Heal Squad
About this episode

Hey Heal Squad! Welcome to part 1 of my deeply insightful and transformative conversation about grief with spiritual revolutionary, Sah D'Simone. Sah shares the experience of losing his mother to cancer and the profound impact it had on him and his view on being human. We discuss the lack of trauma-informed care that is so normalized in hospitals, particularly when it comes to death, and how this motivated him to become a chaplain to help change how we discuss and approach death. We explore the grief-phobic nature of our culture and society's discomfort with discussing death, the importance of acknowledging the severity of grief, and the significance of ritualizing our grief. Sah offers valuable insights on supporting someone who is grieving since this is an inevitable part of life. 


This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who wants to learn how to navigate the complexities of grief and death. Make sure to come back for part 2 of my conversation with Sah where we learn more about the loneliness epidemic that is plaguing us, the importance of friendship, and so many more insights on the power of connection covered in his book ‘Spiritually, We’. 


Healers and Heal-Liners

  • Grief will always be around and death is always going to happen.
  • Sometimes the miracle isn’t vitality and health of the body, the miracle is an easeful passing.
  • We have to meet the discomfort by choosing to be uncomfortable with the mourner. 
  • We are prioritizing the wrong things in life. We are forgetting that connection is the cure. We are forgetting that we can not do this thing alone.  
  • You have to ritualize your grief. You have to explore your grief. You have to do something with it.
