Episode 2587:
Reid Peterson and Belinda Cock explore how sentimental items, or "linking objects," can either support healing after loss or silently prolong suffering. By asking mindful questions about the purpose these objects serve, they offer compassionate guidance for those feeling emotionally stuck and overwhelmed, encouraging healthy grieving through storytelling, creativity, and supported letting go.

Quotes to ponder:
"Sometimes survival is the only goal. When grief is more manageable, it’s healthy to ask yourself on a consistent basis, 'what purpose is this linking object fulfilling?'"
"If everything in the room is there to remove their death, the linking objects are likely being used more for the purposes of denial."
"Like life itself, linking objects have a beginning and an end."
