Grief can manifest itself through emotional, cognitive, physical, and behavioral reactions.


It is common that we have difficulty concentrating and remembering things. We can forget what we were supposed to get in the kitchen or what we would say or do. 


It can also be difficult to make decisions and you feel confused. Sometimes we deny and find it difficult to accept what has happened. It does not feel real.

We can get caught up in dwelling, analyzing and constantly thinking about what has happened. Being busy dealing with all the things that grief awakens in us can make it difficult to focus on other things. After my mother's death, it felt like cotton in my head and I had to make a lot of effort to remember things and be able to function. Everyday life worked, but it came at a high cost of enormous fatigue both emotionally and physically.


Today´s episode is about the variety of reactions one can feel after a painful life change.

From The Podcast

My name is Catharina Karlsson. It started with a broken heart when my mother died and I was helped by grief recovery. I then decided that I wanted to give back and became a grief coach myself. I want to be a voice for the change of life that happens when life gets in the way for different reasons. I want to talk about how to find courage and tools to handle loss and refind hope in life. We are all individuals and there is no right or wrong and I want to approach grief from a humble perspective although based on my own perspectives and experiences.I am a teacher, special educator, mother and dogmom. I am also a certified grief coach. I have also done research about proactive health from a special educational perspective. I want this pod cast to be a safe place to talk about difficult things but where glimpses of light can shine in and give light and hope.Grief and loss is not only about death. We can get reactions of grief after for example a divioce, other major separations (human or pet), injury, disease or loss of a bodily function, assault, bullying, bankruptcy, conflicts at work or privately. For a variety of reasons we can lose our safety, security, self-esteem or dreams and trust in the future.Who was I and who did I become after my loss? With this podcast I want to spread knowledge about grief, loss and try to be a channel about ways to find some hope and light again. We are expected to move forward after our loss. How can we get there? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
