All of us will experience loss in our lives, and with loss comes grief. Still, nothing really prepares you for the toll grief takes. As Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LCSW explains, grief doesn’t just happen in your mind — it’s a five-senses experience that impacts all physical systems. “Grievers end up stunned by what a full-contact sport grief ends up being.” Anyone who has struggled with grief knows that there are many questions that come with the journey. With more than two decades of experience as a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, she helps readers make sense of their emotional experience with grief. Meghan is a TEDx speaker and hosts the popular blog and podcast Grief Is My Side Hustle. She offers a free writing workshop, Grief Mates.
