Coping with the death of your soul mate — Podcast

Coping with the death of a soul mate can be hard, whatever the nature and length of the relationship…because it can feel like something inside of us has died alongside the other. Because death leaves us craving.

As part of psychotherapist Karin Seiger’s podcast series, “Soul Cravings,” I was honoured to be interviewed by Karin in 2019.

Here is the link to listen to the podcast.

Here are some of the topics covered:

• Accepting the unacceptable: When death was preventable.
• “The honour of walking a soul mate to their death” — spending final hours together, even if the other is legally declared brain-dead.
• Finding our own path towards acceptance and doing ‘something that feels right amongst so much wrong’.
• What is it like to be a young widow? Losing the love of your life, your soul mate?
• Coping with death before having children?
• What if we parted on an argument, not realising this is the last time you speak with each other?
• Living with daily life in a way that is not always connected to mourning.
• How to honour the memory of a soul mate without getting stuck in the past.
