‘National Grief Awareness Day’ With Founder, Angie Cartwright

On this episode of The Power of Love Show we welcome special guest, Angie Cartwright. Angie has experienced the pain of profound loss many times in her life starting with the loss of her baby sister when Angie was just a small child followed by the loss of her newlywed husband from a tragic car accident at the age of 21, and finally the devastating loss of her mother from an accidental overdose in 2010. Following these deeply personal experiences of loss, Angie found herself paralyzed with grief. Learning the hard way that grievers are often misunderstood, Angie decided to channel her grief into action and is now dedicated to raising awareness about bereavement and helping those experiencing grief to heal. Angie is committed to help change how our culture understands and views grief. Through a change.org petition asking President Biden to recognize August 30 as National Grief Awareness Day, Angie is doing her part to help end the stigma surrounding grief and help thousands of grievers find solid footing once again. By reaching out to thousands of grievers on social media for the past 20 years, she has found that healing can only take place when grief is not shamed, rushed or tabooed. This is how she herself found her own healing.  Learn More About Angie: Instagram: @TheNationalGriefAwarenessDay Facebook: National Grief Awareness Day LinkedIn: Angie Cartwright Twitter: @NGADgrief Learn More About DDJF: Website: DDJF.org Instagram: @DeeDeeJacksonFoundation Facebook: Dee Dee Jackson Foundation LinkedIn: Dee Dee Jackson Foundation Twitter: @DDJFoundation Leave a podcast review: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-love-show/id1282931846 Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/6X6zGAPmdReRrlLO0NW4n6?si=koXehESfSrSwA-zWi2vf-w Did you know that you can support DDJF while you shop on Amazon at no cost to you?
