73: Grief Comes for Us All (Mandy Capehart)

Being gentle, going slowly, and finding hope from the birds

Trauma-informed Certified Grief Educator Mandy Capehart knows a thing or two about sorrow. Her first deep dive into grief came with the surprising and rapid decline of her mother in 2016. From there, she began learning all she could about how we grieve and what might help us heal.

On this week’s episode of The Thing with Feathers Mandy describes how playfulness, curiosity, being present, and gentle practices like birding can help us walk through our grief.

I’ve admired Mandy’s honesty about her own grief as well as her invitations to each of us to participate in the work of grief.

Plus, we cover Cate Blanchette’s hatred of leaf blowers (go Cate!), how we might befriend sorrow, purpose, identity, safety, and so much more.


Thanks for listening, friends!

Until next time,

Keep looking up.
