A Lesson on ”Grieving a Loved One”

I originally titled this episode, "Grieving the Loss of a Loved One", but was then reminded that we don't lose those who have taken on another form. If we lost them, we would continue searching for them and never find them. This thought in itself is not helpful in any way. Instead, they morph into another version of themselves, sometimes referred to as 'crossing'. This allows you to redefine what this new relationship looks like versus searching for something that can never be found. Similar to the idea of grieving a child that has grown up, and desiring them to be a younger age than they are now. That version of them isn't here anymore, but you can embrace and enjoy who they are now.

Since losing my Dad in April 2019, I have found some ways to support myself through this process that I want to share with you. There is no 'right way' to grieve, and you have to find whatever works best for you. As there is a 100% success rate that we will not only experience the loss of someone in our lives, but that it will happen to us as well, I figured I should shed some light on this 'uncomfortable' topic. In true Morgan form, I am very vulnerable in this episode in hopes that it supports you wherever you are and that you recognize that you are not alone. Enjoy!
