Episode Summary

In today’s episode, we’ll be diving deep into the topic of grief and loss. We’ll explore the different types of losses people are facing, both death and non-death related, and shed light on the often overlooked aspects of grief. 

We’ll learn how to be authentic in providing comfort, avoiding cliches or platitudes, and instead, validating the love and connection shared in the relationship with the person who has passed. 

Gina also introduces us to her book, “Moving On Doesn’t Mean Letting Go,” which presents a comprehensive guide to navigating loss in our modern lives. From dating after loss to understanding the impact of grief on the body, we’ll explore various ways to engage with grief in our everyday lives. 

We’ll explore Gina’s personal journey of loss and how it has shaped her perspective as a grief therapist. 

Throughout this episode, we’ll touch on the importance of self-care during the grieving process, the need for parents to be honest with their children about their struggles, and the value of prioritizing love and authenticity over material possessions.
