It's the difference between where your
00:00:02
life is and where you thought it would
00:00:04
be. We grieve so many more things. And
00:00:08
in this new book, there is an activity
00:00:11
towards the beginning where I get
00:00:12
readers to go through and write down all
00:00:16
of the losses they've been through in
00:00:18
their life. Not as a misery inducing
00:00:21
exercise, but to get them to realize
00:00:23
actually how much grief they've already
00:00:26
endured. It's essentially a kind of a
00:00:28
resilience digging exercise to go
00:00:31
actually you've already been through a
00:00:34
lot. But I think it is really important
00:00:35
for people to understand that grief is
00:00:39
subjective. You're allowed to grieve
00:00:41
whatever it is that you're wishing or
00:00:44
missing. It's not helpful for people to
00:00:47
put fake hierarchies around it. Dead
00:00:50
thing.
