160: Why It's Okay Not to Be Okay After Loss
Manage episode 308134766 series 2795092
Every day, 316 people are shot in the United States. Of those, 106 are killed. But Americans aren't great at dealing with grief. As a result, major questions survivors of gun violence have -- "what is the "right" way to grieve after a shooting?"; "how can I best give support to those I love after a shooting?"; "how are communities supposed to put themselves back together after such a loss?" -- aren't even discussed, let alone answered. And because we don't talk about grief, we get trapped. As best-selling author, psychotherapist, and grief advocate Megan Devine puts it, "so we’re stuck: friends and family want to help, grieving people want to feel supported, but no one gets what they want."
To learn how to better have these conversations, and truly support the survivors in our lives, Megan joins Kelly and JJ for an illuminating discussion.
