3 Steps To Overcome Grief | Nina Lee | TEDxJoaquin

Core Message - Grief is a universal emotional response to loss, affecting everyone sooner or later [1][2] - A framework for navigating grief involves three intentional practices: Release, Rebuild, and Remember [6] - Healing from grief is possible, involving an evolution of pain, return of joy, and building a worthwhile future [14] Release - Release involves letting go of guilt, shame, or pressure to grieve in a certain way, as there is no wrong way to grieve [6] - Acknowledging and expressing feelings, rather than avoiding them, is crucial for healing [8] - Grief is not just emotional but also physical, requiring physical release through activities like exercise [9] Rebuild - Rebuilding involves rediscovering one's identity after loss and finding new meaning and purpose [10] - Joy and sorrow can coexist, and rebuilding involves finding moments of light breaking through the darkness [11] - Turning to faith, family, and community can provide support during the rebuilding process [10] Remember - Remembering involves keeping the love of those lost alive through stories, acts of compassion, and service to others [12][13] - Honoring the deceased allows a part of them to live on through the actions of the living [13] - The speaker's son's wish to help people who are hurting became the speaker's mission as a grief educator [13]
