100 people a day die from gun violence in the US. They leave behind hundreds of family, friends, and community members, who then have to try to answer terrible questions like: "how do I go on without my loved one?"; "what is life going to be like now?"; and "how do I support the folks in my life who are hurting?". To discuss how the answers to these questions can be very different, how to manage grief and mourning, and how every loss is different,  hosts Kelly and JJ are joined by  J. Nicole Jones, the Grief Bully. J. Nicole, an author, podcast host, and grief expert, has spent years making sure others grievers know that they are not alone in their experiences.
