Love, Recovery, and Rock & Roll

Grief & Loss
Episode #9:Julia Parent, ACHMC at Turning Point shares her personal journey with grief & loss while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments while she completed her Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and worked as an intern at Turning Point. We also discuss the Grief Wheel from the initial stage of loss through recovery and how grief is cyclical as recovery from the loss of a loved one, disease (including addition), even situations that may seem happy (e.g. moving, starting a new job, having a baby), and many other life events. Most importantly we focus on how you can successfully manage the complexities of grief & loss in a healthy way. Episode Song: Just Breathe by Pearl Jam Lyrics Yes I understandThat every life must endAs we sit aloneI know someday we must go Yeah I’m a lucky manTo count on both handsThe ones I loveSome folks just have oneYeah others they got none Stay with meLet’s just breathe Practiced on our sinsNever gonna let me winUnder everythingJust another human being I don’t want to hurtThere’s so much in this worldTo make me believe Stay with meAll I see Did I say that I need you?Did I say that I want you?What if I did and I’m a fool you seeNo one knows this more than me‘Cause I come clean I wonder everydayAs I look upon your faceEverything you gaveAnd nothing you would takeNothing you would takeEverything you gave Did I say that I need you?Did I say that I want you?What if I did and I’m a fool you seeNo one knows this more than meI come clean Nothing you would takeEverything you gaveHold me ’till I dieMeet you on the other side
