Thank you for joining me on this episode about grief, both through death, and through the breakup of friendships and relationships. I wanted to share with you my experiences of loss, along with some of my tips and ideas for how to manage your grief, during times of bereavement or loss.

 

I want you to remember that WHATEVER / WHOEVER you’re grieving, it’s OKAY. There is no loss too small that it isn’t legitimate to grieve it.
