Episode Highlights
How is Grief Like a Corn Maze?
- From above a corn maze, you’re able to see the unique pattern that the rows follow. You can find the end without getting overwhelmed by the twists and turns. But when we’re inside the maze, trying to navigate the path successfully to the end, our perception gets more limited.
- We often come across dead ends, circle back on ourselves, and struggle.
- We can go into the same maze several times and find a different journey through each time.
- Every stage of the maze requires us to make a choice.
What are the Stages of Grief?
- Denial and isolation
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
How Can We Make Our Journey a Little Bit Easier?
- Recognize that you aren’t alone.
- Try a journal entry when things feel especially overwhelming. Put it all on a page, then close your journal and walk away.
- Create a space in your home where you can safely process, meditate, journal, etc.
5 Powerful Quotes
- “This twisting and turning, dead ends, circling, can mirror the stages of grief. These twists and turns exist because grief is not a linear journey.”
- “Recognizing this bigger picture, understanding that we aren’t alone in our experience, can help us frame our own journey.”
- “Everyone, and everything, can become the focus of our anger – we project our need to understand, to deal, onto people or objects we see.”
- “Journaling is fundamentally a very fluid approach to clarifying your thoughts.”
- “Ultimately, grief is a challenging thing to navigate. It’s a process we each have to go on and, because of how unique the experience is, it can feel lonely along the way.”
