Join therapist Sarah Peterson and physicians Dr. Marlis Beier and Dr. Dean Sharpe as they unpack the grief tied to transitions—ending relationships, the loss of health or identity, kids leaving home, or simply life not turning out as planned. Through real stories and reflections, they discuss concepts like vulnerability, impermanence, and the “death of dreams,” inviting you to rethink what is considered a “legitimate” loss. If you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, or searching for a way to cope with letting go, this conversation offers comfort and deep insight. Tune in for encouragement, practical guidance, and a reminder that acknowledging grief in all its forms is both necessary and healing. Dean Sharpe trained as a general surgeon and worked in private practice from 1980 to2002. His interests expanded and in 1994 he earned a master’s degree in health administration, becoming the first Vice President of Medical Affairs at St. Charles Medical Center. He shared this position with his surgical practice until 2002 when he became a full-time administrator.  Informatics and computerized medical records arrived, and he facilitated that change at St. Charles from 2004 to 2006 as VP Clinical Informatics.  In his two administrative jobs, relationship and change facilitation were his major roles. His passion as facilitator and educator led to helping design and facilitate “People Centered Teams”, an organizational and personal seminar beginning 1992. The program grew from St. Charles to national, impacting the lives of over 5000 participants.  He helped design and teach Death and Dying workshops at St. Charles in the 90’s with the goal that caregivers wou…","meta_description":"Grief isn’t only about death—and this episode shines a light on all the other losses we rarely talk about.
