Episode Description

Facing a serious loss after a loved one has died is just so tough. Without meaning to we can compound the stress of it all by how we approach our grief.

The mindful approach to grief involves noticing, not judging, and using compassionate curiosity. It makes space for grief because grief is part of life and love.
