How Do We Break the Grip of Grief?

Phil Cohen returns this week with a chat about how grief impacts the mind, body and spirit and what we can do to help support healing in each. We explored how grief is more than just an emotional experience. It rewires the brain, changes how the body functions, and shakes our spiritual foundation. 

Phil works to bring hope and clarity to something that often feels overwhelming and isolating. Remember that grief does not need to break us and that there are ways to carry grief that make life meaningful again.
