Real Grief – Real Healing with Mindy Corporon #7 | What Happened to My Safe Bubble?

Have you cried yet? Have tempers flared in your household? Are you exhausted from cooking, cleaning and rearranging your ENTIRE life? The abruptness of COVID-19 shook our home the same as every other person, IN THE WORLD. 

The difference between our family and most others, is that we had already lived through a similar life altering experience. I expect that every family who has lost a child, in any way, and/or a family member to a violent crime, has similar feelings to me. 

I love living in my safe bubble. I enjoy knowing...my schedule, that I can drive to the grocery store, I can attend a yoga class, speaking engagements are on the calendar...I simply enjoy KNOWING. Not knowing, takes me into a frenzy and subsequently, depression. 

In the midst of challenges, we are typically unstable and on shaky ground. It is in this time of uncertainty where growing out of our own skin and changing old habits create space for imagination, innovation and a new intellect which spark a flame. A flame, we didn’t even know was needed, which launches us into _________. When needed, make a pivot. 

In this episode of Real Grief - Real Healing, I share current examples from relatives and friends coping with grief, births and life changes during COVID-19. My conversation with you takes a pivot, when I introduce you to a challenge I faced, after my son was murdered in his freshman year of high school.  

My friends, stay at home, stay healthy, wash your hands and feel confident when you pivot.
