Grief can be an exceedingly difficult topic to discuss even within communities of faith UNLESS you’re talking to my special guest, Shanika Grant, a woman of faith and a Licensed Professional Counselor who is studying to become an Advanced Grief Therapist.
On today's episode, Shanika and I will continue our conversation about the topic of grief as we discuss what is grief, appropriate expectations in grief, typical responses to grief, and some distinct types of grief.
Conversation Highlights
Grief isn’t a linear process, and everyone grieves differently

Your grief will take longer than most people think
