Summary

In this episode of The Grief Lounge, Sadie reflects on her recent climb of Scafell Pike and the striking parallels between this physical challenge and the emotional journey of grief. She shares how grief can feel like an insurmountable mountain, often leaving us unprepared and overwhelmed. Sadie underscores the importance of seeking professional help and support, just as she relied on guides for her climb. She talks about the value of taking one step at a time, focusing on the progress made, and trusting oneself in the face of adversity. Sadie encourages listeners to believe in their own capabilities and to seek out moments of joy amidst the sorrow.
