While it can be a challenging subject to discuss, as I am addressing it on this page, I want to emphasize that individuals can grieve a multitude of experiences. Every instance of grief is of equal importance, and each can be incredibly difficult. If you are experiencing the loss of a job, a pet, a relationship, a friendship, estrangement, a sibling, miscarriage, abortion, or even anticipatory grief, please reach out. <strong><a href="http://paperbell.me/Lisa-Dembeck?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExSmVmZTZiemxSYXBPZXVyQXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5aQM4AuxKY-TAUw8cVj6By_4fZ6t2qdjy_QGB5FlMXMF0_46S122_S6oJNPg_aem_kiXk5606Zs3qispUlENu_g">paperbell.me/Lisa-Dembeck</a></strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rewriting the map intentionally]]></title><description><![CDATA[We can do this together with intention and purpose]]></description><link>https://hvgs.substack.com/p/rewriting-the-map-intentionally</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://hvgs.substack.com/p/rewriting-the-map-intentionally</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hudson Valley Grief Services]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2026 02:45:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/197299155/beac8cfdddbd31a3bdfed71b32cb5121.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grief is a new journey that we must learn to navigate.</p><p>Picture this: our brains create a map over time to help us navigate our daily routines.</p><p>Now, however, those routines have shifted.

We shouldn&#8217;t be expected to rewire our feelings too soon. <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/grief/?__cft__[0]=AZbEeIM7TWhrW4NJN3CJ6J9UhWPBIvtu389hoTmIdRKoutnS8viwU2S5nUm6_LC7F1nI2d0dh39WDvqzox5Qk-P9DqxMBM66LDVGM8-Y6_27FUyZ3e32VGQsg_TTH30EN0FmIFLuwLj2XIeS0TFWfqdsyfc2ue6LtL_xxNJA-OaPzA&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#grief</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/griefjourney/?__cft__[0]=AZbEeIM7TWhrW4NJN3CJ6J9UhWPBIvtu389hoTmIdRKoutnS8viwU2S5nUm6_LC7F1nI2d0dh39WDvqzox5Qk-P9DqxMBM66LDVGM8-Y6_27FUyZ3e32VGQsg_TTH30EN0FmIFLuwLj2XIeS0TFWfqdsyfc2ue6LtL_xxNJA-OaPzA&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#griefjourney</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/hashtag/griefsupport/?__cft__[0]=AZbEeIM7TWhrW4NJN3CJ6J9UhWPBIvtu389hoTmIdRKoutnS8viwU2S5nUm6_LC7F1nI2d0dh39WDvqzox5Qk-P9DqxMBM66LDVGM8-Y6_27FUyZ3e32VGQsg_TTH30EN0FmIFLuwLj2XIeS0TFWfqdsyfc2ue6LtL_xxNJA-OaPzA&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#griefsupport</a></strong> </p><p>*Remember, you are not alone.**  </p><p><strong>Paperbell.me/Lisa-Dembeck</strong></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
