Grief is something we all experience, yet most of us don’t know how to talk about it, process it, or support others through it. In light of the recent LA wildfires and devastating tragedies, this conversation is more important than ever. Today, we’re diving deep into grief, trauma, and healing with licensed grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa, who has spent over 20 years helping individuals and families navigate loss. Gina is the author of the bestselling book Moving On Doesn’t Mean Letting Go and a leading voice in grief literacy. In this episode, she breaks down why society is often “grief illiterate” and how we can shift the way we approach loss. We also explore how families can grieve together, how to help children process loss in an age-appropriate way, and what it truly means to heal. Gina shares invaluable insights on self-care during grief, why healing doesn’t mean forgetting, and how to support loved ones without unintentionally causing harm. Whether you’re navigating a personal loss, supporting someone through grief, or simply want to better understand how loss shapes us all, this episode will change the way you think about grief.
