What happens when a parent passes away but you didn't have a close relationship with them? Do you still experience the same stages of grief? How do you deal with the "What If's" and wishing things would have been different? Renia opens up about her healing journey after the one year anniversary of her father's death. She talks about how much therapy saved her and helped her see things in a new light. 

We talk about:

• Breaking the stigma of therapy
• How to deal with regret
• 5 stages of grief
• What will happen if you don’t deal with it
