And they would go, what kind of grief?

I'd go, that kind of grief, like someone's dying or someone's already died.

And they couldn't understand it.

And here's why that happens.

Loss in our life pushes our bandwidth for pain, but it also pushes our bandwidth for happiness and joy and laughter.

People in my rooms learning about it

They probably did cry a little harder, but they also laughed harder.

Sure.

And let me start with, I was a grief expert for decades.

I had lost my mother when I was 13, horrible tragedy.

So I grew up in grief and was looking for my own healing.

And I'll tell you, when my mom died when I was young, and people will get this,

thought it was the only person that ever lost a parent.

Like, I didn't know this happened to other people at 13.

You asked about my son, David.

I adopted two boys, four and five years old.

David had been born drug-exposed.

I really thought love would conquer all.

They had an amazing childhood, great childhood.

And when he hit his teenage years, his trauma and addiction began to come up.
