On this week’s 51%, we sit down with author Theo Boyd to discuss her book My Grief is Not Like Yours, and the various forms that grief can take. Boyd, a former teacher and self-described "farm girl" from Texas, experienced a string of life-altering losses beginning in 2019, including the deaths of both of her parents. Combining personal anecdotes and advice from mental health counselors, Boyd offers comfort to those who also find themselves in the throes of "complicated grief."  Guest: Theo Boyd, author of My Grief is Not Like Yours: Learning to Live After Unimaginable Loss, A Daughter's Journey This episode contains a discussion on suicide.
