S1E1 | Grief, Loss, and Celebration

Andy is joined by LIFT Staff Members Kim Fletcher and Kimberly Stowers, who share their personal stories of navigating grief and healing. They discuss the importance of holding space for emotions, the role of vulnerability, and the unique ways people experience grief. The conversation also touches on practical tools for coping with loss, supporting others in their grief, and finding joy amidst sorrow. As Kimberly transitions into their new role as a death doula, the discussion highlights the sacredness of being present for those at the end of life.Subscribe to stay tuned!Connect with us:Website: www.timfletcher.caYouTube: @TimFletcherYouTube (Podcast): @TimeWithTimPodcastInstagram: @timfletchercoFacebook: TimFletcherCoTikTok: @timfletcher_coHave a question for Tim Fletcher?
