Grief is Love: Navigating Loss, Health &...

Jonathan Fields / Acast
About this episode

Author Marisa Renee Lee dives deep into her book Grief Is Love: Living with Loss, recounting personal losses that sparked an awakening - grief stems from love, a vital truth for healing. She dispels myths about "moving on" from grief, instead advocating to embrace it.


Marisa shares how marginalized communities face disproportionate grief with little support, underscoring the need for change. You'll learn about self-compassion, vulnerability, and creating "certainty anchors" amidst uncertainty.


Whether facing deep loss or supporting a loved one, this conversation provides a refreshing perspective on an inevitable experience.
