Embracing The Ugliness Of Grief With Alison Tariq

This is a discussion with my friend Alison Tariq. On March 11, 2018, we celebrated the first anniversary of Mark's death in her home. After moving to VA, I became closed off, and Alison came to my home to comfort this behavior. Alison told me she didn't care how ugly my grief was when she was staying with me through the entire process. She took me to dinner and we just talked. Her actions made me realize I need to find a new therapist and continue doing the work of facing my grief.---Thank you for viewing this post.
