Most of us have gotten at least a little emotional at some point recently. It’s natural. But why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day? Can we learn to skillfully choose which emotions to listen to and which ones to just let move on by? In More Than A Feeling, the latest podcast from Ten Percent Happier, host Saleem Reshamwala goes on a real life quest to find the answers to these questions. He’ll experiment with neuroscientists, dive into stories ...

About this week’s episode
Today on the podcast, I’m speaking with Tamara Gabriel.
In our conversation, we look back over almost 30 years since the death of her daughter, a decade since speaking about Jenna’s death, to when we worked on the book Surviving My First Year of Child Loss in 2017, to now, 10 years later.
Her nine-year-old daughter Janna died over the Fourth of July weekend in 1997, when Tamara was driving to a friend’s home. The car hydroplaned and collided with another car, killing Janna.
Tamara became isolated in her grief and felt people had turned away from her. She responded by writing a poem about the importance of hugs:
If You See Me
If you see me, do not run . . .
I know that talk is not much fun.
I know your hearts are sure to tug,
But all I need is just a hug.
After her poem was published in the local paper, many people approached her, saying they’d read it, and then hugged her.
Sixteen years later, in 2013, Tamara started Healing Hugs. This nonprofit organisation assists with funeral-related services or other expenses. For example, when Tamara learned that, for a number of complicated reasons, a child did not yet have a headstone, she offered to provide one for his grave.
