Lizzy and I share a similar loss experience. So much so, we both experienced the death of a grandmother, father, then uncle - in the same order.
We have a conversation about how those losses have shaped and shown up in her life, from her perspective of being in her early 20's. Also, being only ten years past the death of her father, she shares what's helped her throughout her youth.
The conversation also turns to spirituality and faith. Lizzy shares grief that she feels around the separateness that exists within faith communities. And, she shares how she's working to study and contribute to a greater conversation around the topic.
If you're a teen, into your 20s, or a parent of a teen/youth, I encourage you to listen to Lizzy's perspective of the loss of her father when she was 12, as well as the other losses she experienced before that and since that loss as well.
