This week’s episode on The Tarot Diagnosis is a little different. Usually, we are full of laughs, a bit of sarcasm, and fun - but this episode is heavy....heavy in all the right and necessary ways. In Ep. 19 we talk about grief - how we can experience it, ways to manage the false expectations of what it should be, and explore potential pathways to continuing to live our own lives – all while still having our grief exist with us every damn day. One of our listeners wrote to us and shared their deeply personal and tragic experience with grief. We sat with that message for days - processing what was an intimate glimpse into their life - and frankly how much it rubbed uncomfortably against our own stories of grief. We knew we wanted to explore this for the listener and for others who have, who are, and who will inevitably experience the suffering of grief that comes with loss. To be totally honest though, we also ended up exploring it for ourselves (maybe even a little uncomfortably) through the process of pulling cards and talking about what it means to grieve and what it looks like to live with our grief. We wanted to do this story of grief justice, and to honor it though tarot, coupled with our knowledge of mental and emotion health, in the best possible way. We hope we did that here. So, we (along with your fellow listener) invite you to listen in on our most intimate (and emotional) conversation yet. Our hope is that this episode helps heal any grief in your own life, to develop more compassion for the experience of grief in those around you, and perhaps to better prepare for your own inevitable fate of grief. Final note, although we have done so already privately, we want to thank the listener who trusted us with her pain. We are truly privileged and forever grateful to you for your vulnerability and your courage.
