Healing From Grief

Today I’m talking to Emotional Wellness Coach, Jasmine Johnson, about grief and how to properly heal from it.  The conversation with Jasmine and I went from discussing the different types of grief, dating, marriage, cancer, and nutrition. And guess what? It’s all connected!

 

Jasmine’s Bio

Jasmine M. Johnson is a writer, mentor, cancer survivor, and Emotional Wellness Coach. Through her business, Embrace Your Healing, she serves women who have experienced loss and are struggling to navigate the grief journey. Her passion for supporting those who are grieving stems from her own extensive journey with loss over the course of her life. Among those losses, the most devastating was the death of her mother in 2016. Knowing that such a significant loss could cause her to lose her will to live, Jasmine made the choice to be intentional about obtaining support to process her grief in a healthy way. The freedom that she experienced (via therapy, grief support, and emotional/spiritual healing) ignited a flame in her to support others in their journey to healing and wholeness, know firsthand that grief is not something that should be tackled alone. Utilizing her Intentional Healing Method, Jasmine helps women to give language to their pain, embrace healing, and go from a place of simply surviving to thriving.

 

One thing that stuck out:

You can’t heal from what you fail to acknowledge.

 

The Intentional Steps of Healing – 22:08

1. Compassion – show it towards ourselves and others on the journey.
2. Process – begin to give language to your pain. Feel what you need to feel.
3. Locate – Identify the stages of grief and determine where you are in the process.
4. Faith – The foundation of our hope
5. Support – What support is needed to heal in a healthy manner? Is a support system currently in place?
6. Acceptance – Coming to terms with our past.

 

Final Comments from Jasmine:

What you are experiencing is normal.  You are not the only one who feels what you feel. It’s okay to feel how you feel. Acknowledge it and embrace it.

Grief is a journey that should not be traveled alone.
