In the depths of our grief, how do we help ourselves? And, just as importantly, how do we help each other through it?

In the newest episode of (Literally) Working Through It, Brigid talks with Reverend Amy Stapleton - a licensed professional counselor, ordained minister, and community organizer based in Colorado. Their inspiring and all-encompassing conversation touches on:

* How joy and grief are often intertwined (example: four months after Brigid’s brother died, Amy officiated her wedding)

* What it takes to give ourselves permission to grieve (spoiler: it’s nonjudgement)

* Ways to support those we love in their own grief process (other than bringing a casserole)

* How collective grief can inspire truth-telling and transformative change in our communities (because we save ourselves when we save each other)
