Coping with Grief in Difficult Situations

Grief and sorrow are sadly a part of life, sometimes we might be prepared for it, and sometimes we won't. How can we deal with these hard feelings while still moving forward? Listening to your grief just like you listen to the rest of your emotions is a great start for the process of getting better at managing this hard feeling, letting it express itself and letting it go out of your body is the healthiest way of doing it.  Many people when dealing with grief will want to try to lock it away on the deepest parts of themselves, but this action could actually make the emotional pain worst. Our emotions are there for a reason, and we must listen to them to maintain our emotional health at a peaking point. In this episode, Dr. Carmen talks with Dr. Liz Caine, who will tell us a bit about how we can manage our grief, especially in times like these when our emotions are heightened.   Who's our guest?Dr. Liz A.
