Thanks for listening

Thank you for sharing your story. Our story is similar, my mom died at 70 from stage 4 lung cancer and we took care of her. It has been 4 years and I miss her tremendously every day. I think I will be grieving until I am gone . She was extremely good human being. I love her, appreciate her and wish mom could have been longer in this life.

We are so sorry for your loss. We are here for you!

I find your podcast very informative. It helps me to understand how to process my grief. I lost my mum few days ago. I am grateful for the last 2 months that I had to spend with my mum but it was very hard too. I feel that my grief is my love language when it comes to mum. My mum was expected to go but I didn’t want her to leave me. I did everything I could. She also had fluids in her left lung where her heart was so I had to drain her lung and support her heart function to control b/pressure. I know that my mum felt my love and she is loved. She was comfortable and pain free but I don’t know what to do with my self because I got used to care for her and now she is gone but o the better place. I am sending lots of love to everyone who is grieving ❤

Thank you for returning to podcasts. I have followed you and you helped me since April 2020 when my 48 year old son had the first of 4 craniotomies due to a rare brain cancer: Anaplastic pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma BRAF V600E. WHO Grade III. I lived with him, he lived with me, and we were together for all the very rough therapies. He passed away January 2024. I’m in a zoom Grief Group which I appreciate but do not truly relate to anyone. Fortunately, I’m also active in 3 Bible Studies, have a disciplined approach to nutrition and exercise. Thanks again for being s😅 very helpful. Judy W

What’s the MDR?

[@AmenClinic]

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an interactive psychotherapeutic technique that can be very helpful for people who have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related symptoms or conditions. Research suggests that traumatic events can interfere with how the brain processes information. Consequently, the experience and memories can get “stuck” in the brain and make a person vulnerable to conscious or unconscious triggers from recollections, images, sounds, smells, and feelings that are reminiscent of the traumatic experience.
