We have the tendency to underestimate the impact that death has on our souls. Part of this misjudgment comes from our incomplete understandings on the various kinds of deaththat occur in our lives. There's the death of a loved one, death of a dream, death of a relationship, death of a career and so many others.

If you frequently find it challenging to center your soul in the midst of grief, this episode is for you.
