Do you struggle with what to say or what to do for someone who is grieving? I know I do and because I don’t know what is needed from me, I walk away, avoid saying anything and pray they figure it out.

Well, let me introduce you to Aly Bird. Aly is on a mission to change the culture of grief by teaching us what to say and what to do for our loved one(s) that need us!

In this episode of Worthiness Warriors, we learn from Aly Bird, a coach, author, and widow, about the importance of being a grief ally and how to support someone who is grieving.

Whether you are going through grief yourself, helping a loved one, or simply want to be prepared for when the time comes, this insightful conversation has valuable advice and empathy for everyone 🎙️💜

In this episode, of Grief is a Sneaky Bitch, Aly Bird shares the journey she’s been on since the untimely death of her young husband, the secondary and ambiguous losses she continues to uncover, and the inspiration to help create a culture of positive grief support which resulted in her beautiful book, Grief Ally.

We live in a culture that encourages us to numb discomfort and find quick solutions to our problems. However, grief defies these norms. It is a complex and ever-evolving experience that cannot simply be “gotten over.” When faced with an unexpected loss, we find ourselves unprepared for the tumultuous journey of grief and uncertain about its duration. In such times, seeking assistance and support from hospice becomes invaluable, as they can guide us in navigating and coping with grief in a healthy way. It is natural for us to feel like we’re more capable of managing our grief early on, but we must not undermine our grief by denying ourselves the support and solace that hospice bereavement services can offer. In this episode, Aly Bird talks more about grief and the tools you need to navigate through grief positively to transform your perspective and empower yourself with greater agency and comfort.
