How can we cope with the loss of a loved one?

In this raw and vulnerable episode, Luna discusses ways to handle grief after experiencing an unexpected loss in her family. She highlights the importance of acknowledging and feeling our emotions, rather than suppressing them. She also emphasizes the need for support, whether it be from friends and family or mental health professionals, and suggests joining support groups as another option. 

Luna encourages listeners to take care of themselves through activities they enjoy and to not pressure themselves to "bounce back" too quickly. Grief has no timeline, and it's okay to continue to feel sadness. Ultimately, Luna suggests that we can grow around our grief, acknowledging that losing loved ones is the hardest part about being human. 

If you know someone experiencing grief or loss, please share this episode with them.  And even if you aren't feeling grief in this moment, I encourage you to press play, as there are valuable lessons within.
