This week’s guest, Dr. Sona Bhatnagar, has quite the story for you. On the surface, it does not seem ticklish in the slightest. Twelve years ago, her husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. Ten months later, her son died of bone cancer. Not surprisingly, she fell into a pit of despair. Time, willpower, self-reflection, and a conscious acceptance of what had happened to her brought her back from the edge. She wrote about it in a book called Grief Healed: A Physician’s Guide to Dealing with Grief and Thriving. She’s got a blog and website called GriefHealed.com. We all know people who have lost loved ones. So we invited Sona onto the program to talk about what happens when the tickle seems all but gone, and how to get it back.
