With the death of a spouse, the future dies too. If you're a planner like Lori LoCicero there are many smaller losses along with the big loss. When Lori's husband died, she became unmoored, as if her tether to earth was broken. Her world seemed to stop cold. How did she come through her grief to a place where she could once again see her way forward? And what came next? Whatever came next depended on a belief that she could make something of meaning from the experiences she had with him. She could help other people going through what she had. She could create tools for having the hard conversations that her husband had such difficulty allowing. Her Death Deck cards help people to face the heavy questions playfully. And her memoir, Clouds Far Behind Me, shares how she came to terms with a loss she wasn't sure she could live through.
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.
