The Million Stages of Grief begins with a fire that changed everything. When <a href="https://www.themillionstages.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Reed</a> lost his wife and two daughters in the 2016 Gatlinburg wildfire, his life was reduced to ashes in an instant. What followed was a journey through darkness, heartbreak, and ultimately, healing. Guided by love, faith, and the belief that pain can lead to healing and purpose, Michael wrote <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9798348566081" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Million Stages of Grief</a> to help others navigate loss and rediscover meaning. In this moving conversation, he shares how signs, forgiveness, and connection became the anchors that helped him rise out of the darkness. His story is a testament to resilience, the enduring power of love, and the truth that even in the deepest sorrow, we are never truly alone.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:<ul><li>Grief is not a linear process with five stages; it’s a complex journey with “million stages.”</li><li>The body remembers trauma and grief, even years later, manifesting in physical and emotional ways.</li><li>Finding purpose in pain can be a powerful catalyst for healing and growth.</li><li>Professional support, such as EMDR therapy, can be immensely helpful in processing trauma.</li><li>Rebuilding after loss involves reshaping one’s landscape and sometimes saying goodbye to old connections that no longer align with who you’ve become.</li><li>Signs from lost loved ones can provide comfort and a sense of continued connection.</li><li>Forgiveness, even for those who caused immense pain, is a crucial step in releasing the weight of anger and preventing oneself from becoming a “monster.”</li><li>It’s possible to experience joy alongside grief; one does not exclude the other.</li><li>Sharing your story and helping others through their grief can be a profound source of healing and purpose.</li></ul>WATCH ON YOUTUBE: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEVZMuSA7Fg&list=PL7judgDzhkAWmfyB5r5WgFD6ahombBvoh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Fire that Rewrote My Life</a>Grab a copy of Michael’s The Million Stages of Grief at <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9798348566081" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://bookshop.org/a/93249/9798348566081</a>.---✨ Grief & Rebirth: Healing Resources & Tools ✨🎧 Irene's Books (Including a Free Audiobook!)They Serve Bagels in Heaven—Irene’s heartfelt story of love and life beyond.Listen Free on Audible as a First Time User: <a href="https://amzn.to/4dG4l4w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4dG4l4w</a>Get the Paperback or Hard copy: <a href="https://amzn.to/3XrE995" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3XrE995</a>📚 Embrace Life’s Third ChapterGood to the Last Drop—A powerful anthology on aging with purpose: <a href="https://amzn.to/3VJgEa5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3VJgEa5</a>🛍️ Healing & Self-Care PicksCurated books and essentials from Irene: <a href="https://kit.co/GriefandRebirth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://kit.co/GriefandRebirth</a>📚 Grief & Rebirth BookshopBooks by podcast guests for healing & wisdom: <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/griefandrebirth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/shop/griefandrebirth</a>🎙️ Podcast & CommunityInspiring stories of transformation on the Grief and Rebirth website: <a href="https://griefandrebirth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://griefandrebirth.com</a>📱 Stay ConnectedSubscribe to Grief and Rebirth on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSDru2EU1djRZaZxxFkMig?sub_confirmation=1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOSDru2EU1djRZaZxxFkMig?sub_confirmation=1</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/irenesweinberg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/irenesweinberg</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IreneSWeinberg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/IreneSWeinberg</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@irenesweinberg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@irenesweinberg</a>🎥 Irene’s Spiritual Awakening StoryWatch how the podcast began: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0mJWKfg5PM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0mJWKfg5PM</a>🎙️ Be a Podcast GuestHave a story or healing work to share?Apply Here: <a href="https://ireneweinberg.com/be-on-the-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ireneweinberg.com/be-on-the-podcast/</a>📰 NewsletterGet updates, tips, and new episodes by signing up to the Grief and Rebirth Substack: <a href="https://substack.com/@griefandrebirth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@griefandrebirth</a>💖 Affiliate DisclaimerSome links may earn us a commission.
