It's been almost seven years since my dad passed away, and while I've grown so much in my grief, developed a connection to him since, and live by the greatest lesson the whole experience taught me, the feeling of grief can and still hits me like a ton of bricks in moments.
We tend to not talk about grief, about the hard moments of it, or share that it's normal to still miss someone seven years later. As I was feeling this deeply one morning, I felt the urge to share my experience with it, and six guideposts for grieving that I've accumulated on this journey.
I see grief in a new way now and as a result I'm immensely grateful for it's presence, for it is also a connection I get to have with my dad.
Take a listen to hear my real experience, what grief feels like, my take on how to move through it (rather than suppressing it), and what might be possible on the other side.
