Judy Lipson's family had more than their share of loss and no skills at talking about them. After the deaths of her two sisters Judy put her head down and went on, not believing she could face her grief. In the process, she was unable to come to terms with the losses or find a way to incorporate her only two siblings into her life going forward. But thirty years later, she finally allowed herself to grieve them, fully and deeply. As a result, she was able to pour her energy into a fundraising event that honored them and something they had shared; ice skating. In allowing her grief to matter, her life was enriched.
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
