When Grief Stops You In Your Tracks

Even as a death doula, there are times when grief can get the best of me. This month I got news that reminded me that no matter how closely I work with death and grief, I am still very much susceptible to the disabling effects of both. 

There I was just going about living my life when I learned that my dear friend Carrie died. To say this was unexpected is an understatement. It was a heart attack. A heart attack that broke my heart when it took her life.
