Since 2015, I've been immersed in other people's grief. That sounds dark, but it's my job: I have a weekly podcast called Terrible, Thanks For Asking where I talk to people who have been through hard things.

I'd lost my husband, my father and my second pregnancy in late 2014, and I needed to get out of my own experience and my own pain and prove to myself that what I was feeling and experiencing was normal.

Over 200 episodes later, I know that Grief is as personal as it is universal, and if you're raised in a griefaverse society (hello, America) you'll think that how you feel and how you deal is wrong. Your experience is yours, and there's no list of things you "should" feel, or when you "should" feel them.
