001 There is No Right Way to Grieve
There's a lot of advice out there about grief, but most people fail to understand that grief is personal and that there's quite a mixture of feelings involved. For example, when your spouse dies, you may feel numb, confused and fearful. You may feel angry at your spouse for leaving you. You may even feel guilty for being the one who is still alive. I'm here to tell you that all these feelings are normal. And because grief is a personal experience, there is no right or wrong way to mourn.
In this episode, we talk about grieving the proper way and why there's nothing wrong with you, even if people find your grief "weird." You have every right to grieve your way, grieving fully AND living fully.
