As we enter the most wonderful time of year for many, the holidays can feel overwhelming for those who are suffering grief, heartache and woe. In this special episode of Aging GreatFULLy, we welcome Kathy Curtis, an expressive writing guide, sought after grief maven and author of Invisible Ink. Kathy’s programs have helped countless people process their emotions, improve their mental health, and access their spiritual strength during times of grief, illness, or other major stressors in life. Join us for this power-hour of healing and enlightYOUment as we talk about the many challenges people face during this glittery season that can magnify melancholy for some, including some solutions. We discuss how we can help others going through grief, what to say, and even how to honor those who are no longer with us. We address the challenges regarding expectations of others and put the spotlight on other losses, such as finances, fur children, sense of identity, and anything that may no longer be as it once was. And for those wishing to honor their loved ones, we share ideas on this special area of memorial tribute too. But, you may be wondering why the show is called A Hole in the Tree? And that’s something very special that Kathy shares on air – we’ll just say it’s a truly moving part of this episode. And, it’s also evidence of hope for everyone feeling they have a hole in their heart and hoping to feel more whole again one day. But the most incredible soul-enriching aspect of this episode may be when listeners are called to put pen to paper as Kathy shares a glimpse of her Invisible Ink writing program, leading listeners through a meditation and transformative writing prompt on air! In this powerful connection she makes with listeners, she calls upon them to take the first step towards a surprising and awe-inspiring connection to channel and release their inner writer towards their healing journey and even connections with loved ones passed. From beginning to end, this show is inspiring, powerful and holds the promise that this time of year often does. A must-listen for anyone who enjoys journaling, seeks to deal with their grief, is suffering or wishes to transform their healing journey.
