The Death Discussions - Living With Grief

In this episode Finn and Lydia discuss the ways in which we approach death and grieving in the modern day.We compare the different death rituals used in cultures around the world and ponder on how we could learn from them and even look at begining to ameliorate our attitude towards the cycle of life and death and integrate that into daily life so that we are better placed to process the emotions both physically and emotionally when we are faced with them.

We talk about ways in which we can help ourselves and those around us through the grieving process, via supplements to calm the nervous system, breath practices to ground us back into our bodies and our favourite resources both in print and on the web to draw wisdom from.

We mentioned a few handy reading references during this episode -

No Matter What - Debi Gliori
Michael Rosen's Sad Book - Michael Rosen
