The Grief Mentor Method: Empowering Grievers To Navigate Loss and Heal with Meghan Riordan Jarvis
- The Grief Mentor Method: Empowering Grievers To Navigate Loss and Heal with Meghan Riordan Jarvis Emily Thiroux Threatt 38:38
Losing the person who was the center pole of your tent will cause your tent to fall, regardless of whether or not you are a grief specialist. Being a grief specialist doesn’t mean you are immune to grief; it means you are better equipped to go through it.
In this episode, I’m joined by the Podcast Host, TEDx Speaker, and trauma-trained Psychotherapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis. As a grief specialist, Meghan focused her 20+ years of experience on understanding grief’s multiple layers and finding new ways of supporting grievers. She authored two books about grief, “The End of the Hour,” and “Can Anyone Tell Me?” hosts the popular blog and Podcast “Grief Is My Side Hustle,” and offers a free writing workshop, “Grief Mates.”
Throughout this episode, Meghan shares her experiences of feeling lost while navigating grief as a grief specialist and the unexpected loss of her primary attachment that “took her tent down.” Meghan also highlights the alarming lack of grief training for clinicians and doctors and accessible support for grievers, explains her six-component framework, the Grief Mentor Method, and much more.
Tune in and listen to episode 270 of Grief and Happiness, and learn more about grief’s complexities, the effects of losing primary attachments, and the unique challenges grief specialists face.
