If music has been part of your healing, or you wish it could be, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
In this episode, I’m talking with Victoria (artist name: SH3), a music therapist, grief counselor, and widow who created The Blue Album after the sudden loss of her partner.
We talk about using music to process grief, the power of community and support groups, continuing bonds with your person, and why love truly doesn’t die.
IN THIS EPISODE:
• Victoria’s story of sudden loss and turning to music for survival
• How being a grief counselor did (and didn’t) prepare her for her own grief
• Why grief support groups and community changed the way she practices
• The faith and meaning that keep her grounded working in hospice
• How The Blue Album maps to Worden’s Tasks of Mourning
• The story behind “Love Doesn’t Die” and continuing your bond
• Finding real hope that this is not the end of your story together
