Healing Through Grief, Change, and Midlife Transitions
Midlife brings so many shifts—children leaving home, aging parents, career changes, identity shifts, and layered on top of it all, grief in its many forms. Sometimes it’s the loss of a loved one, and other times it’s the ache of realizing life looks different than we imagined.
In this episode of Message in the Middle, I’m joined by Jane Dye, a registered nurse, board-certified holistic health coach, and certified grief educator. With more than 30 years of nursing practice, much of it in psychiatric settings, Jane brings a unique perspective to midlife healing. She blends clinical expertise with holistic health, grief education, and spiritual connection to help women navigate transitions with compassion and hope.
Together, Jane and I explore:
✨ Why you never get over loss—you learn to build a life around it
✨ Why all loss matters and there is no “grief Olympics”
✨ How grief can keep us looking backward, and what it takes to move forward
✨ How to support someone who is grieving
✨ What not to do when you’re trying to support someone through grief
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the in-between or uncertain about how to move through loss and change, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible, but everyone must do it in their own way and on their own timeline.
