"Anatomy of Grief" Series | What the heck is grief anyway?!

Grief and Light Podcast

"Grief is not this OR that; it's this AND that." - Nina Rodriguez
Grief thrusts us into the messy middle, which in time may become the magical middle.
But what the heck is it anyway?! The irony of this universal experience is that it's so unique to each experiencer, the answer of what is it depends on who you ask.
That said, there are some words, descriptions and frameworks that seem to describe aspects of big-picture GRIEF, that when understood, may give us the tools needed to understand and navigate through this nuanced experience.
Grief is love with nowhere to go...
AND unique to each person...
AND nuanced...
AND it lasts forever...
AND dynamic, evolving as we evolve...
AND...
This episode gets a little nerdy, AND it's great for those of us who seek to understand this life experience.
I also check in, providing updates on new and upcoming developments.
