She Was My Favorite Person - Hello, I'm Grieving & Dr. Julie Shaw
Dec 3rd, 2021 | Episode 211
When our favorite person dies, our entire world gets up-ended. That person was often the planet in our galaxy that all the other planets and moons orbited. For Dr. Julie Shaw that person was her big sister, Jennifer. Jennifer died of Lupus in February of 2020. In the months that followed, Dr. Shaw realized how important it is for people to have acknowledgment and connection in their grief. So, she started Hello, I'm Grieving, a social media account focused on bringing more visibility and awareness to grief.
In our conversation we talk about:
- How grief changes our family dynamics
- What it means when your favorite person dies.
- The interplay of grief and Dr. Shaw's work as an equity & inclusion consultant.
- The impact of Hello, I'm Grieving.
- How to be present for others while carring your own grief.
- Navigating the grief of infertility.
Follow Dr. Julie Shaw and Hello, I'm Grieving on Instagram, Facebook, and online.
