Loss touches all of us — but how do we face it, feel it, and let go without forcing?
In this heartfelt and honest episode, psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Svagito Liebermeister shares the story of losing his wife in a sudden accident, and the emotional and spiritual journey that followed. In conversation with Candra Karlholm, he explores how loss affects the body, mind and heart — and how it can become a doorway to deeper presence.
Together, they explore:
– Grief as a wave
– The importance of solitude, meditation and self-trust as well as support
– Why comfort and advice often don’t help
– The pain of unrealized dreams vs. the grief of real loss
– How to support someone without trying to fix them
– What creativity, body awareness and compassion offer after loss
This episode invites you to meet loss as it is — not as something to escape, but as something that may reveal a deeper truth.
Because loss will come to all of us, sooner or later, and as Svagito shares, it is possible to prepare — not by controlling life, but by learning how to be more present with what is real.

Svagito’s book When Life Stops: Trauma, Bonding and Family Constellation offers a deeper exploration of these themes.
Drawing on his personal experience of loss and decades of therapeutic work, the book integrates somatic, systemic and spiritual perspectives — showing how trauma can become a catalyst for awakening and how presence, clarity and embodiment support true healing. You find the book on Amazon.
