How to Rebuild Your Life While Grieving with Carrie Hopkins-Doubts
Text your thoughts and questions!
Content Warning: Today’s conversation has very brief mentions of the loss of a loved one, and the loss of a child by suicide. If these are triggers for you, I gently encourage you to wait to listen or proceed carefully.
Grief is a universal human experience, yet it can feel deeply isolating when we’re in the throes of it, often feeling hopeless and stuck. It can be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and feel impossible to move forward. Carrie Hopkins-Doubts, a grief coach, knows this feeling well as she experienced it herself and now guides others on their journey to rebuild their life after loss. This week, episode 222 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to rebuild your life while grieving.
Carrie Hopkins-Doubts, PCC, is a Spiritual Resilience Coach working with men and women experiencing major life transitions, whether in relationships, careers, health, or spirituality. As the founder of Life’s Next Chapter Coaching, Carrie’s passion is helping men and women discover new dreams for themselves as they consciously and powerfully rebuild their lives after loss by guiding them to reconnect with their heart, reclaim their power, and realign with their purpose to create their life’s next chapter.
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, Carrie Hopkins-Doubts shares specific steps to help you identify where you are in your grief path and offers actionable steps to move forward and rebuild your life after loss.
Carrie and I cover the following topics:
- How grief affects individuals on multiple levels - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, often leading to a shift in identity.
- Conscious grief: meeting and honoring your emotions with compassion and self-love, rather than avoiding or suppressing them.
- Self-care during grief is an essential habit to create the capacity for change and forward movement.
- Finding a safe space, whether through a support group or a trusted individual, when processing your grief.
As you navigate grief, remember that you are not alone and you have the resilience to rebuild your life in a way that honors your loss and allows new growth to emerge.
