See My Grief - A Podcast from Conversations with Kelly

The Heart of Gratitude

In this episode Jeffrey starts off reading a beautiful passage on gratitude written by a dear friend of CWK, Judy E. Judy wrote this for Kelly’s book, A Comforted Heart.

In this podcast we learn that moments change with gratitude. Although we are not expected to be grateful all the time, we can each have moments in our days that, if present, we can appreciate. Kelly discusses a practice that can allow us to step into more gratitude daily.

Thank you for listening! It is our hope you will be inspired throughout this episode regardless of where you are in your life.

The Courage to Hope

In this episode we learn hope is something available to all of us regardless of where we are in life. We discuss how hope can be thought of a something that is unattainable and not realistic. Rather, hope is a mental break from negativity and fear. It is available to each of us until the end of life.

Loving Deeply Is Grieving Deeply

In this episode of Conversations with Kelly you will discover that when we invest intensely in a relationship we will naturally grieve deeply when the relationship changes or is lost. Grief is a reaction to a loss while the loss is the event itself. This is an important distinction because when we view grief as an event, we naturally expect it to have a beginning, a middle and an end. Grief, however, does not know these markers; it is a lifetime reaction to a loss. Grief hurts our body physically and our soul emotionally. Listen in to learn and affirm what you can expect when you lose something or someone of significance. In time you can find comfort in knowing that eventually you will tell your grief, “It is okay to stay.”

Curing vs. Healing

In this, our inaugural episode of the Conversations with Kelly podcast, you will learn how healing is possible for all of us no matter what struggles we are experiencing or what stage of life we are in. Healing comes in the form of forgiveness of self and of others, gratitude, apologies and love. Love is an antidote for much of what we suffer from. Forgiveness is not about condoning the hurt of another or self; it is about setting oneself free from the agony of holding onto the pain. The love is for self. Loving yourself is enough to surrender this angst. It is never too late to heal the wounds of our lives. The Hawaiian healing practice ho’oponopono was developed by Mormah Nalamaku Simeona. Listen to learn how four powerful phrases can change your life for the better. As you practice, you will heal -- and you will add to your quality of living.
