11. Normalizing Death & Navigating Loss: Insights from Guiding My Toddler Through the Expected Death of a Loved One
The forbidden "D" word!
No one likes talking about death, but this inevitable piece of our natural cycle of life shows us what's truly important.
Join me, your host Lauren Fortuna-Floch, as I share some of the beautiful lessons learned from navigating the recent death of a loved one.
We'll dive into:
- Unsubscribing from masculine hustle culture and instead stepping into a more feminine approach of doing business that's aligned and embodied, especially in my own season of grief.
- How I navigated supporting my toddler through witnessing and being involved in the dying process and the beautiful moments of compassion, connection, and understanding.
- The discovery of unexpected and profound parallels between birth and death.
Having these conversations helps to normalize death in our culture and gives us the tools to help our children navigate the complexities of loss, so they can both appreciate the beauty of the natural cycle of life, and acknowledge and feel through the heartache that comes with our fragile nature.
Join me for fresh perspectives on birth, death, and the connections that bind them.
