Grief Relief: It Takes Time
by Mary Wuerdeman
Grief relief- it takes time. It takes time and it takes daily effort. After losing her son, Brian, 24, and both of her parents in the same year Mary Wuerdeman, came face to face with the profound loneliness and heartache of loss. The GRiTT podcast is not only a tribute to Brian, but sharing and hearing others stories here has been her path to back to living again. And not just the path to living again, but the path to living her life on purpose with love and gratitude. Mary's deepest hope is that listening to the GRiTT podcast will inspire you to do the same.
