In this heartfelt episode of Enduring Grief , Sarah Peterson welcomes Pixie Lighthorse for a powerful conversation about loss, kinship, and the deep need for support when life breaks open. Pixie shares why grief cannot be rushed, hidden, or carried alone, and how a “support core” can help us stay connected when pain feels too heavy. Together, they talk about death, men and grief, the body’s role in sorrow, and the courage it takes to let tears, shaking, silence, and love have their place. This episode is a gentle reminder that grief changes us, but we do not have to face it by ourselves. Pixie Lighthorse is an author, poet, teacher, and grief tender whose work helps people build honest relationships with grief, healing, nature, and community. An enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Pixie writes about sorrow, belonging, boundaries, and the support we need when life breaks open. She is the author of several books, including Prayers of Honoring Grief, Boundaries & Protection, Goldmining the Shadows, and The Wound Makes the Medicine.
