Episode 5: The Rebellious Widow: Making Grief & Loss "Fun" [featuring Jill Johnson-Young]
During this episode, I talk with Jill Johnson-Young, otherwise known as "The Rebellious Widow." Jill is a grief therapist and expert, group practice owner, author, speaker, and so much more.
We discuss Jill's incredible grief journey where she talks about the grief and loss of two of her wives and marrying her third wife... the kicker is that they all knew each other in one way or another.
Talking Points Include:
- Why therapists don't feel comfortable talking about grief and loss
- Questions that you definitely should not ask someone grieving
- Jill's incredible outlook on some very difficult topics
- How to support clients and loved ones who are grieving
- Why it's important to get comfortable with the uncomfortable
- Destigmatizing grief and loss
Check out Jill's website for grief and loss resources, classes*, and community.
