Facing Our Fear of Grief | Top of Mind S2 E23
0What is it about grief that makes us so uncomfortable? American rituals are designed to keep mourning quiet and private. We mutter clichés that offer little comfort and expect grieving to be like getting the flu – you feel really bad and then you get better. We make even less space for grieving pets, or pregnancy loss. In today’s episode we consider what might be different if we allowed for grief to be bigger, longer and more public?
