Julian Zelizer: For the person who says, okay, I totally understand that I need love to heal, but I currently don't have those resources in my life. Where can they begin? Are there ways to find that compassion in love? There really are groups, a lot of support groups for people that are grieving, and it's often the groups around the relationship with the person that died. And if you don't want to do it through grief, you can do it through volunteering or past times.
For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re revisiting some of the most meaningful conversations we’ve had with scientists about navigating our mental health.
Julia Samuel is one of the world’s leading grief therapists. She joins Maya to talk about why it’s important to engage with our grief, and offers strategies to help with the grieving process. They also discuss how losing someone can affect our sense of self, and the need to grieve the loss of identity that often accompanies big life changes.
Our new season starts June 5. In the meantime, connect with Maya on instagram @DrMayaShankar.
