Incorporating Rituals With Shara Ruffin

Grab your coffee and come listen to this tender conversation with Shara Ruffin who talks about becoming comfortable with grief being part of life. She tells us some of the rituals she’s made part of her life since her daughter died and her mom-in-law too. She shares how important ritual is to stay connected to her beloveds. As a griever, as a human, she holds the fragility of life, embraces that grief is a process you engage with differently over time, and knows we all will eventually take our last breath. Shara says, “The only thing that’s left is the memory of you.”

Shara is an independently licensed clinical social worker and former psychotherapist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She holds a Bachelor's degree in social work from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania and a Master's degree in social work from Howard University School of Social Work. Shara has specializations in grief, personality disorders, family trauma, compassion fatigue, military counseling, mindfulness meditation, ADHD, and anxiety. Shara is a Board Certified Tele-mental Health Provider. She’s the author of two journals: 90 Day of Inspiration: Study Companion for Social Workers Taking Their Licensing Exam and 90 Day Prayer Journal: A Journal for Social Workers.
