Uncomfortable Friend
Grief is an Uncomfortable Friend. The pain can be unbearable and yet, it's often one of the few things remain after the loss of someone so special. Join me on the journey of "now what" after everything falls apart. My mission is to authentically share my story in an effort to help others feel seen, develop vocabulary around their grief, discuss finding oneself after loss, ways to feel comfort, how to establish meaning, find hope, embrace continued connection, and more. Nothing is off-limits… everyone’s path is unique. I’m honored to have you join me and look forward to your questions, comments, personal stories, and observations. Until we meet again...
Uncomfortable Friend
It's OK to not be OK...
We're currently going through some challenges as a company during my day job, and during a leadership meeting today, advice was given about being and modeling strong leadership and what our people need right now... and frankly, that just made me angry. If I've learned anything over the last six years navigating grief, it's that it's OK to be mad, and sad, and angry... it's OK to feel frustrated, annoyed, and overwhelmed... AND it's OK to share it with others. So here is to me, and to any of you who are feeling not OK. Phone a friend, discuss the challenges, then find some productive ways to cope... because on the other end of all of those feelings will come gratitude for all the things that are going right.
