Nomadic Diaries

How to Use Grief as a Gateway to Growth - Sarah Kobrus

Doreen Cumberford Season 3 Episode 2

In today's episode, we have a special guest, Sarah Kobrus, who has extensive experience living abroad and working with NGOs. She is currently the affiliate director of Families in Global Transition.

Sarah joins us to discuss the concept of emotional logic and how it can help us navigate through times of loss and grief when living a globally nomadic life. She also tells us about her book, "Good Grief: Transforming Loss into Hope and Resilience for the Globally Nomad," and the community it was written for. 

Sarah shares valuable insights on the importance of acknowledging and processing grief, how different cultures approach it, and how emotional logic can be a practical tool to help us cope and grow. 

🎙️ Emotional logic is a clear, practical, and therapeutic way to navigate through emotional turmoil and grow through times of loss and grief. It's a hidden gem that can benefit anyone, anywhere.

📚 Sarah discussed her book, "Good Grief: Transforming Loss into Hope and Resilience for the Globally Nomad", which offers valuable insights and tools for coping with grief, whether it's the loss of a loved one or the loss of a dream.

Key takeaways from the podcast:

1️⃣ Grief is not limited to the loss of a loved one - as globally mobile individuals, our accumulative and compounding losses contribute to our grief experience. Understanding and acknowledging this can help us navigate the emotions associated with our unique expat journey.

2️⃣ Emotional logic provides a practical framework for processing grief and converting energy into positive states of being. By embracing our pain and working through it, we can grow and find serenity, courage, and wisdom in the face of adversity.

3️⃣ Safe places are essential for processing grief. They can be people, places, things, or even our own senses. Creating a sense of safety within ourselves allows us to effectively process emotions and move forward with resilience and hope.
