19 Jul Hidden Gifts of Loss Podcast
In my first podcast since I started writing my memoir, I have a deep and uplifting conversation with host Julie Trainer about finding wholeness and strength in the process of grieving a loss. You can watch the episode here on Spotify.
This is the description of the episode:
On this episode of the Hidden Gifts of Loss podcast, Phyllis Unterschuetz shares her story of hidden grief and healing. At 21, while in France to do service for her religious community, Phyllis found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Faced with overwhelming shame and fear of disgrace, she opted for an illegal abortion and suppressed the experience for years. The buried grief led to various emotional struggles throughout her life. It wasn’t until a breakthrough with a therapist that she began to acknowledge and form a relationship with the lost child, named Ruhi. This journey also led her to reconnect with her younger self, significantly aiding her healing process. Phyllis is now writing a memoir to share her story and inspire others to confront and process their own hidden grief.
