In this episode of Over This Should, I speak with Alanna Knobben, founder of Carry You With Me, about navigating grief, finding healing, and building community. Alanna shares her deeply personal journey of losing her son and the transformative path it set her on to create a supportive space for others experiencing loss. We explore the complexities of grief, particularly during the holiday season, and discuss practical strategies for coping, such as creating rituals, fostering connections, and embracing the duality of joy and pain.
