How to Live and Grieve Simultaneously: Navigating Life After Loss with Dr. Cristie Ritz-King

I Wonder, Getting Curious with Dr. Cristie

Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Cristie Ritz-King, and in this episode, I want to share some personal insights and professional wisdom on a topic that's very close to my heart: living and grieving simultaneously. Life after loss can be incredibly challenging, and it's something many of us struggle to navigate. I'll be discussing my own experiences, including bittersweet moments like my nephew's wedding, and how we can honor our loved ones while continuing to live fully. Join me as we explore the complexities of grief and healing together.

Main Takeaways:

Grief and Love Coexist: Grief lives as long as love lasts. It's not something to fix or heal completely; it's part of your journey as long as you continue to love those you've lost.

Bittersweet Moments: Joy and sadness can coexist. Celebrations can be tinged with grief, but that doesn't diminish the happiness or the importance of the event.

Living and Grieving Simultaneously: Life doesn't pause for grief. It's about finding a balance between living fully and honoring your grief.

Quotes:

"Grief lives as long as love lasts. As long as I love those I've lost, I'll carry a bit of grief with me."

"Living and grieving simultaneously is challenging. We don't always get a timeout to process loss; life keeps moving."

"Our job is to live and grieve simultaneously. It's not about moving on, but about moving forward with our grief."
