EP98 - Making a Friend of Grief

Speaking to others about their grief experiences has helped me better understand grief over the past few years to, if for no other reason than to become aware that everyone’s grief is different. Our experiences, our circumstances, every aspect of our loss, and how we attempt to move forward have differences that can enlighten us and help us by presenting us all with a slightly different perspective on grief. To that end, today’s episode is a chat I had with an old friend at her suggestion. She reached out offering a concept of living with grief, which she felt others may appreciate. She suggested we discuss an idea she had about grief, "As long as grief is going to be your constant companion, you may as well make friends with it.” In our discussion, we go on to explain why this may be necessary for your loss journey and how it might help. This concept may be considered a bit surprising, but it’s one I firmly believe we need to consider for so many reasons. Come along with us as we discuss “Making a Friend of Grief” and why this might be a thought you’d want to consider adopting for your journey.
