Dr Joanne Cacciatore: Traumatic death and how the pain, grief and heartbreak that follows can be transformed (part 1)

In this episode of What About Death, Tsultrim speaks with Dr Joanne Cacciatore, a tenured Professor at Arizona State University in the USA and author of the best selling book, "Bearing the Unbearable - Love, Loss and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief." Dr Cacciatore is also the founder of the MISS Foundation and the Selah Carefarm, and she recently appeared on the Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry documentary series on Mental Health, "The Me You Can't See". Dr Cacciatore's area of expertise is traumatic death and the grief that follows. In part one, of a two part series, Dr Jo explains to us why we are often so terrified of the grief that results from traumatic death and how that fear constrains our ability to connect with, love and support those who have experienced traumatic death. And how from the heartbreak, courage and love can transform those who have experienced loss. https://www.missfoundation.org https://www.missfoundation.org/selah-carefarm This episode of What About Death is hosted by Tsultrim and was edited by Ryan Drover & Kiara Fauzi.
