Grief isn’t something that you can fix.
In this episode, I am joined by Aly Bird, a coach and workshop leader with a BA from Carleton University and an MSc in Social Planning from the University of Toronto. Aly is the author of Grief Ally - a book that guides people in helping their loved ones cope with death, loss, and grief. She also is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and the Bereavement Ontario Network.
Throughout this episode, Aly shares her experience with grief and what inspired her to write a book. She also shares her thoughts on why people are hesitant to approach people who are going through grief. Additionally, she shares the importance of allowing bereaved people to bring their loss forward.
