Today, we talk with renowned grief expert Lynda Cheldelin Fell.

Today is all about Grief.

Even though I did not lose my husband, I experienced loss when Dean had his accident and concussion.

So many women have experienced a loss that is not seen nor socially acceptable in life.
We ARE grieving when a spouse has had a brain injury.

In the simplest terms - the person they were or the life and marriage you once had is different. Mine certainly was.

When life is suddenly different, we experience a type of grief called disenfranchised grief.
Today we speak with renowned expert Lynda Cheldelin Fell. Her husband had a massive stroke, and she had to pick up the pieces as you and I have had to do after our husband’s traumatic brain injury.
