Food For Thought: The Mind-Body Connection in Grief

This event is over.

Life After Loss Grief Café: Discover How Food Can Help You Heal Through Grief

Join me at the next Life After Loss Grief Café in Tickhill (near Doncaster) for an interactive talk on grief and the often-overlooked mind-body connection. This gathering is a chance to connect with fellow grievers and learn how to support your body through the emotional and physical challenges of loss.

Grief can be overwhelming and affect every part of our being. Many of the symptoms that come with it - digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety - are linked to the gut and the body’s stress response. Understanding this connection is key to helping yourself heal.

Having experienced the loss of my own husband, I understand the profound impact grief has on our bodies. But while grief is inevitable, suffering doesn’t have to define us. We can take small, meaningful steps to regain a sense of control and nurture ourselves, even in the midst of deep sorrow.

In this talk, I’ll share insights into how grief triggers a powerful stress response and how adjusting what and how we eat can help ease that burden. I’ll offer simple, sustainable tips for bringing balance back to your life, even when everything feels chaotic.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn:

✔ What might be causing your grief symptoms
✔ Why you might be craving certain foods
✔ How your meals can influence your mood, energy, and focus
✔ Tips for establishing a new, nourishing daily routine
✔ Strategies for coping with emotional eating

Drawing on both my personal experience and my work as a nutritionist and yoga therapist, I’ll share meal ideas, natural remedies, and practices that have helped me regain my energy and joy in life.

Come along to explore how food can become a powerful tool in your healing journey. I look forward to seeing you there!

I really enjoyed your teaching today. Got so much out of it. Your gentle reflective flow was perfect for 7am. Your knowledge is vast and I liked the holistic approach, lots of pranayama, breath awareness and use of mudras and band. Most of all I loved the time given generously to each practice. And time to reflect on the benefits afterwards.

You are inspirational. I particularly enjoy hearing about food/spice effect on the body as I am suffering with arthritis currently. It’s so interesting learning what influences our wellbeing.
Sue
Hi Sabine, just wanted to say it was lovely to meet you, and thank you for all your information regarding nutrition. I’m going to try and do your stew tomorrow and I’m ordering some vitamin D. So it’s a start. Take care and speak soon x
Mandy
That was amazing. Thank you! I feel much calmer and grounded in my body. I am definitely interested to learn more.
Sarah
Hi Sabine! I just want to say thank you for your Facebook posts and videos. I always find the nutrition and meditation tips very helpful having become a widower after losing my wife Sue in traumatic circumstances. It is inspirational to see your positive messages with practical tips. They make a real difference.
Anthony
Thank you for always trying to support bereaved people with the very basic need of looking after ourselves .... something we don't always do!
Corinna

Thank you for this. I lost my husband almost 6 months ago. I’m finding your videos so helpful even if I don’t always comment.
Caroline
After what you were telling me about the importance of nutrition I've made some changes to my diet and I've started taking vitamin D and magnesium supplements. I noticed improvements in myself immediately: the anxiety has gone, I have more energy and I've even started being able to exercise again. So, thank you for your guidance and advice; I feel that it has helped a great deal.

Message to WAY: Sabine wrote an article on Grief and its Impact on our Digestion - please pass on huge thanks for her knowledge on this subject - I’m not young but my husband died two years ago - a year later I suffered chronic constipation and brain fog (which I didn’t understand) and two CT scans and a colonoscopy later there was no answer. The good news is I’m getting better and Sabine’s article put all this into context and I can’t tell you how much better I felt having read her article - every doctor's practice should have a Sabine!
