We're going to be discussing death of a spouse and how to cope when your world is turned upside down. Aly Bird, who's lived this experience, realized the importance of support from friends and family after her husband died tragically.

Here's what we talk about:

  • Having a relatively positive "outlier experience" as a widow and stepping up for those who aren't getting enough support
  • The need for communities to step up for grievers. Consistently be there for them!
  • How do you do "perfect" grieving? Grief isn't just sadness, crying, and depression.
  • Ways to properly support the person you're trying to help. Listening to them is vital
  • What does "cognitive grieving" mean? What are the other kinds of grieving?

About Aly Bird:

Hi, I’m Aly. I’m a coach, author, therapist-in-training, and a widow. My beloved’s death changed everything about me and my life. So much so, that I had to do something about how we treat the bereaved. So I defined Grief Allyship and wrote a book to teach people how to show up and support their grieving loved ones.
