Summary

Grief is something we all go through at some point, but most people don’t really know how to deal with it.

We’re often told that “time heals all wounds” or that “moving on means forgetting,” but those ideas can actually keep us stuck in pain.

In this episode, Tim Ringgold, a board-certified music therapist and grief counselor, joins me to share his powerful story of loss from losing five close friends to the heartbreaking death of his young daughter from a rare disease.

Tim opens up about the importance of music during his dark times and how it can help you heal.

We’re talking about why grief doesn’t follow a set timeline, how ignoring your emotions keeps you stuck, and how to heal without forgetting the people you’ve lost.

Tim also explains the best ways to support someone who’s grieving. He shares what to say (and what NOT to say) to someone who's hurting.

If you or someone you love has experienced loss, this episode will give you hope, guidance, and practical advice for navigating grief and finding peace again.

This conversation is filled with powerful lessons about love, loss, and learning to live fully again.

So, join us today if you’re feeling stuck in sadness, unsure how to move forward, or you just want to know how to be there for someone who’s grieving.
