Thank you so much Linnea. That quote holds such profound truth, it’s a reminder of the deep connection we share as human beings. I’m grateful it resonated with you too.
Thank you both for this heartfelt conversation on this profoundly human and important topic. I was happy to meet Brian, he seems like a wonderful person.
Thank you for opening your heart to sharing your experience with grief. It is an extraordinary human emotion that we have been conditioned to shove down and keep hidden. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for this thoughtful message Cara. Grief is indeed one of our most profound human experiences, and it’s heartbreaking how often we’re taught to suppress it. I’m committed to continuing these honest conversations, there’s so much healing in simply being allowed to feel and be seen.
Thank you for sharing this insightful and heartfelt presentation with us, Dr Sara. It is great to meet Brian and learn from the insights of both. This is also a topic close to my heart. Therefore, your post deeply resonated with me. I will share it in my network.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful message and for taking the time to listen and share, Dr Mehmet. I'm glad the topic resonated with you, it's always encouraging to connect with others who care deeply about these conversations.
Thank you for this important conversation. My husband died four years ago, basically of COVID, but he also had dementia. We had been married for over 60 years. I had no idea of the amount of grief I feel even today. So, it's good to have this discussion. I also agree with the point about pets and loss - they are family.
Thank you for sharing something so personal and profound Janice. Sixty years of shared life and love is extraordinary, and the grief that follows such a loss is immeasurable. I'm deeply moved by your words, and honored that this conversation offered some comfort. You're absolutely right—pets are family, and their loss can be just as significant.
My condolences on losing your husband, Janice. Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback here. I also feel grief for losing my beloved pets decades ago, which still remain in my psyche.
Thank you so much for your kind words Pamela. I’m truly grateful that our stories resonated, and I deeply hope the conversation offered comfort or insight to those who needed it.
To say this was moving doesn’t begin to hit the nail let alone on the head. Thank you Sara and Brian for sharing your stories in relation to the loss and grief you’ve experienced related to your loved ones. Such an important conversation to have at any point in time in life but seems particularly poignant for Mental Health Awareness Month. If you have 50 or so minutes, it’s well worth watching. For me it felt like a therapy experience. I feel like I now know Sara and Brian below the surface a bit more. Priceless so thank you two!
Thank you deeply for these incredibly generous and heartfelt words Bronce. It means so much to know that the conversation resonated with you on such a profound level. Grief is such a universal experience, yet we often struggle to find spaces where it can be acknowledged with honesty, compassion, and depth. That’s why this exchange felt so important to share—especially during Mental Health Awareness Month, when we’re called to reflect not just on diagnoses or symptoms, but on the full human experience of love, loss, connection, and healing.
Thank you so much Julie, it was a pleasure to have you there. I’m really glad you could join, and I look forward to connecting again in future conversations. We’ll be receiving you with open arms in next week’s live session, can’t wait to have you with us again.
For so many years our society ignored the grief from lost. I am so glad you are discussing this topic to let others who've lost a close love one that they are not alone. Time does not heal the grief of loss.
Thank you Karen. For too long, grief has been shrouded in silence, dismissed as something to "get over" with time. But the pain of losing someone we deeply love doesn't vanish, it reshapes us. Acknowledging that grief is not linear or finite allows those who are grieving to feel seen, understood, and less alone. Conversations like this are vital reminders that mourning is not a weakness, but a reflection of love that endures.
What a lovely and heartfelt discussion. The quote from Ram Dass is also one of my absolute favorites. We are truly all just waking each other home.
🙏💜🙏
