When her forty-three-year-old husband was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, Jenny Lisk was

tumultuous and heartbreaking journey, and asks: "Do I have what it takes to help my young family
survive my husband’s terminal illness?"

living your best life, even when grief smacks you in the face.

We shared lots of tips & hints about how to find grief resources in your local
area and online.
​  We also discussed the types of support groups available,
the pros & cons of in-person and online support groups, suggestions for
where to go for legal help and support after a death, and much more.

​help finding support tools and resources.

National Grief Awareness Day 2020

National Grief Awareness Day, Sunday, August 30, 2020
National Grief Awareness Day 2020
Today, August 30th, is National Grief Awareness Day, which is a great opportunity and reminder to talk
about and normalize the grief experience. 
Maybe take a moment to reach out to someone you know who
is grieving a loss and let them know you care and they are not alone, offer support, and just listen.


If you are grieving, I encourage you to take some time today to acknowledge your own grief and all that you have lost. You might also evaluate any gains from your grief process as well, if that feels helpful. If you feel up to it, consider sharing some of your grief story with someone who may benefit from your wisdom, experience, strength and hope. Don't forget to offer yourself some extra compassion and grace for what you are going though. It's hard.

Grieving is not easy, but it is easier when we are not alone.
If you are feeling alone, please reach out for support in anyway you can.


If you need some great ideas for how to find support in your local area as well as online,
​please watch the IG live that Rachel, from the Good Days, Bad Days Show, and I did today.
You can watch it here:  
https://www.instagram.com/tv/CEhraGxHRmR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
We hope you get some tips that will help you find support.
Feel free to reach out to either of us if you need direction with finding resources.

Grief Out Loud Podcast, Ep. 152: Teenage Grief Sucks - Natalie Adams

Grief Out Loud Podcast - Episode 152: Teenage Grief Sucks
When Natalie's dad died suddenly at the start of her freshman year of high school, she searched, but couldn't find what she most needed: a resource written for and by other grieving teens. She decided to create one launching the website Teenage Grief Sucks in March 2020 which serves as a platform for articles ranging from what it's like to go to driving school when you're grieving to tips for how teens can support their grieving friends.

In episode #152 of The Dougy Center's podcast, "Grief Out Loud," host Jana DeCristofaro talks
with Natalie about the teenage grief experience.
