Welcome to another episode of "Some Random Thoughts". On this episode, I revisit my season one episode on "Grief & Loss" with my special guest: author, therapist, and grief expert Jan Owen. We discuss all things grief and loss including why much of western society does not like to talk about grief & loss, and our overall collective unpreparedness to deal with this reality. We also talk about the myths & misconceptions of grief, healthy ways to cope with loss, and how to find support if you are grieving and/or be supportive of the grieving. Jan also shares her lived experience as a widow and talks about her powerful book: Fighting Forward: A Widow's Journey from Loss to Life, including how she navigated her loss and rebuilt a new life full of hope and opportunity.
