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

See this content in the original post

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
