Show Notes

Have you ever wondered about the impact of cultural beliefs on grief and loss? You're in for a profound exploration today as we engage with our guest, Krishma Tule Arora. Krishma will take us on a deeply personal journey, discussing her experience of losing her young child, and the mental health implications this had on her as a member of an immigrant family. We will pull back the layers on how cultural beliefs and stigmas around therapy can hinder the healing process and the delicate subject of replacing a lost child.

Losing a loved one to suicide is tragic and the grief that follows can be overwhelmingly complex. Krishma boldly unpacks this difficult subject, highlighting how cultural and religious beliefs can further entangle the grieving process. We will also talk about how she discovered solace in the therapeutic power of writing and used this to give voice to her grief, a journey that led to her fiction book, "From Ashes to Ashes".

Finally, we will venture into Krishma's transformative journey of growth, acceptance, and finding meaning after the loss. She unravels her experiences with professional grief support and coaching, emphasizing the importance of seeking help. We will also discuss the unexpected ways in which grief can manifest and the crucial role of self-care. Join us in this deeply moving conversation that seeks to demystify grief and offer hope to those on their own journeys of loss. This episode will resonate with any listener who has experienced loss or is interested in understanding the complexities of grief through a unique cultural lens.

Here's what we talk about:

  • The deeply ingrained cultural beliefs sometimes act as an impediment to a person's healing process.
  • How Krishma handles her family's expectations and way of grieving.
  • What cultural factors influence people to avoid sharing personal struggles with outsiders like counsellors or therapists?
  • Expressing your emotions through writing can be profoundly therapeutic and beneficial.
  • How did that loss shape Krishma, and in what ways did it help her grow as a person?
  • And much more!
