Thanks For Asking

When Surviving Is Enough (From "A Slight Change of Plans")


Listen Later

If you’ve listened to our show, at all, ever, you know that grief has been a big part of Nora’s life since 2014 when she lost her husband Aaron. Since then, she’s built this show, her writing, and much of her life around helping others navigate their own grief.
Despite all this, Nora never felt like she was doing enough, until the events of 2021 forced her to slow down and re-examine her grief once again.
Nora recently appeared on the podcast "A Slight Change of Plans" with Dr. Maya Shankar, where she shared for the first time the story of why 2021 was, in Nora’s words, her worst year since 2014. It’s a raw and honest conversation about long-term grief, and we knew we had to share it here.
You can find "A Slight Change of Plans" on their website or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're coming to your living room on December 6th with a *new* and terrible holiday show! RSVP for Happyish Holidays here.
