Sheila Botelho

It’s interview day on the podcast.

Jodie Gonzalez is cofounder of JAH* Grief Services, which offers grief support to those who have experienced the death of a significant person in their lives. 


Her book The Healing Tree: A Guidebook for Navigating Grief, offers an opportunity to use writing and mindfulness-based activities after a loss. 


She holds a masters degree from the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston. As a licensed clinical social worker in Texas, she spent almost ten years working as a hospital and hospice social worker, and four years as the director of community education for a non-profit bereavement center in Houston. 


Jodie continues on her own grief journey following the deaths of her sister and brother-in-law in 2004.



We Talked About: 



  • The importance of witnessing grief of all kinds
  • The tragic personal experience that led to Jodie entering into social work and bereavement care
  • Healing through “Layers of Loss” 
  • The stigmas associated with grieving and loss
  • The self care that honors her soul and supports her in supporting others
