#145. How can a metaphorical bag of compost help us get through grief? Let's find out.This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around grief, asking if hope can be found in 101 different types of permanent loss.Welcome to my brand-new series of episodes - The Grief Toolshed.In this series, I’m visiting the garden tools shared by our Let’s Chat guests (from my metaphorical toolshed) and turning them into practical, supportive tools we can use when we face grief. One per episode. Together, we’ll unpack them and explore how to actually use them when grief shows up.And in this episode, I’m looking at how a bag of compost (given to us by Dr Colleen Crary, in her Let’s Chat episode about PTSD), can help us prepare for, and get through, grief.Think of it as building your own toolkit - ready for whenever you need it most.Listen to Colleen’s full episode, Let’s Chat… PTSD, here:https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/772c3bcd/lets-chat-ptsd-with-dr-colleen-crary If all this is new to you, and you have no idea what’s going on, listen to the episode I put out introducing this new series, ‘Introducing… The Grief Toolshed’:https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/7dad62e8/introducing-the-grief-toolshedSend a textSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving: thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
