About this episode
How do you grieve? Do you listen to songs that help you get your feelings out, take walks out in nature, call upon friends who understand that you just need to vent? Maybe you pour your energy into creative activities, perhaps making collages or scrapbooks or videos? Join authors and family therapists Nancy Saxton-Lopez and Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio for a conversation about the many ways that people live through their grief. We'll share stories about the myriad healthy ways of living beyond loss as well as some caveats on unhealthy patterns that it pays to avoid. As always, we welcome your stories, comments, questions and suggestions for future topics. Nancy can be reached at nsaxtonlopez@csmpc.com and Ken at kenddv@gmail.com.
