Emily Thiroux Threatt on grief and happiness.
Sure, you can multitask, but can you be happy and sad simultaneously?
In this episode, I explore the interplay between grief and happiness with Emily Theroux-Threatt, author of the Grief and Happiness Handbook and host of the Grief and Happiness podcast. Our conversation delves into the possibility of experiencing both grief and happiness simultaneously and the process of finding purpose after experiencing loss. Emily shares her journey of losing her husband(s) and how she discovered her purpose through writing and helping others navigate grief. We also discuss the significance of being present in the moment, employing writing to process emotions, and discovering joy. This conversation is a must-listen episode for those interested in understanding the coexistence of grief and happiness, the personal journey of finding purpose after loss, and the power of writing and mindfulness techniques.
Highlights and takeaways from the conversation:
- Grief and happiness can coexist, and it is possible to experience both emotions simultaneously.
- Finding purpose after loss is a personal journey that requires being open to new experiences and opportunities.
- Writing can be a powerful tool for processing emotions, finding clarity, and discovering one's purpose.
- Being present in the moment and practicing self-care are essential for navigating grief and finding happiness.
