Amanda Kloots On Dealing With Grief and How To Ask For Help

[@susie-moore]

Let me what your favorite takeaway from this interview is! 👇

[@patriciasimon5888]

This video made me tear up. If there is such a thing as positive grieving this would be it. I think my favorite takeaway is learning how we can grieve a loved one's loss by honoring how he has made our lives beautiful. In Amanda's case, her husband's sickness (and later on death) showed her how much their family and friends love her. I also love the part about being authentic when comforting a person who is grieving, this resonated with me a lot. Overall, great interview, I was engaged all throughout. Awesome job, Suzie! And gratitude to Amanda as well for sharing her story.

I'm crying thinking of this picture of Nick getting his wish of the family being together 😭

[@livingsacrifice09]

Asking for help is a sign of strength. That's so good!

[@bjsmith4310]

Just being their for someone in their time of grief is a beautiful thing. Just keeping another person's' spirits up.

[@susie-moore]

So very true, Bj!

What has stayed with me has simply been the notion that we are not alone. That no matter what we're going through, there's 'something greater' we can rest into for support and love. What a wonderful interview.

[@susie-moore]

Yes, Kim!! We are NEVER alone! Love it! ❤️

I lost my dad with Covid too, and Amanda has been an anchor in to staying positive and loving life besides everything. Everything she shares sometimes feels like a sign. Especially the grief part, is the emotional support i need when sometimes i don’t be brave enough to ask for it. Accepting death is accepting life, and just like she said you learn to live with it, it doesn’t go away. Grief is constant remainder that life is a cycle and that someday it will be our turn, not feel afraid of it, mourning hurts more than dying.

Oh, Mariel! I am so sorry! Grief is extremely hard for sure! Amanda is amazing - and so are you! ❤️

My takeaway - that we all will experience grief and that we grow around our grief. No, it doesn't just disappear one day but it has become a smaller part of us because we have continued to live and learn and grow. Also, the asking "How are you today?" to allow for a more meaningful answer rather than the "fine/good" we normally get. This was a really great interview.

Susie, I couldn't love this interview more!! SO, SO GOOD!! I love especially the conversation you and Amanda have around how to do a check in with someone who is grieving. SO HELPFUL and not something I have known how to handle before this interview. 💕

[@susie-moore]

Love that you found this helpful! Thank you for sharing, Kelly!❤️

[@livingsacrifice09]

Ok. Couple of big things said here... The question "How are you today?" And "just be yourself" was huge. The fact Nick got his wish when all his family were together... barely holding it together over here 😭 Susie I did notice the ease you spoke to her during the interview. Not sure if you talk that way to everyone... but you had Amanda leaning into the camera a few times. That was great to watch. Great interview! @Alivia Barrett

Yes! It is a loveletter to Nick indeed! Wonderfully put, Susie! I’ve been intervalling both the ebook and the audiobook for the past hours. Because with this story that is so personal with Amanda having shared already so much, you need her voice to guide you through as well as your eyes running over the words...❤️🙏

@@kellymorrison9925 Wow, thank you soo much!!

[@yamilisa]

There were a lot of takeaways in this, but I think the most important one for me was, when someone has lost someone, you often don't know how to react. So the idea of just being yourself, not putting up an act, and just being there, I'll remember that. I didn't know Amanda, but I wish her and her family all the best. And I'll be looking up that song too, I'm curious now.

[@susie-moore]

Yes!! Love this! I found that super helpful as well!

[@JaniceDruExecutiveMarketing]

Asking for help is a strength... Also, we grow around the grief that we have -- the hole that grief leaves in our heart doesn't shrink, but we change and evolve around it.

[@susie-moore]

You are absolutely right, Janice! ❤️
