Let's Talk About Grief With Anne

Grief is messy. It's the opposite of linear. It can be dark and wacky, lonely or not, love-filled or seemingly lacking - but it is so very alive. No two people experience this process in quite the same way. These episodes are conversation starters for dealing with dying, death, and grief, part therapy and part storytelling in disguise. They'll shine a light, giving you hope and understanding of how others have managed their grief. Also, they are an insightful guide to life's many losses. You don't have to struggle alone?

Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!

Hello, listeners, and welcome to another episode of our grief journey. Today, we will bid farewell to the podcast in this heartfelt episode. Joined by co-host Sherrie Dunlevy, we discuss the emotional journey of letting go, the importance of rituals, and creating meaningful transitions. Anne reflects on memorable moments, gratitude, and support from listeners and guests. The episode concludes with a symbolic funeral for the podcast, celebrating its impact and growth.

Letting go of a legacy project wasn't easy. The podcast was to end this year and shouldn't be taken lightly. To do it justice, I enrolled in this helpful class created by Dr. Sarah Kerr and learnt the difference between a good funeral and a bad one. If interested, please see the details here. I used this knowledge to support me in creating a ritual for our final interview.

The music used at the beginning is called Shooting the Breeze and was the intro/outro music used since the podcast began

The final music called Summer Positive Jazz began and ended our interviews for the last few years.

Here are the words to the song by Rod Stewart I'm Sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing

Home again 'cross the sea

I am sailing stormy waters

To be near you, to be free

[Verse 2]

I am flying, I am flying

Like a bird 'cross the sky

I am flying, passing high clouds

To be with you, to be free

[Chorus]

Can you hear me, can you hear me

Thro' the dark night, far away

I am dying, forever crying

To be with you, who can say

Can you hear me, can you hear me

Thro' the dark night far away

I am dying, forever crying

To be with you, who can say

[Verse 3]

We are sailing, we are sailing

Home again 'cross the sea

We are sailing stormy waters

To be near you, to be free

[Outro]

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free

Oh (My) Lord, to be near you, to be free

Oh Lord

Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free

Oh (My) Lord, to be near you, to be free

Oh Lord
