Understanding Grief: A Heartfelt Conversation with Leslie Barber

Well, it's important to do what works for you, right, if you sit down and think, to think to yourself like actually a minute nap every afternoon would help, or you know, sitting down with a nice cup of tea and my journal for minutes would help. You got to figure out what brings you energy.
Why is grief such a difficult topic for many of us to talk about? In this episode of 'Hopestream', host Brenda Zane sits down with Leslie Barber, a woman who knows the depths of grief all too well. After losing her husband to cancer, Leslie transformed her pain into a mission to help others navigate their own grief journeys.
This conversation isn't just about the loss of a loved one; it's about the many forms grief can take and why we often struggle with it. From the 'normal' losses parents experience when their teens veer off course to the ambiguous and anticipatory grief that comes with a child's substance misuse, Leslie offers a wealth of insight.
You'll hear about practical self-care tips, like finding what energizes you and establishing healthy habits, as well as why it's crucial to acknowledge grief in all areas of life, including the workplace. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by grief or unsure how to cope, this episode offers a compassionate and authentic guide to understanding and managing this complex emotion.
