In some important ways, it doesn’t matter what your job is when somebody you care about dies. 

In today’s episode, we look at ways you can use writing to process your emotions and communicate love and loss, or to support somebody else who is in mourning. 

We also discuss the practical challenges of freelancing while grieving.

In the four years since this episode was first published, it’s quite likely you have experienced grief over the loss of a loved one (and/or have wanted to support someone who has gone through this). Grief runs on its own timeline; in this new intro I also address allowing time to grieve through the years.
