Host Julia Marie interviews Reverend Christine Vaughn Davies, a Presbyterian minister and spiritual director, about grief and loss.
Davies explains that grief is not only associated with death but can also be related to changes in relationships, material possessions, physical functions, social roles, and personal dreams.
She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and naming these losses to understand and cope with the grief they cause.
Davies also discusses the physical toll of grief and suggests self-care strategies such as ensuring adequate sleep and nutrition.
She encourages people to seek out communities of support and to use spirituality as a tool for coping with grief.
Davies also advocates for advanced care planning to ease the burden on family members and caregivers in the event of a loved one's death.
