We start this episode with the admission, "we don't like to talk about death." Yet, death is a certainty and touches us all. In this emotional episode we talk to Heather McLeod about the devastating and untimely death of her husband Brock. We discuss the importance of grief, how to support the bereaved and how to keep Brock's memory alive. We are thankful for Heather's honesty, vulnerability, openness and courage both on her blog and in this episode. Her words will serve as a lifeline for many. This! Is Obstacle Course. It's time we talked about death.
Heather's blog is essential reading. Beautifully raw, honest and true. May it be a lifeline for you when you find yourself in the ocean of grief.
