101 — 6 Strategies to Work Through Grief and Heal the Pain with Psychotherapist Meghan Jarvis

Although everyone experiences grief sometimes, no one talks about how to grieve. Not knowing what to do when you're experiencing serious emotional pain can compound the hurt. And if you're not careful, you might unknowingly do things that worsen the pain. Fortunately, Meghan Jarvis has studied the concrete strategies that heal. She's a psychotherapist who, after losing both of her parents, realized that the information about grief is inadequate. She's since written a book, launched a podcast, and made it her mission to help people learn how to grieve. Some of the things she shares today are the misconceptions about grief, the things that worsen the pain, and the concrete steps you can take to work through grief after your loss.
