In this episode, Dana Daugherty invites her guest Reverend Angela Farrar Small to explore intergenerational grief and the unique position clergy are in when navigating grief in their congregations. Rev. Angela discusses how responses to grief and trauma are passed down within families and the negative impact of platitudes on grief. She shares why platitudes come up, and healthier ways we can acknowledge grief and respond instead. Rev. Angela is a licensed clinical social worker who was a pastor of a small congregation of elders. She has worked in hospice, in HIV disease care, and counseling individuals living with chronic conditions and their caregivers, including families impacted by dementia. Rev. Angela has a private practice and is newly focused on pivoting to spiritual care and spiritual trauma healing as it connects to mental health.
