How To Deal With Grief And The Death Of A Loved One With Christina Rasmussen


Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:

What happens when we pass away? How do we overcome grief of lost loved ones? You’ll hear about that and more on this episode with guest Christina Rasmussen. Christina is an author, acclaimed grief educator and podcast host. She founded The Life Reentry Institute to help people rebuild their lives after grief. Christina and I discuss the concept of the waiting room and why so many people get stuck there. She talks about why you should never minimize the pain of others and how validation from those around you can help you heal. She talks about her book-writing process, why you need to find your tribe and how you can navigate grief during the current pandemic.

About Christina Rasmussen

Christina is an acclaimed grief educator, author of Second Firsts and Where Did You Go?. She is also the host of The Dear Life Podcast.

She is the founder of The Life Reentry Institute and has helped countless people break out of what she coined the “waiting room” of grief to rebuild their lives through her Life Reentry Model. With this, she introduces a new model of grief based on the science of neuroplasticity. She describes grief as a catalyst for redefining identity, and outlines the process of “reentry”, or returning to life. Her mission is to change the way we grieve, the way we live, and how we define our potential in this life, and the hereafter. She has consulted on the 2019 movie short.

Her Institute’s mission is to bring forth a new way of speaking about and embracing loss within the medical, corporate and social environments.
