All About Grief

In this episode we have an honest dialogue about grief and the collective grief we all are experiencing. We open up this week as we discuss the issue of grief and the challenges that come from trying to process “the natural reaction to loss”.We ask the questions like why do Americans struggle with identifying, expressing, and processing grief? How do we cope with grief that isn’t death related? And are there different types of grief? In this episode you’ll hear: About different types of grief Private (Personal) vs Public (Collective) Grief During this time of Covid-19 many are experiencing many forms and levels of grief Disenfranchised grief Different things we can/are grieving about The decolonization of mental health and mindsets Who gets to grief?
