About this episode
In this episode, Adell Coleman and Marissa Renee Lee discuss the multifaceted nature of grief and loss, drawing insights from Marissa's book 'Waiting for Dawn'.
What if grief is not just about death but about loss in all its forms In this episode, I sit down with Marissa Renee Lee for an honest conversation that does not shy away from the impact of trauma and what it really means to live with grief. We talk about how loss shows up beyond death, from identity to relationships to the life we thought we would have. Marissa shares from her new book Waiting for Dawn , a must read, and together we dissect excerpts that open up deeper conversations around grief, love, and healing. We also talk about writing through grief and the pressure to make meaning out of pain, making space for the truth that it is okay to take your time. There is no timeline for healing and no right way to move through it. Echoes of Her is a space for the full truth, where love and pain can exist together, and where stories help us feel less alone.
