Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast 131. Vision Loss, Chronic Illness & Grief: Reclaiming Our Identity & Secondary Loss with Sara Jaswal
Drop me a message or voice note!
In this powerful episode of Life With Grief, we’re joined by Sara Jaswal—Grief Educator, Coach, Facilitator, and Counsellor—who opens up about her deeply personal journey with vision loss caused by a chronic health condition.
Sara shares how her experience with non-death losses (like the loss of independence, identity, and lifestyle) led her to redefine her purpose and navigate grief in nontraditional ways.
Together, we explore what it means to cope with secondary losses, shift your identity, and embrace a holistic path to healing.
You’ll hear how Sara integrated alternative therapies, mental health support, and community care to reclaim parts of her life and vision—both literally and metaphorically.
This episode is for you if you’re:
- Living with or supporting someone with a chronic illness or disability
- Exploring the emotional impact of losing a part of yourself or your abilities
- Curious about nontraditional grief and how to process it holistically
- Seeking tools for emotional resilience, identity work, and inner healing
Tune in for an honest, vulnerable, and empowering conversation about grief beyond death, the toll of chronic conditions, and how to find strength in community, choice, and purpose.
