Ep 28 - Three months ago, I lost my dad - here's what's I've learnt about leading while processing grief

It’s been just over 3 months since I lost my father and I’ve learnt a lot in this time. I feel the need to share as a continuation to my first article about leading while processing grief. Loss and grief is a powerful thing. This grief is stronger than anything I’ve ever experienced yet so soft and tender at the same time. There are moments where the anxiety builds up so quickly within my throat that I know I need to release it to let it move through me as quickly as possible. I cannot ignore it. I don’t know how to and I don’t want to. There are other moments where it hits for several days straight and my heart feels empty and lost but it’s a soft cry - like a rapid river of tears that just flows until it reaches the opening and it smoothes itself out. In this episode, I share what I've learnt and how I've asked for support that has helped me navigate the rough waters.
