Big Boys Don't Cry - Handling Grief

This is a realty of live that we need to be able to handle and somehow move on. If you are grieving or know someone that is you may find this episode useful on your journey.

Becky L McCoy is an engaging writer and speaker on spiritual formation who helps women who are disillusioned with their faith bravely face difficult life circumstances with tenderness. Becky speaks from experience, but is relatable and lighthearted, even when talking about the most challenging and painful moments in life.

As a young widow who has processed her own grief, learned to live with anxiety and depression, and adjusted her perspective on what it means to suffer, Becky earned a Masters in Christian Theology and Spiritual Formation and uses these experiences and tools to guide women in discovering gentle, trauma informed ways of being and believing.

Becky’s work has been featured in The Mighty, (in)courage, Babble, and other publications and podcasts as well as Great Day Connecticut on the local news channel WFSB. She has taught workshops and led sessions for Hope*Writers, Jeff Goins’ Mastermind Group, and Writer’s Retreat at God’s Whisper Farm as well as presented at local public schools and regional colleges and churches.

Becky currently serves the Brian Dagle Foundation, a non-profit for grief support and suicide prevention, as the Communications & Outreach Coordinator, offers training in the QPR suicide prevention method, and hosts the podcast Sucker Punched as well as BRAVE together virtual retreats and live events.

Robert Adleman

I am a 64-year-old male with ADHD, OCD, severe depression, severe  anxiety, and dyslexia. I struggled for 40 years working in the high-pressured Information technology field. Even though it was good money, I didn't have much luck in the financial department.
In 1991, at the age of 33, was when the severe anxiety attack occurred, and the support system was not there to handle it. So, I checked myself in to a mental hospital in Piscataway, NJ. That started my long road to recovery. After the attack, I was severely depressed and anxious for 6 months. This experience is detailed in episode four "Beating Severe Anxiety/Depression".
