Sharing Your Grieving Soul on Social Media
There’s a risk in sharing grief and mourning on social media. The risk includes how vulnerable you feel and how that vulnerability is, or is not received. Negative comments may (and often do) happen, and when vulnerable, can cause a lot of pain and hurt. Is it helpful to share your grieving soul on social media? It’s a question that has a lot of different opinions and answers. On today's Grief Refuge podcast, Reid Peterson has a conversation with Dr. Serign Marong about his grief journey and how he took the risk to post parts of his grief journey on social media channels like Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. This grief conversation is about as authentic as any grief conversation can be. Thanks to @serendipity.md (Dr. Serign's social medial handle) for articulating the ways in which his Soul had been broken and what he needed to do in order to put it back together again.
