It’s hard to know what to say to someone who is grieving and how do we avoid saying the wrong thing?
In this week’s episode, Britt talks with grief advocate and the creator of Emerging Grief, Annie Horton and shares an honest conversation about how awful grieving can be and some of the reasons why it’s so hard for us to talk about it. You’ll also hear them touch on topics such as:
- The importance of language and using the words dying or dead
- How tough the first year of grieving can be and what shock can physically and mentally feel like
- How pondering questions like What do I do next? Am I going to be ok? are totally normal
If you know someone who has lost a loved one or is grieving – especially if you are hearing this around the holiday season, share this episode with them. Some of the resources and this conversation could truly help them to feel less alone.
Coming up, Britt chats with the former US Ambassador to Canada, Bruce Heyman and Brittany Sierra, CEO of the Sustainable Fashion Forum. Until then, stay curious!
