In her forthcoming book, "And She Was Never the Same Again," Dr. Trujillo challenges the notion of a "correct" way to grieve. She strongly advocates against the pathologization and over-medication of grief, emphasizing that it is a profoundly personal and natural process that should be embraced rather than suppressed.Drawing from both her academic studies and personal experiences, Dr. Trujillo has not only studied the theories and concepts surrounding grief but also lived them.
