How can talking about our loved ones who passed bring comfort during times of grief?

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kandiee Campbell, a Transformational Therapist and Grief Counselor, Author, and Host of the Awaken Hope Radio Show. Through her compassionate approach to grief, Kandiee offers comfort and relief to grievers, helping them to heal from the inside out.

We had a fantastic conversation about connection, the different shapes and colors of grief, and the transformative power of acts of kindness. Kandiee also shared her thoughts on how most people approach and offer help to grievers, the benefits of putting pen to paper and expressing our feelings and emotions to process pain, and the importance of being present, listening, and offering specific, thoughtful support instead of generic condolences.

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.
