TED Talk: We Don't Move on From Grief
In a talk that's by turns heartbreaking and hilarious, writer and podcaster Nora McInerny shares her hard-earned wisdom about life and death. The talk focuses on her experience after the loss of her husband, but the message applies regardless of the relationship we have with the person we've lost. We don't 'move on' from grief. We move forward with it.
