#Claire Bidwell-Smith

[thequotefairy]

When we lose someone we love, suddenly nothing fits anymore. Who we thought we were is now a jumbled mess of memories and hopes we once had, for a future that now looks completely different. When we lose someone close to us we are forced to reevaluate our entire identities. We must figure out who we are now that this person is gone, and the experience can be overwhelming.

Okay I saw some tags and am taking this opportunity to talk a little more about this lol

This is just off the top of my head, but here’s a little backstory. The original five-stage model comes from On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, but her book was based on work with terminally ill individuals. A lot of people criticize the model because it suggests that grief is linear and that you move through it in sequential stages, but I think she even stated before she died that she regretted using the term “stage.” And professionally I think it’s unfortunate because I don’t think her work is necessarily too outdated or incorrect, but the work made it easier to do what humans like to do—categorize and organize emotion and meaning.

If you think about anticipatory grief, however, the stages model makes more sense. All grief is unique and universal. Anticipatory grief with a fairly predictable timeline changes how you move through the stages because you’re trying to make sense and meaning of your experience before the loss, and there’s a defined timeline and certainty that isn’t present for all grief.

Of course there’s no way to break it down into stages, but that’s a bigger discussion about how we deem things “evidence-based” (and my personal belief is that having “evidence-based practices” is often a component of what makes therapy ineffective), but to an extent, it makes sense that there’d be five relatively sequential stages. But then those stages were taken and applied to all different types of grief, so of course it wouldn’t make sense—the situation in front of someone who is terminally ill is wildly different from someone who has experienced a sudden loss. The components of grief she defined are pretty solid, I think—just not sequential.

I personally find this sort of model useful, especially when someone isn’t well-versed in emotional discussions and talking about feelings. And David Kessler, who worked with her and co-authored books with her, still seems to use the five stages with some added stages, like “meaning.” Making meaning of the loss. But we move between stages, skip stages, revisit stages, etc. because grief is never ending. And it’s just unfortunate that the five stages model stuck because that’s no longer the best professional understanding of grief, but it’s still very much a part of our culture. Again, there’s much more to this (this is literally just me pouring all my thoughts out in bed lol) but that’s a little bit of what I was talking about.

i know this is very specific to me being a therapist but god I wish the stages of grief weren’t written into the album storyline this way 😭😭 it’s not her fault people think they’re sequential of course but just thinking about how things get perpetuated in media and the massive influence she has (“in my ___ era” is just… so normal now?) and I can already see the five stages becoming some sort of meme… miss swift I don’t need my job to be any harder

Trust. Betrayal. 

COVID-19 this week: 

“This is now. This is today. This cluster of hours is the present and is all we can be sure of. Embrace it. It is the most precious thing we have.”—Call the Midwife

Trust: choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else. — Charles Feltman 

“Trust is a product of vulnerability that grows over time and requires work, attention, and full engagement. Trust isn’t a grand gesture—it’s a growing marble collection.” — Brené Brown

Betrayal is its opposite. Lean in or lean back. Put in a marble or take one away. Engage or disengage. The daily choice. Building up or tearing down. Relationships are always in play whether you engage in them or not. You step away without explanation --- go silent, ignore or simply step over. The game hasn’t ended. You may have left but the other player is still on the court. 

Betrayal of disengagement: not caring, letting go of the connection, and not being willing to devote time and effort in the relationship. — Brené Brown

There's something incredibly lonely about grieving. It's like living in a country where no one speaks the same language as you. When you come across someone who does, you feel as though you could talk for hours.

I can’t believe that we’re already in the final week of Non-Fiction November! I’ve really enjoyed taking part this year and have not only read some fabulous books but I’ve discovered some brilliant-sounding books recommended by other bloggers. So, as part of today’s Non-Fiction November prompt from Rennie from What’s Nonfiction I’m sharing some of the books I’ve added to my To Be Read stack!

I discovered Dope Sick by Beth Macy on Deb aka Curly Geek’s blog and found her review so compelling that I not only bought a copy of the book but I’m reading it now. It’s not an easy read because of the subject matter but it’s such a fascinating book. I also spotted The Library Book by Susan Orlean in the same post and have added this book to my wish list and plan to get hold of this one soon as it sounds really good.

On a similar theme, I read a brilliant review of The Outrun by Amy Liptrot on WhatCathyReadNext’s blog this week so I’m definitely going to be adding this book to my TBR. I find books about addiction and recovery really interesting and helpful so I’m keen to get to this one.

During the first week of Non-Fiction November I enjoyed reading Karen at Booker Talk’s post about her favourite non-fiction and saw she recommended The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It sounded like such a good read so I decided to buy the audio book and hope to listen to this one soon.

