In this episode, we explore the research surrounding grief and ritual, challenging the idea that rituals are always what you might imagine. For those who shy away from traditional ceremonies, we discuss how rituals can be deeply personal, flexible, and self-created to reflect the individual needs of the griever. We talk about how rituals can provide comfort and meaning in unexpected ways, tailored to who you are and what resonates with you.
