Navigating Grief and Loss

This podcast endeavours to help you through the difficult task of navigating grief and loss.

In typical times, grief is a challenging and complicated emotion. The pandemic resulted in almost everyone being touched in some way by this experience. One fifth of Americans knew someone who died from COVID-19. On this episode of Coming Back Better, our host Paul Deger shares his story of grief and loss during the pandemic and how he responded to the challenges of this experience and found a way through.

Marjorie and Paul hear from Dr. Katherine Shear, a leading expert in grief, about what grief is, how to cope with grief and how we can help someone going through grief.
