Hope Edelman joins me on the Calmer You podcast for a deep dive into the experience of grief. Hope has been writing, speaking, and leading workshops and retreats in the bereavement field for more than 25 years. She was 17 when she lost her mother to breast cancer. And 40 when her father died. Events that inspired her to offer grief education and support to those who cannot otherwise receive it.

We discuss:

The pressure on us to be grieving 'properly'?
What advice do you have for people who are fearful about loved ones dying?
How can we support someone else in grief?
Hope shares her perspective on 5 stages of grief - and why many of us have gotten this wrong
Why we're communally grieving after the year we've had

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Karma You podcast. This is your host, Chloe Brotheridge. I'm a coach, a
0:08.4	hypnototherapist, and I'm the author of The Anxiety Solution and Brave New Girl. And this podcast is all
0:14.9	about helping you to become your calmest, happiest and most confident self. On today's podcast,
0:20.6	I am talking to author Hope Endelman.
0:25.0	She's the author of the new book, The After Degree, Finding Your Way Along the Long Argue of Loss.
0:30.7	And so in this discussion, we talk about the pressure on us to be grieving properly.
0:36.6	We talk about what advice Hope has for people who are
0:40.6	fearful about loved ones dying. And we talk about how we can support someone else in their grief.
0:47.2	Hope also shares her perspective on the five stages of grief, which is something we've all heard of.
0:52.7	And turns out this isn't actually
0:55.0	what we think it is. And there's a lot of confusion around this. So I'm really, really glad
1:00.6	that she cleared this up and it made a lot more sense. And she shares about why many of us
1:05.5	gotten this wrong and a different perspective on the five stages of grief. And she also
1:10.2	shares about how we're communally grieving after the five stages of grief. And she also shares about how we're
1:12.1	communally grieving after the year that we've had and what we can do about that. I have to say that
1:18.7	there was a part of me that almost didn't want to have this conversation with hope. I found
1:24.1	myself, I think like lots of us, not wanting to think about grief, not wanting to think
1:29.7	about people dying. I think that could be part of the problem, the fact that we don't have
1:33.6	these conversations enough, the fact that we don't talk about the topic of death and dying
1:38.4	enough. And so I'm really, really glad that I did talk to her in the end. I hope this interview
1:42.8	is helpful for you, whether you've lost someone yourself or whether you just want to have more tools and have
1:49.9	more of a conversation around this or support other people who've experienced loss.
