts and challenges. This is especially true when the burden falls on the named executor to decipher the wishes of their loved ones. So, I hope you're still with us and join my guest, Adam Zuckerman, as we explore this significant and thoughtful preparation and its role in fostering unity and clarity during difficult times.

    As I mentioned, our guest, Adam, is a lawyer and businessman who's had personal experience with this topic. I believe this gave him the vision to create this online platform to support others.

    He is indeed the founder of Buried in Work and brings a wealth of expertise to guide us through the essential steps requiring preparation for what's in front of each one of us.

    Here's what we talk about:

    • Why do people shy away from discussing end-of-life topics
    • The challenges families might face when there is no estate plan in place
    • How can families overcome the discomfort often associated with talking about estate planning
    • The importance of partners' involvement in financial planning
    • And much more!

  • Dr. Julie Kaplow - Healing Young Hearts: Effective Strategies for Supporting Children & Youth After Loss
    Aug 24 2024

    Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

    Hello, listeners, and welcome to another episode of our grief journey. Today, we will discuss with our guest, Dr. Julie Kaplow, how we can better support children and adolescents undergoing grief.

    You'll learn that children's and youth's grief is unique, and it's through Dr. Kaplow's pioneering work has led to the development of evidence-based interventions such as multidimensional grief therapy, or MGT.

    Dr. Kaplow is an expert in childhood trauma and bereavement, and she is the executive director of the Trauma and Grief Children's Center in New Orleans.

    I understand that there's a 300-plus-person waitlist for this bereavement care. Now, that has me thinking: If this is just one state and these are the numbers, can you imagine what those waitlist numbers are worldwide?

    Here's what we talk about:

    • What is Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT), and how does it help children and teens process their emotions after the death of a loved one?
    • Addressing grief in children of different ages
    • Behavioral changes parents should look for that signal their child needs additional emotional support
    • Some ways parents can model healthy grieving behaviors for their children
    • And much more!
