Gil, also known as The Grief Curator, and in this heartfelt episode, I introduce the 'Don't Tell Me To Get Over It' show for the very first time. I open up about the loss of my 94-year-old father and the profound impact grief had on me. The show aims to provide a safe space for discussing grief, understanding its universal nature, and finding ways to cope. Together, we emphasize the importance of validating personal experiences of loss, whether it's the death of a loved one, a breakup, or losing oneself. I share my personal journey, the comfort found in journaling, and the belief that pain can transform into something beautiful over time. This conversation encourages you to embrace your grief without judgment, offering empathy and companionship through shared stories and reflections.We talk about:00:00 Intro01:20 Understanding Your Grief01:51 My Personal Grief Journey03:27 The Universality of Grief04:00 Navigating Grief Together07:57 Coping Mechanisms and Reflections09:45 The Ongoing Journey of Grief10:57 Closing Thoughts and Future VisitsConnect with mehttps://www.facebook.com/TheGriefCuratorhttps://www.instagram.com/thegriefcurator/ https://thegriefcurator.com/ Music: Eulogy | Licensed and Used with Permission of Thrumm, a division of Junius Recording Company
