Navigating Grief with Humor and Chickens: Angela Shelton and Aly Drummond's Approach
But at the same time, I'm not saying that's the only way to handle grief, because, because that was an exceptional example, I think it's ok to feel like shit.
Grief is a tough journey, but who says it can't come with a few laughs and some feathered friends? In this episode of '101 Ways to Heal That Sh*t', hosts Angela Shelton and Aly Drummond dive into their personal experiences with grief and share practical techniques for coping. Angela opens up about her own deep-seated grief, shedding light on how she found solace in the most unexpected of places – baby chickens. Yes, you read that right.
Her daily updates about her chickens have become a delightful distraction for many. Aly, on the other hand, shares the inspiring story of her family friend Kathy Eldon, who found creative ways to navigate her own grief journey. The episode also explores the 7 stages of grief and introduces the Sword of Trauma Healing Course available on Survivor Manual. Angela and Aly discuss the concept of the 'new normal' and emphasize the importance of community and support during tough times.
This episode is not just about sorrow; it's about finding light in the darkest of places, whether through humor, creativity, or even a few clucks from baby chickens.
