In this episode, I sit down with grief activist Lisa Keefauver to explore the complexity and expansiveness of grief, which is often misunderstood in our culture. Lisa shares her thoughts on what she wishes our culture would change around grief and loss, highlighting that grief impacts us emotionally, physically, cognitively, relationally, and spiritually. We dive into the messy parts of grief and human behaviors surrounding it, unpacking what we discover about ourselves and others during the grieving process. Lisa Keefauver’s wisdom stems from her decades of experience as a social worker, narrative therapist, and personal loss, including the death of her husband from brain cancer. Her advocacy extends to her work as host of the top-rated podcast Grief is a Sneaky Bitch, teaching, consulting, and speaking on grief, helping individuals and organizations become grief-smart.