Over on Liz at LibroFullTime’s blog I’ve enjoyed a couple of posts. One was where she paired Bernadine Evaristo’s Girl, Woman, Other with Lovers and Strangers by Clair Wills. I’m hoping to read the former very soon so am really interested to get hold of a copy of the latter to read alongside it. I also really enjoyed her Be the Expert / Become the Expert post. I’ve bought a copy of Bird Therapy by Joe Harkness as it sounds like a calming read, and I’ve added Names for the Sea by Sarah Moss to my wish list along with the other books about Iceland mentioned as I’m intrigued to know more.

I love reading reviews at What’s Nonfiction and it was here that I discovered that Susannah Cahalan had written another book (I loved her previous book Brain on Fire). The great Pretender sounds like my kind of book as I’m always so interested in reading about illness and diagnosis so I’ve added this one to my wish list and plan to read it soon.

On SpiritBlog’s Year in Nonfiction post I spotted a book called Bringing Columbia Home by Michael D. Leinbach and Jonathan H. Ward and I immediately looked it up. It’s about the space shuttle Columbia and as I’ve been fascinated by space ever since I was a small child I had to put this book on my wish list.

Also on the subject of space travel I was reminded by NeverEnoughNovels’ blog of The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe, which is on my TBR but I’ve never made the time to read it. I also discovered Rocket Men by Robert Kurson on this blog, it’s a book that I’ve never heard of before but it sounds like my kind of read so it’s on my wish list.

On Bookish Beck’s blog I read a great review of Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper, a book that was already on my radar and alongside this review was a review of Leaving the Witness: Exiting a Religion and Finding a Life by Amber Scorah, which is in a similar vein looking at what it is to leave religion and make a new life. Both of these books are on my wish list and I hope to get to them very soon.

In the week we did Book Pairings as a prompt you may recall that I recommended Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer alongside Dead Mountain by Donnie Eichar so it was great to discover on MusingsOfALiteraryWanderer’s blog recommendations for these two books along with two more: The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger and The Ledge by Jim Davidson and Kevin Vaughan. I’ve added both to my wish list and hope to get to read them soon.

UnrulyReader shared a post on Being an Expert on home organisation, which I loved reading. I second her recommendation of Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying! I discovered a few more organising books that I hadn’t heard of before so have made a note of the titles. I’m particularly interested in Good Housekeeping’s Simple Organising Wisdom.

I found HappiestWhenReading’s blog post about the best books on grief. I also recommended Motherless Daughters by Hope Edelman in one of my Non-Fiction November posts but I discovered a few new-to-me books in this post. The one that most stood out to me is  After This, and Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief both by Claire Bidwell-Smith so I’ve added both of these to my wish list and intend to buy them very soon.

Over on BookdOut blog a post about becoming an expert caught my attention. In the post is a selection of books about Australian true crime featuring female perpetrators and I actually can’t name just one book from this post as I’ve actually added all the books to my wish list! I can’t help but be intrigued about crime and what makes people do the things they do so I’m keen to read these books.

In another post written that week is one about books about the Royal Family over on Hopewell’s Library of Life’s blog. Again this is a post where I can’t really choose a single book as all of them look fascinating and I’ve made a note of all of the titles!

    So all in all it’s been a bumper Non-Fiction November for me as I’ve found loads of new books to add to my TBR. Have you added any books to your TBR stacks during Non-Fiction November? I hope you’ve discovered some fab new books, I’d love to hear about them. 🙂

  Non-Fiction November: Books I’ve Added to my TBR! I can't believe that we're already in the final week of Non-Fiction November! I've really enjoyed taking part this year and have not only read some fabulous books but I've discovered some brilliant-sounding books recommended by other bloggers.

Father’s Day Can Be Hard. Here’s How to Handle the Holiday.

Go in with a plan. In the week leading up to the holiday, make sure you’re getting ample sleep and exercise, said grief expert and therapist Claire Bidwell Smith. “When we’re in a good physical state, we can better regulate our emotions,” she said. Research has shown that poor sleep can take a toll on your mind and body and that exercise can improve mental well-being. Mr. James has noticed that…

When I lost my mother, I also lost the reflection of myself that she showed me on a daily basis, a reflection of a young woman who was loved and cared about and wanted. Even the most important accomplishments of my lifetime have felt slightly hollow in her absence. Without the person who brought me into this world, I have struggled to feel like I am worthy of having a place in it.

When people ask me what I do and I say that I work in hospice, they often recoil in horror that ushers forth a series of well-meaning exclamations. Oh, isn't that hard? That seems so sad! I couldn't do that. The truth is that I don't find it sad at all. When I talk to grieving people, it's like looking at a negative image -- the deeper the grief, the more evidence of love I see.
