info_outlineWelcome to Rock Your Shine: After you’ve been cracked wide open. On this show, I sit down with people from all over the world to hear their transformational stories on their deep grief and loss journeys.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dawn DiRaimondo, a clinical psychologist who specializes in grief and loss after losing her brother Michael while he served in the army in Iraq.
Dr. Dawn shares her experiences navigating grief and loss, both personally and professionally. She discusses her book 'Surviving Sibling Loss, The Invisible Thread That Connects Us Through Life and Death,' published in 2020, and highlights fundamental themes of grief and loss, such as anger, grief's impact on relationships, and how to navigate the aftermath of a loss. The episode also covers the beneficial role of therapy, the concept of grief as a passenger in our life's journey, and the importance of integrating lost loved ones into our lives.
