Timely Presence with Guest: Kelly Edmondson, RN, Cert Grief Counselor
About this episode
Kelly Edmondson discusses the complexities of grief and offers strategies for coping with loss.
Most of us don’t realize how complex and unique grief really is. What shapes your pain may differ wildly from someone else’s, even if you’ve experienced similar loss. Kelly Edmondson, founder of Timely Presence and a grief counselor, shares the powerful truth that grief is as individual as a fingerprint—and how understanding this can radically change how we support ourselves and others through heartbreak. In this heartfelt episode, Kelly takes us deep into the emotional landscape of mourning, explaining why grief doesn’t follow a straight line and how life’s busy moments often mask its intensity. She reveals concrete strategies for coping with loss, including building meaningful rituals, planning around difficult dates, and prioritizing silent presence over empty words. Did you know that unprocessed grief can manifest as heart disease, depression, or anxiety? Kelly shows us why ignoring pain isn’t just harmful—it’s a public health issue that demands communal attention. Kelly shares her framework of the “three Rs”: regulate your response, respond with intention, and remain present—guidelines that help keep the love alive long after the funeral. This episode is perfect for anyone…
