Hello, Well Women, and welcome to another episode of the Well Woman Show! I’m honored to be joined by someone whose journey with healing and compassion runs deep. Please join me in welcoming Debora Garrison. Debora’s connection with The Grief Center began in 2003 at the Children’s Grief Center, where she participated alongside her son and daughter after the heartbreaking loss of their father. It was in those early days that Debora first experienced the transformative power of compassionate support—a power that would eventually change her life and set her on a path to make a difference for countless others.

We discuss:

The importance of peer-to-peer grief support groups provided by the Grief Center, and how they create a space for people to engage in the grieving process.
The challenges of grieving in a productivity-driven culture that often expects people to “move on” quickly, and the need to provide more bereavement leave for employees.
How the Grief Center accommodates different cultural traditions and practices around grief, by training facilitators and offering flexible activities.

But before we dive into this heartfelt discussion with Debora, I want to share some exciting news and upcoming events that we’re proud to support. Mark your calendars for February 14th! The Well Woman Show is a proud sponsor of The Grief Center’s 19th Annual Healing Hearts Luncheon. This event is so much more than just a luncheon—it’s a beacon of hope and a gathering that provides essential healing and support to our grieving community. I’m especially proud to say that I’m a trained bereavement facilitator with The Grief Center, and being part of their mission to offer compassionate, safe support and a path to healing is an honor I hold very dear.

For those who might not know, The Grief Center is the only organization of its kind in central New Mexico. Currently, it serves over 400 bereaved individuals each month in 78 support groups running from September through May. Over the past 23 years, The Grief Center has touched the lives of over 12,000 individuals through its support groups, hosted more than 200 campers at Camp Corazon, and trained over 400 volunteer Bereavement Facilitators. If you’re interested in learning more about their remarkable programs, head on over to wellwomanlife.com/radio.

I also want to take a moment to thank our wonderful sponsors who help make this show possible. A huge thank you goes out to Collective Action Strategies—a consulting firm committed to supporting systemic change so that women and families can truly thrive. I also want to remind you to check out the Well Woman Life Movement Challenge Quiz at These two questions could change your life! – Well Woman Life . Trust me when I say these two questions could very well change your life!

And there’s more good news: The Well Woman Show is also grateful for the support of Family Friendly New Mexico. Their efforts to create workplaces that work for families make a tremendous difference in our community. Speaking of family-friendly initiatives, please note that all Family Friendly Business Award® applications must be submitted by February 28th. This award is an incredible opportunity for businesses to gain recognition for their commitment to building vibrant, family-friendly spaces, to inspire others, and to have a genuine community impact.
