Being a Grief Ally
from EZ Conversations · host Furkhan Dandia
In this week's episode, I am excited to welcome Aly Bird. Aly and I discussed her new book, Grief Ally, which was released recently. Aly shares why she was motivated to write this book and believes that allies during grief are crucial. Aly and I discuss a couple of chapters in her book and highlight key things to be mindful of when supporting people experiencing grief. Since her husband’s untimely death, Aly Bird has poured her heart into helping those who feel helpless during an unexpected crisis. Her extensive study of grief psychology and culture, combined with her devastating first-hand knowledge, led her to create a roadmap for the courageous and dedicated individuals willing to show up for the people they love with unconditional love, empowerment, and reverence. A speaker and workshop leader, Aly shows a clear path to those who dare to take on the vital role of being a grief ally. Recognizing that there must be a change in how our culture handles grief, Aly is committed to building a support and educational network for those who have experienced an earth-shattering loss and the people who are often overlooked: the grievers loved ones and trusted support system. Aiding in her mission, Aly is pursuing a graduate degree in counselling psychology and a career in grief therapy. Aly Bird is a coach and author with a BA from Carleton University and MSc in Social Planning from the University of Toronto. She is a Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association member and the Bereavement Ontario Network. Keeping her life in balance, Aly is passionate about taking long walks with her dog, creating art, and singing at the top of her lungs whenever possible. Learn more at www.alybird.com.
