Processing Grief & Loss
This page ‘Processing Grief and Loss’ comes on the heels of a couple of radio shows where the discussion was about grief and loss and the work of hospice and holding the space. Followed by the passing of Jeanie’s brother in 2020. This section is dedicated to tools regarding Grief and Loss and how to process through it.

Zach Bush MD, is a triple board certified physician and one of the most compelling medical minds currently working to improve our understanding of human and environmental health. “I had one ICU shift that was very weird… During that night I had, in the middle of my 36 hour shift… I see three people die and I bring them all back… Their first sentence was always “Why did you bring me back?” It is not the end, “what I’ve seen it to be is a massive expansion of consciousness, of reality, of awareness, and ultimately of love.” “We are going to transform. Period. And it may be at the point of our death or, miraculously, it might just happen right before it.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLaVutWXju0
