Description
How do you rebuild your life after devastating loss?
Grief is something every human will experience, yet so many feel they must face it alone. In this episode, Jill Ripley speaks with psychologist and grief coach Lynn Banis about what it truly takes to move through grief and rebuild a meaningful life.
Within three years, Lynn lost her mother, brother, and husband. Despite years of helping others, she found herself in the same fog, exhaustion, and disorientation many grieving people face.
In this honest conversation, Jill and Lynn explore how grief reshapes identity, the emotional and physical weight of loss, and how it’s possible to rediscover purpose after tragedy. Jill also shares her experience after her daughter Jenna passed forward, and the connection she believes continues beyond the physical world.
This episode is a powerful reminder that while grief changes us, healing and meaning are still possible.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why grief can feel physical
• Why motivation disappears
• Why we don’t “get over” grief
• How identity shifts after loss
• The importance of support
