Sometimes our soulmates are our friends. The people that we hand select to go through life with. In this episode, we honor that bond and the deep grief that comes with losing a friend. Jenn is joined by Certified Grief Educator and Author Hannah Rumsey, whose work honors her friend Lauren, who passed in 2015. Hannah and Lauren had a supernova of a friendship that formed at summer camp and continued despite long distances. Since Lauren’s death, Hannah has created a one-woman show titled “42 Days of Summer,” the podcast Friends Missing Friends, and her upcoming memoir. Hannah truly honors the disenfranchised grief of friend loss and shares how we can alchemize our grief into works of art. The grieving process and the creative process can both be incredibly daunting, but Hannah shares how we can break them down into smaller, more manageable parts and come out the other side a bit more healed.
