Let me be clear, the title of this episode doesn’t relate to an experience I’ve had or a specific experience from anyone I know. Instead, it’s the subject of a written piece by John Roedel that a good friend shared with me this past week. It is so good and on point, I felt I had to share it. It’s a lengthy piece, so I’ve decided to read excerpts with some thoughts sprinkled in, sharing why a particular passage may have touched me. I’m certain if you are new to your grief journey or if you are years into it, this episode will reveal things about grief that will make you nod your head. To those trying to better understand a friend going through grief, this will give you the insight you need to understand where we are and what it looks like from our perspective.
