When Snoring is More Than An Annoyance: The Hidden Dangers of Sleep Apnea
By: Monée Williams
Grief is not a one time event, but a continuous journey that fluctuates at every moment. On this episode of One Minute with Monée, host Monée Williams and Moniek Garside dive into the importance of maintaining healthy connections, even outside of crisis. Discover how regular check-ins, setting boundaries, and self-awareness can transform your journey through grief.
Moniek explains that regularly checking in with friends, family, or a therapist creates a safety net, so that when grief or other challenges blindside us, we don’t have to scramble to find support; it’s already there. This consistent connection also helps individuals to better manage their emotional health before a crisis strikes.
Moniek also explores the tendency to isolate during grief, especially because some believe it’s easier for others if they don’t share their pain. However, isolation can actually intensify suffering by cutting off the essential support and understanding that come from reaching out. This conversation encourages listeners to stay alert for loved ones who may be withdrawing and to gently offer support.
The episode also touches on the challenges of strained mother-daughter relationships, recognizing the profound grief and loss felt when those bonds are fractured or absent. Listeners are reminded that sometimes, relationships reach a point where boundaries become necessary for self-preservation. Whether that means working through pain together in therapy or accepting the limits of a relationship, the emphasis is on honoring one’s own well-being.
Throughout the discussion, the message remains clear: grief is personal and unpredictable, and there is no “perfect” way to navigate it. Moniek encourages naming grief, giving oneself grace, and finding support for feelings instead of bottling them up. By doing so, listeners can transform grief from a silent burden into a shared journey of healing.
