Write Your Grief Off. How Writing Can Alleviate Your Grief with Marsha Gray Hill
If you feel there are still things you want to say to those who transitioned, why wouldn't you?
In today's episode, I'm joined by the inspiring Marsha Gray Hill. Marsha is a Southern girl born and raised in Kinston, North Carolina. She authored "Grief and Grit(s)," a book inspired by her experiences walking her mother through dementia and Alzheimer's during the pandemic and caring for her until the day she died.
Throughout this episode, Marsha talks about how writing about her mother helped her deal with her grief, get a lot of things out of her chest, and even work around emotional blockages. She also shares her thoughts on the challenging task of caring for a deteriorating parent, anticipatory grief, how to deal with guilt after losing a loved one, and more.
