Understanding Grief – An Effective Tool for Life
By Amanda DeShong, Hospice Chaplain
Grief touches every life. At some point in our journey, each of us will encounter it—whether through the loss of a loved one, a friend, a pet, or through less visible but equally painful losses such as health, youth, freedom, relationships, or a long-held life role. Grief knows no boundaries; it crosses every culture, every country, every level of education, and every age group. Simply put: grief is part of being human.
Science has confirmed what many of us have felt deeply within our hearts—that grief is not only an emotional and spiritual experience, but also a physical one. Studies now show that the body responds to grief much like it does to physical pain. This understanding should move us toward greater compassion—not just for ourselves, but for all who grieve, no matter what or whom they are grieving.
Everyone has known grief, but not everyone has learned how to understand it. In this class, we will explore the models that help us navigate the grieving process with greater clarity and gentleness. Since grief is inescapable, the question becomes: how can we live with it, honor it, and even allow it to transform us?
For those walking a spiritual path, grief is not only something to endure—it can also be an invitation. It is a teacher. A “new model” is needed, one that views grief not as an interruption of life, but as an integral part of soul work and growth.
Rev. Amanda DeShong, MS is a medium, mentor, and healer with over 25 years of experience helping others on their journey of spiritual growth and healing. A Certified Crystal Healing Practitioner and Reiki Master, Amanda has shared her gifts through workshops across the U.S. and as a monthly radio guest for more than a decade on WKKX 1600 and WWVA Weekend Focus in the Ohio Valley.
Amanda is currently working as a medium, offering guidance and connection from Spirit to bring healing and comfort. From a young age, she “knew” things that could not easily be explained at the time. Her spiritual path eventually led her from a career in Engineering to becoming a Hospice Chaplain. Today, she continues to combine her intuitive gifts with her professional training to support others in finding peace, clarity, and transformation.
