When confronted with devastating grief, perhaps the most visceral pain humans can experience, most of us hide. We numb ourselves, distract ourselves, and do everything we can to avoid it.
My guest today is Dr. Joanne Cacciatore, who chose a different path. After the loss of her daughter, she turned toward grief rather than away from it, transforming her pain into a life's work helping others navigate loss. Joanne is one of the world's leading grief experts, a professor at Arizona State University, founder of the MISS Foundation, and author of the bestselling Bearing the Unbearable. She has supported grieving families around the world and served on a mental health advisory board for Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry.
