The Grief No One Prepares You For When a Friend Dies
Society is generally bad at dealing with grief in general. How difficult it would be if you are dealing with a uniquely different kind of sadness, such as friend loss? Irene Weinberg is joined by writer, podcaster, and certified grief educator Hannah Rumsey, who sheds light on why losing a friend is widely considered disenfranchised grief. She explains how the death of her beloved friend Lauren inspired her to launch a podcast and build a community centered on offering proper support for friend-loss grievers.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:
- How the death of her close friend helped Hannah gain more insight about herself and continues to shape her life today.
- Toxic beliefs and stories she told herself that complicated Hannah’s grief.
- The hard work of pulling out of despair and isolation.
- How story writing and writing helped Hannah unravel toxic beliefs and move towards healing.
- Why and how Hannah created a podcast and a community specifically for friend loss.
