Send us a text

In this conversation, Dr. Sheila K. Collins shares her profound experiences with grief, having lost both a son and a daughter. She discusses the importance of community support, the role of art in healing, and the misconceptions surrounding the grieving process. 

Through her personal stories and professional insights, she emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of grief and the transformative power of love and connection during times of loss. 

We explore the significance of end-of-life discussions, the caregivers' role, and the transformative power of grief. We emphasize the importance of intentionality in life choices, the need to face fears surrounding death, and the value of art and dance in processing grief. 

We highlight how joy can coexist with sorrow and the necessity of sharing experiences to foster understanding and healing.
