Let’s about grief. Grief is one of the things we often shy away from because it is such a messy and complicated situation, but it is definitely something we should face head-on. There’s really no other way. The reality is that it is possible for us to never stop grieving, and that’s okay.

What we can do is grow around grief by following our own process, a process that may be short for some and so long for others, a process that we can only discover if we start facing our grief today. 

Let’s listen to this episode and talk about grief!
