Thanks for listening.

You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas to spark your curiosity every day.

I'm your host, Elise Hugh.

Like so many of us, I've experienced deep loss and heartbreak, and it's always bothered me when people have said, you'll move on.

That statement has always felt, well, a little out of touch.

In this archive talk that's both hilarious and heartbreaking, writer and podcaster Nora McInerney shares her hard-earned wisdom about life and death.

She shares things we all need to hear about heartbreak, even if we'd rather avoid them, and encourages us to rethink our approach to grief, not as something to move on from, but as something to move forward with.

That was Nora McInerney speaking at TED Women in 2018.

This talk was originally published in November 2018.
