Description
I had such a great discussion with Allison Gilbert for this episode. Allison was my guest back in episode 35, where we talked about her book Passed and Present, and about ways to keep the memory of our loved ones alive. This week, we talk about her new book, which is called: Listen, World! It’s a biography – and in our discussion we uncovered the important idea that biography is perhaps an under-appreciated tool in terms of grief support. Much like memoir, a great biography can be a window into other people’s grief journeys. In our discussion, we look at how Elsie Robinson, the subject of Listen, World!, chose to build a life for herself in the face of much grief and hardship. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Grief Coach - Grief support text messaging service.
