Grief impacts all of us in different ways. And today, I want to share a special conversation I had with Natasha Smith.
Natasha has a book that is releasing today called Can You Just Sit With Me? And, my friend, it is such a lovely book. She shares her grief story and then she writes about some of the things you’ll hear us talk about today:
· Types of grief
· Iterations of healing
· Feelings of grief and loss
· Telling our stories
· Collective grief
· And how to handle grief when it feels overwhelming
I know that grief isn’t always a fun topic. But I dare say that what Natasha shares is both encouraging and hopeful. Be sure to reach out to her after the episode ends to thank her for sharing with us today, and be sure to grab a copy of her book, as well.
