Grief about family estrangement is always evolving. I’ll share my experience of how and what that means.
Shannon greets the audience, mentions being in her car, and sets an informal tone for the conversation.
Shannon offers a brief hello, clarifies she is not a clinician, and shares personal experiences including CPTSD, parenting a child with autism, and anxiety to frame her perspective.
Shannon explains her role discussing 'things we aren't supposed to talk about' and why she chose that title, emphasizing creating space to articulate emotions.
Shannon starts to introduce today's specific topic on grief.
Cadre, happy Friday. It is Shannon. I'm in my car again. Excuse me. Oh gosh, I have to cough. Pardon me. We may end up doing most of these conversations in my car, which I'm sure will resonate with many of you. Good morning, good afternoon. I'm going to give a minute for folks to join. So I'm Shannon. I am here today to talk about grief. And so for those of you who have not met me before, I am not a clinician. I am not a mental health professional. I am a human who has CPTSD, who parents a child with autism, and who, what's my other thing?
Oh, I have a lot of anxiety, so that's good too. So I've got those three things that are happening in my life. Good morning, good afternoon, good midday, JC. It's nice to see you. Okay, so today, so my self-appointed role at CADRE is to talk about things we aren't supposed to talk about. And why I picked that title is because I grew up not talking about emotions, not articulating them and wanted to create a space for us to do that together. And so that's why I do that. And so I intentionally pick that topic to say like, listen, you think you're not supposed to, or that title rather, to say you think you're not supposed to talk about this, but actually you are.
Okay, so today's topic on grief day on CADRE, what we're talking
