Send me your questions and thoughts.

Welcome back to Pillars of Grief. In this unique episode, host Jock Brocas steps away from the studio and takes us outdoors, sharing his insights while walking in nature—a setting he highly recommends for anyone navigating loss. Today’s focus is a question Jock receives often: how do you truly become aware of signs from your loved ones who have passed? Drawing from personal experience and heartfelt stories, Jock debunks common misconceptions about signs and explores why awareness, intuition, and an unmistakable sense of knowing play a far greater role than simply spotting common symbols like butterflies or feathers. Tune in as Jock guides you through what it really means to recognize authentic signs and why the most profound messages often come in the most unexpected—and extraordinary—ways. If you’re seeking comfort, clarity, or just a gentle reminder that your loved ones remain close, this episode offers both wisdom and solace.
