- According to Mike Shaw “Grief Happens,” but gratitude is your foundation for healing. It’s all about perspective. Your lows give you a greater ability to appreciate new highs. Trust that you will heal. You CAN live a FULL life after grief. Mike shows you how gratitude and grieving are closely linked. He goes as far as saying that grief reveals gifts, he’s grateful for its validation, and for the balance it brings to your life. Grief Happens - but YOU can turn the tables; healing is possible.
In this TED talk, learn how freestyle skiing and spinal cord injury taught Mike Shaw about gifts, perspective, gratitude and grieving. Mike is an accomplished freestyle skier, ski-coach, entrepreneur and speaker with a unique story of human triumph. His story will empower you to help the chronic grievers in your life.

Mom is gone 10 years today.
I am grateful that she was my mother!
Wow, I really love how this talk turned out. My husband was a gift and I am grateful that he was in my life. We have two wonderful children. Thank you for the new perspective. "Grief happens, don't get stuck."
Thank you Mike! Lost both my sons less than 2 years ago. I have an overwhelming amount of grief triggers.. I hope to turn that around, and recognize more of my gratitude triggers
I am so sorry for your loss
Deepest sympathy to you!
@@Simon-xi8tb thank-you!
@@cindyhalpern3187 thank-you
Cried like a baby half way through this. Really awesome. Thank you for speaking so poignantly and graciously
A miracle he’s standing. Grief is a stinker. When you start to enjoy the grief or the attention from it you know you need to move on.
This was really inspirational thank you. I lost my partner a almost a year ago now, I think you're right the gratitude is the only thing that can pull you out of a dark time. To hurt so much after losing something means that it has changed you forever and will always be a part of who you are. Thank you.
Wow Sarah, thank you. I hope my talk helped you find that gratitude, there's so much to be thankful for even in the wake of the darkest times. Grateful for you!
Hugs Sarah! I lost my fiancé in September of 2016, so I understand your pain. ♥️
So beautiful thank you. I'm having a hard time with the sudden and unexpected loss of my mother and needed to hear this.
I understand. I lost my mother on June 12 2019 suddenly.
Shawna Riley I lost my mother 4weeks ago and it has been so hard. I really don’t know how to move on.
Vicky Omifolaji Consulting & Psychotherapy I’m so sorry for your loss. Check out books by Kim O’Neil how to talk to your angels and departed loved ones. What’s your grief website and get some counseling someone to listen and talk too. Hugs
@@theglobalachieversshow5878 I lost my mom 4 months ago it is so hard and I don't have a lot of support but I've been kind of therapy my own self telling me that it's okay but the pain is so real and we were so close feel like I'm dying inside
One of the MOST POWERFUL things I've heard during my grief journey!!!!
Comes at a mega turning point. My journey is way different (loss of son, cancer sucks), so minutes 8-13 were especially amazing
Grief is validation. I will take back my life and practice gratitude daily.
Thanks Mike!!
Mike, you're living proof that life happens, grief happens, but with an attitude of gratitude, you can get up, dust off and keep moving forward.
Your talk is a gift to countless others that will keep on giving.
Awesome message Mike - we all experience grief from various experiences. Grief can keep you down and with the ability to see the light in any experience we can and will find gratitude. Great message and thank you.
Thanks for your talk. I can relate in many ways after losing my health and ability to do what I love most. My passion was ski touring. I miss the mountains so much and am still grieving my old self. You are right , perspective and gratitude can help reshape a situation. I'm learning new ways how to cope every day and your talk helped. Thank you.
Thanks a lot mike for sharing your story bec it changed my life's perspectives. I have been grieving for the past five decades for my ACEs.
…my beautiful husband died 2 weeks ago…he was wonderful…he would not want me to change in any way…he loved me …
he would want me to live…with him in my heart!
Excellent talk, truly opened my mind about grieving and how long society deems "appropriate" to grieve before it becomes "a crutch to failure". Would be interested in hearing more about healthy grieving versus self-destructive grieving. I like the way you presented this topic.
You're amazing and your story touched me. I want to have gratitude more then I do. Thank you for being you, an inspiration to all of us watching.
A talk for anyone who has ever lost. Gratitude is so powerful. I work in spinal cord injury research. I've seen catastrophic losses faced by so many and I've watched so many overcome their grief, hard as that can be. Mike provides a new perspective and hope where all seems lost. Thank you +Mike Shaw Great inspirational talk.
Thank you Maureen. I appreciate your compassion and work in SCI research that will no doubt help those that have suffered an SCI. I'm grateful for you!
Very powerful talk. I lost my daughter on January 9, 2016 and my heart is still so broken. But I'm so grateful to God for her presence in our lives for almost 28 years. She taught me so much and from now on I will definitely learn to practice gratitude .
Beautiful message. Thank you Mike. You walk the talk.
He came to my school today he was awesome and very inspiring
He is a memory now who died last year....who took me to Tedx Talks wonderful place to be...
Powerful message Mike Shaw, thank you.
I'm in the club and get it. I have also made a great, but incomplete, recover. Life is still good and it is all about attitude and refocusing on what else is important in your life besides your previous passion. In my case, it was giving up climbing at a high level.
It's hard to give up your passion. The "refocusing" part is so important. Cherishing irreplaceable memories is important, but making new ones is the goal!
Mike Shaw I
Great Talk Mike Shaw!
thank you
You are amazing...☺️☺️
high peaks require deep valleys
navigate emotional healing ,
Amazing Mike Truly an honour to know you and thank you for inspiring us!
I don’t think I can do it. Lost entire family except one who I barely see
I am so sorry to hear. Devastating. I am with you, sometimes it feels like you'll never pick yourself back up. However, hope and trust are powerful tools... And I know it is counter-intuitive to think about what you are thankful for when all you see around you is darkness, but gratitude will help. Grief never fully goes away if the loss is so significant; gratitude helps us cope. Nobody ever plans for trauma, it's not like I dreamt of one day being paralyzed as a kid, but sh*t happens. No one would ever dream of losing their family. You must carry on, you will find joy, you will live a full life after grief. Trust that. Live fully for your family. Sending you my most sincere gratitude - thank you for sharing your loss. I hope it's helped.
Thanks for this TED talk! My cousin is part of the same club and spent months at VGH. He is doing well and has 2 children. Gratitude is so important. What happened to Steve?
Thanks, Kelly, sorry for the delay... It appears I haven't looked at this thread for too long. I ran into Steve on one of my visits back to GF Strong. He wasn't in a great place mentally or emotionally, but he was making every effort to take back his life. He had found accessible housing and was preparing to leave the rehab hospital. I kept encouraging him to accept and move on, working with his abilities to achieve a full life. Since then I haven't seen him... He told me he used to be a boxer... I told him he's still a boxer, he's still a fighter, this is just a different kind of fight. Hopefully he's continued moving forwards.
Who jacket was that in previous video? Its got nothing to do with the crime scene

Ellie Edwards
Great video, helpful tips as we'll be doing a presentation at a conference on this topic in the near future.
really inspirational thanks, :)
😭😭😭
But your hair looks great.
Haha thanks IW Nunn! I was once told if you have a good hair day you'll perform your best! I hope that's true.
Guess it's true...........lol
what do you expect?
Hideous accent, reasonable content but I wish he’d stop yelling.
You aren't grateful.
You are angry. I am so sorry for you.
