Everyone experiences the pain of loss of someone they care about at some point in their life. The older we get, the more familiar that loss becomes, but the grief that comes with it can manifest in many different ways and how or if we seek support can make a big difference in how we move forward. On this Line One, Lori Townsend guest hosts a discussion on how to understand and move through grief, with the aim of helping them find a path forward that brings them to a place of peace, acceptance and a future that has joy.
