The Journey Beyond Death continues with Part 9, diving into the extraordinary topic of After Death Communication.

info_outlineIn Part 3 of The Journey Beyond Death—and the second installment of our Mental Health Resiliency arc—we take a deeply personal and professional dive into the labyrinth of grief. Guided by voices shaped through trauma, therapy, and triumph, this episode explores the raw emotional landscape that follows profound loss. With the haunting echoes of personal stories—from being raised by Holocaust survivors to losing parents to Alzheimer's and suicide—our guests share tools that helped them move through sorrow with grace: meditation, therapeutic writing, community, and nature.
Psychotherapist Megan Bruneau and holistic psychiatrist Dr. Rebecca Valla illuminate how grieving minds need structure, empathy, and non-judgmental support. Clinical psychologist Dr. John Huber breaks down how guilt and irrational thinking can derail healing—and what practical methods can restore inner balance. Dr. Pat Baccili delivers powerful spiritual and psychological reflections on trauma and the human need to witness grief without solving it.
We also highlight Functional Health Practitioner Karen Shoshana’s unique insights into how somatic care—sleep, breath, nutrition—can ground us during loss. And Dr. Gaini De Silva offers a compassionate look at adolescent grief and physical practices for emotional regulation. Together, these voices reveal that mourning is not a timeline but a terrain—and those who traverse it consciously can emerge stronger, wiser, and more open-hearted than ever.
This episode reminds us that grief is sacred. It is an invitation to become more human, more whole, and, paradoxically, more alive. Whether you’ve just begun your grieving journey or are still haunted by echoes from years ago, this episode offers powerful emotional tools, insights, and hope.
