Loss changes the rhythm of life. It reshapes conversations, rewires memories, and redefines silence. But hidden inside grief is often a quiet invitation - to carry forward what was best in the one we’ve lost.

In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares a powerful conversational frame that helps others (and ourselves) move not on from loss, but with it. It begins with true listening - TING - the kind of listening that uses your whole presence. From that deep attention, something extraordinary can happen.

Here’s the simple, human pattern:

• Listen wholly. Not to fix. Not to fill silence. Just to hold space.

• Notice permission signals. When someone shifts from facts to stories, they’re inviting depth.

• Spot the light. When they describe a beautiful trait of the one they’ve lost - pause there.

• Invite expansion. “Tell me more about how they made others feel loved.”

• Honor it. Acknowledge its beauty. Sit in it for a beat.

• Then, gently reframe. “If you were to bring a little more of that into your own life, what might that look like?”

It’s not about replacing or distracting from grief. It’s about transformation through continuation - helping someone find the living thread of their loved one in the acts and traits they admired most.

Grief doesn’t have to be the end of connection. It can be a new beginning of carrying forward what was good, kind, and true.

Think of someone you’ve lost.
