When I lost Carlos I cycled through all the stages of grief, except acceptance. I don’t even believe in the stages of grief because stages imply there’s an order and a structure to grief. Grief tosses all plans, assumptions, and logic right out the window. It doesn’t care who you are, what you need today, or why you need it. In this episode, I acknowledge that reality and talk about ways we can move forward and not on. This podcast is for those of us trying to figure out how to do the impossible: grieve and living onwards while doing it.
