141. Pain Doesn’t End…or Does it? with Chavie Bruk

 

On this episode of Talking Away The Taboo, Chavie Bruk joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about...

  • pain and the way it changes over time

  • her and her husband's permanent infertility

  • adopting 5 children at different ages (some as newborns and some later in life)

  • her grieving the loss of a biological child 

  • how grief morphs and changes with the passage of time, but how it doesn’t really go away (and that’s okay!)

  • how sitting and immersing yourself in the sadness can actually make it a easier to hold

  • forgiving yourself when there is communal pain on top of personal pain

  • and how it’s pretty impossible to be able to hold both
