The 'Right' And 'Wrong' Ways To Grieve

Have you experienced grief? Most of us have. We often think of grief as something we feel when someone passes away, and that’s true, but we also grieve friendships that fade, jobs we lose, or opportunities that slip away. So is there really a “right” or “wrong” way to grieve? We’re not so sure. What we do know is that grief brings a whole mix of emotions, along with pressure to “move on” or “accept” before we’re ready. But grief is a process, not a deadline. In this episode of But Are You Happy, clinical psychologist Dr Anastasia Hronis and co-host Ashani Dante explore grief in all its forms, and what healthy versus unhealthy grieving can look like. You’ll also learn: What the 5 stages of grief are and why they matter Why your grieving process is unique to you How to grieve in a healthy way What closure looks like and whether finding it is helpful Watch the podcast on YouTube here.
