Grief – Why is it So Complicated? With Julia Samuel MBE

Trigger warning: this conversation includes the topic of suicide. Welcome back to season four of Good Mourning! This week, psychotherapist, grief expert, author and all-around brilliant human, Julia Samuel MBE, joins us to dig deep into big questions around the grieving process. We discuss:

• Living losses – what they are and how we can learn to accept them
• Complicated grief disorder – is it ok to grieve for a long time?
• How to cultivate resilience in grief
• How grief shapes our identity and self-esteem
• Dealing with difficult emotions
• How grief can be passed down in families, generation to generation

We hope you take as much away from this thought-provoking and wickedly witty conversation as we did.
