Ep 11 Pain, Suffering & Shifting the Emotions Of Grief

Lori Latimer Episode 11

There’s an old Buddhist quote says “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.”


In this bonus episode, I talk about pain, suffering, and shifting the emotions of grief.


  • Emotions - what are they really?
  • The difference between pain and suffering
  • Emotions and thoughts - and how they affect us
  • How our thoughts cause us to suffer
  • Some simple ways to shift your emotions
  • Questions to journal on:
    • Who would you be without your suffering?
    • Who would you disappoint if you let go of the suffering?
    • If you release the suffering, what would that mean about you as a Mom?
    • Who are you afraid will judge you if you let go of the suffering?
