Episode Synopsis

Hey y'all! Happy Mid-November!
This episode discusses more somber subject matter: the topic of grief centered around the book, Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I have been an admirer of her work for a long time and felt privileged to read this personal account of her early experiences dealing with the grief of losing her father at the height of COVID. I integrate my thoughts of the book with my current understanding of grief taken from personal experiences so far, and what I have learned to be true about the process while working with patients dealing with the loss of a loved one.
We don't talk about this topic enough but we need to. I share some personal updates at the top of the episode, then dive into the main topic at (17:12). Despite the heavier nature of this episode's content, I hope it offers some insight on the topic that will help with your relationship to grief, or providing support to others who need it.
As always, please share and recommend, and if this episode or past episodes have positively impacted you, please rate and/or review on your preferred listening platform. Also, feel free to reach out to me through my contact info below.
