🎯 "Loss is loss. And we lose not only loved ones, but we lose a lot of different aspects in our life. Losing a child through disconnection... that is a really serious aspect of grief."Jock Brocas—spiritual medium, psychologist researcher, ex-military, and grief expert—explains the unique grief of alienated parents during what he calls the "Bermuda Triangle" of holidays (Thanksgiving through New Year).This conversation addresses the grief no one talks about: when your child is alive but you've lost them. When they've rejected you or been turned against you. When you're experiencing what Jock calls "living bereavement."What You'll Learn:✅ Why grief isn't the five stages you learned (and what it actually is)✅ The "golden thread" that runs through every type of loss✅ Why disconnection—not death—is at the heart of all grief✅ The first grief people don't recognize: disconnection from yourself✅ Why holidays amplify grief for parents separated from children✅ How anger serves a purpose (and what to do with it)✅ The power of journaling—written, video, or audio✅ Why gratitude needs to go deeper than surface level✅ How to know yourself when you've lost your center✅ Practical tools for processing grief without closureAbout Jock Brocas:Jock Brocas is a spiritual medium, psychologist researcher (finishing Masters in Transformational Psychology), founding chief editor of Paranormal Daily News, and author of multiple internationally published books. With backgrounds in military service and monastery training, Jock brings unique perspective to grief work—combining spiritual wisdom with psychological research.
