We are framing this conversation for both of us around what I would describe as like landmark losses in our lives. And so it is specifically that type of grief that we're really naming here and how landmark losses can shape us in ways that are not just sad, but to use the language of this article I've been referring to, self-transforming. One of the ways we find some healing and also meaning and forward motion in our lives again after a loss is through storytelling about that loss.
After the loss of someone we love, we’re inevitably faced with the question, “How do I live with this grief?” In this episode of “Something to Normalize,” Ginny and Brandi offer some answers to this question. Through research and personal experiences with grief, they share strategies, powerful bits of wisdom, and practical tools they’ve discovered. They also discuss how they’ve applied these tools in their own lives, and what was most helpful in their process. This is the second in a two-part series on grieving. Click here to listen to part 1.
