About this episode

Tyler Woods discusses the concept of grieving the living and its impact on mental health and resilience.

Join Tyler Woods today as she shares about grieving the living, which experts say is more painful than grieving the dead. She talks about how grieving the living offers no closure, that closure creates a profound shift in perspective, and she offers suggestions for creating acceptance and ways to create that closure. Grieving the living can create a loss so profound that it can become a catalyst for building radical resilience. We no longer feel that heavy feeling in our hearts; rather, we use that loss to become stronger.
