Today is a change of pace for our episodes were addressing an incredibly important topic but difficult topic – dealing with grief and loss of a loved one. This is a different episode than normal. I aim to be a resource for people as they deal with life and part of that, as we know, is dealing with loss. I think we all agree this is an important topic and one that we, or our loved ones, can struggle with. As you listen to this think of someone who could benefit from listening to this episode and please consider sharing it with them.
