41. How Can You Move Forward in Life While Grieving? With Sukey Forbes

The first time you laugh, smile, or feel happiness while grieving
can be very unsettling. You might feel like you aren’t properly
grieving if you get distracted for a moment and don’t feel the
exquisite pain of your loss. Sukey Forbes wants you to know that
not only is it ok to do those things, it’s necessary. Sukey has
learned a lot about grief in the 18 years since her daughter
Charlotte died at only six years old. Sukey tells Claire how she
was able to parent her two other children while grieving for
Charlotte, why she thinks we need to be careful when we talk
about being resilient in the face of grief, and why being
open-minded while you are grieving can be so important to your
healing.
