In our digital age, it’s hard to hide from the ugly side of life. Social media has allowed us all to bear witness to some of the most tragic moments in human history. From videos of natural disasters to intimate updates from people in the midst of personal crises, we are constantly barraged with images and stories that are hard to stomach. 

Amidst this onslaught of sadness and suffering, it can be hard to know how to cope with our own grief. 

How do we balance our need for solace with our desire not to impact our professional reputation? What should we do when we find ourselves grieving in public? In this episode, Molly explores some ways to handle grief in a way that is respectful both to ourselves and to others.
