Ep 4: F.r.i.e.n.d.s, grief, sorrow and the big bad things
from Also, Don't Call me! Confessions of an Awkward Introvert · host Meral
Just like my busted, leaky roof, I've felt like I've been coming apart lately too. Avoid things long enough, allowing damage will inevitable lead to it slowly seeping with no way of stopping it. With all that's happening in the world, my own personal sorrows and the addition of a beloved Friends actor passing away, the dam is threatening to burst! I've always been pretty good at finding some kind of light in the dark and I've always prided myself on that... however, not it's not that brave when you can't even face the dark. This week I'll be talking personally about grief and sorrow in relation to what's been happening and how it's affected me. This is not necessarily a look into grief from an introvert's perspective. I'd be interested in knowing who else has felt the way I do. I'll also be looking at Buddhist teacher Roshi Joan Halifax and psychotherapist Francis Weller, exploring moral distress and divine discontent.
