How do you navigate the complex journey of grieving an old life while building a new one?

In today's episode of Nomadic Diaries, the Re-Entry Series, we look into the often overlooked topic of grief during repatriation. Doreen and Linda interviewed Dr. Sally McGregor, cross-cultural therapist, who shared invaluable insights on dealing with hidden grief, ambiguous loss, and the emotional journey faced by expats and Third Culture Kids. 

We learned about the power of being present, finding culturally competent therapists, and embracing our global experiences. Some of the gems included not forgetting that your grief is valid and finding a supportive community. Sally reminded us to stay authentic and connected, and remember—grief is just an expression of love!
