Grief and Recovery. Moving Forward After Loss While Honoring Our Loved Ones with James LaVeck

  1. Grief and Recovery. Moving Forward After Loss While Honoring Our Loved Ones with James LaVeck Emily Thiroux Threatt 30:21

Is it possible to talk about grief, honor our loved ones, and move forward with our grief without living in sorrow and despair?

In today’s special episode, I’m joined by the Author, Actor, Transformational Coach, and Grief Expert, James LaVeck. The loss of James’ second husband changed not only the way he felt and perceived the loss of his first husband but also his whole perspective on grief and how people deal with loss. He authored three books on grief, and developed tools to help grievers deal with their sorrow and find the right community for them, among many other valuable resources, which can be found in his third book, “Grief Recovery for Adults.”

Throughout this episode, you’ll hear about James’ grief journey, how losing his second husband changed his perspective on grief, and why he feels the second loss put the first one in perspective, and helped him realize the first loss prepared him for the second one. James also shares his thoughts on “the right time” to start dating again after losing a loved one, and the resources he used to feel alive again when he felt half of him was gone after the loss of his first husband.

Plus, James talks about finding gratitude and purpose in grief, the importance of finding new passions and aiming for Growth, and much more.

Emily Thiroux Threatt Podcast Host, Facilitator, Author

Having gone through the experience of the deaths of so many loved ones, I have learned to face life with love, optimism, and joy.

I have kept journals and written to express myself most of my life which led me to a career of teaching writing and writing books. I naturally turned to writing to help deal with my grief, then I discovered I could use writing to help friends deal with grief, too.

In contemplating how I could best help the grieving people I was working with, my Ignite moment came when realized the importance of helping people understand the importance of happiness and how they could grieve and be happy at the same time.

To share my message, I host the Grief and Happiness podcast, I wrote the book Loving and Living Your Way Though Grief, I facilitate weekly meetings of the Grief and Happiness Alliance, I founded the Grief and Happiness nonprofit foundation, I publish a weekly newsletter and blog, and my new book, The Grief and Happiness Handbook is coming out soon.
