Teach Me How To Adult Teach Me How To Cope With Grief, with Eleanor Haley and Litsa Williams of What’s Your Grief
This week’s topic is a tough one, but it’s something that we’ll all have to navigate at some point in our lives despite most of us feeling totally unequipped to cope with it. We’re talking about grief, with the help of mental health professionals Eleanor Haley and Litsa Williams, the founders of popular website and podcast What’s Your Grief.
Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, the general uncertainty of the pandemic, job loss, a breakup, a difficult diagnosis, or the loss of connection with the people you love, you might be experiencing grief in ways you didn’t even realize. And here’s the thing: there’s no “right” way to grieve. It looks completely different for everyone.
