#235 - Acceptance and Possibility In Grief with Sonia Weyers

In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy is joined by the Author, TEDx Speaker, Gestalt Therapist, and the Founder and Leader of Eudokima, Sonia Weyers. They talk about acceptance, forgiveness, and coping with grief and loss – all of which Sonia experienced during the health decline and after her parents’ passing.

Sonia Weyers, the author of Happiness Now! and The Sundown of Life, has explored numerous paths in her personal quest for meaning in her own life. After successfully finding meaning and helping others do the same as a trained Gestalt therapist, she faced the difficult situation of caring for her parents at the end of their life. Now she desires to give others a message of hope that there is more possibility for happiness even in some dire situations. While many may admire her degrees, they pale in comparison to her success in learning to love the life she has now. She enjoys her workouts, singing in a choir or two, learning new ways to live more sustainably, and spending time with her four children and loved ones.
