288: The Difference Between Guilt and Regret (with Nancy Weil)

A few weeks ago, Laura’s friend, Nancy Weil, sent out an email to the presenters on the 2025 Grief Cruise, asking what they thought about the difference between regret and guilt. One of Nancy’s grief support groups were discussing this, so she decided to see what the presenters’ thoughts were on this. Laura decided this made a good topic for a podcast episode, so she packed her podcast microphone and took it with her on the cruise, so that she and Nancy could talk about it, letting Laura’s listeners in on their discussion. Nancy Weil is the founder of The Grief Academy and a leading authority on the relationship between humor and grief. Nancy is known for her energetic, entertaining and content rich programs. She has certifications as a Grief Management Specialist, Grief Service Provider, a Funeral Celebrant, and Laughter Leader. Her award-winning Hope After Heartache grief support group meets on Zoom, in order to reach people across the country.   (Note: The views and opinions of our guests outside of this podcast may not be in agreement with GPS Hope.)
