Ep 107: How grief impacts health


Listen Later

In this vulnerable episode, Rachel and Ashleigh talk about the intersection of grief and health - it's a topic that we'll all deal with at some point, but isn't often discussed. Behavioural and lifestyle changes can dramatically impact our health in times of acute grief, which can exacerbate the pain we're already feeling. In this episode, the women share personal stories and go over some of the ways grief can negatively impact our health, as well as ways we can work to mitigate those impacts and care for ourselves even in times of acute sadness, stress, and devastation.
