My guest Cheryl has always wanted to be a helper and very early on in her social work career she learned that her journey, her path, would be one that not many at the time were willing to take. Her work as one of the first social workers working with AIDS patients at Sunnybrook Hospital, through her private practice to now as a healer and teacher, has taught her that to be truly happy you must understand and embrace grief.
Over the past 10+ months, while we’ve all been immersed in the collective global trauma (aka the pandemic), she has come to recognize through her own suffering, that when we embrace grief, we reduce our suffering.
I loved how she highlighted through her story, that pain is an integral part of the growth process. And my HUGE takeaway was…
“Embracing grief requires 1 - being the forever student and a willingness to stay curious about yourself and the world. And 2 - Practice radical acceptance, this will allow you to choose actions that meet you where you are HERE AND NOW.”
