Grief is a normal human experience. Yet in a grief-phobic culture that often fears and pathologizes this natural response to change and loss, few of us are equipped to navigate this terrain. Join grief coach, death midwife and interfaith minister Naila Francis as she shares her journey to cultivating a relationship with this difficult guest and how that path led her to the work she does now. She’ll also explore grief’s invitation to us when it arrives, as well as offer practices to help us make a home for our aching hearts.
