Don't Tell Me to Get Over It!

“There is no doubt that I was in denial. My father had always been a strong and healthy man at every age, and in my eyes he was immortal.

A world where he simply no longer existed was incomprehensible to me. Any time I thought of losing him I closed my eyes to reality and pretended he would live forever.

In the six years since my father died, I’ve joined grief
groups, read amazing books on death, went back to therapy, even became a David Kessler certified Grief Educator.  And
the one thing I’ve noticed that we as grievers have in common?  Non-grievers are almost always telling us to ‘Get Over It.’

On August 30, come over and set a spell on my debut podcast – Don’t Tell Me to Get Over It—where we normalize conversations about grief, loss, and love explore ways to hold space, and rediscover joy – together.

Because we weren’t meant to grieve alone.

Secondary Losses
In this intimate conversation with certified bereavement facilitator Susan Casey, we talk about my personal grief and loss story, and the secondary losses that occur after the death of a loved one. Susan is a warm and gracious host and it was a beautiful experience to share how losing my father changed our family dynamic significantly, and why sometimes, families can’t express their grief with each other.

The Importance of Community
Dr. Jennifer and I met on Clubhouse and instantly connected. She invited me to her podcast to talk about the importance of being open to new friendships – regardless of age, culture, or background. Your community plays a huge role when you are grieving and this is where it begins.

Grief Has No Timeline
