What Healing In Grief Actually Means

Grief isn't something you just 'get over'. In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with grief therapist Katherine Hatch, who has spent years pondering what healing in grief really means. Katherine argues that healing isn't about returning to 'normal', but about finding a way to live within your grief. Through her experience, she’s noticed a pattern: those who feel seen and understood by others—whether it's friends or strangers—are the ones who manage to move forward.

It’s not about time passing; it’s about connection and empathy. Katherine also emphasizes the importance of self-witnessing, suggesting that true healing comes from feeling seen not just by others, but by ourselves. This episode dives deep into themes of death, trauma, spirituality, and self-compassion, offering a fresh perspective on how to navigate the complexities of grief. If you're struggling with loss or supporting someone who is, Katherine's insights might just be the balm you need.
