When The Going Gets Tough: Being With Our Grief

Life After Birth with Yara Heary

Hi Mamas.

This week I’m talking about grief. The grief that’s in me and I’m guessing may also be in you. We have the grief that comes from our personal lives/mothering, and then there is the grief that comes from knowing about the harm and loss that is occurring in the world around us – and from feeling unable to change that. It’s been a big year of loss and atrocities, and as we approach the holiday season in a post US election moment – I’m REALLY feeling it.

So I’m briefly talking about grief this week and then I’m re-sharing a being-with-grief practice that I shared in June of 2023. This practice is to support you in acknowledging, hearing and feeling the parts within you that are holding grief. It is not intended to help you “fix” your grief, because there is nothing to be fixed. We are human after all, and part of being human is grieving. It’s all about being with.

I am planning to host a free online gathering for mamas in the next few weeks with the wonderful Kelly Wright who works alongside me. The aim is to explore as a community what it might look like to be with our feelings/parts and how we might do that. If you are interested in joining us, please join my mailing list HERE so you get notified when we’ve organised a date.

I hope this episode provides just what you are needing at this time. Go gently with yourself.
