🎙️ Join *Make Time* podcast hosts Emma Heming Willis and Helen Christoni as they talk with Barri Leiner Grant, founder of The Memory Circle, about making time for grief. Barri lost her mother in her early twenties and found herself dealing with loss alone. She decided to create the space she was craving by hosting events for “motherless daughters,” eventually expanding this experience into The Memory Circle, a grief-focused therapy practice.

In this episode, Barri, Helen, and Emma talk about how to “tend to grief” by journaling, starting a “delight practice,” taking walks, and finding ways, big or small, to be with the person you’re grieving. They discuss different kinds of grief - the “acute” phase that occurs just after someone has passed and the “anticipatory grief” that can come from caregiving for a loved one.

Barri, Helen, and Emma talk about ways you can support grieving friends simply by showing up, inviting them along in everyday tasks, and reaching out to see how they need support. Helen shares her own experience of grieving the unexpected loss of her daughter Bella.

If you are grieving, you are not alone ❤️

She has studied with the leading names in the grief space including grief certification and education with Claire Bidwell Smith, Hope Edelman and David Kessler.
