grief is real y'all and listen if you are alive you have either known someone

personally and close to you or someone in your circle of influence who has passed

away sooner than expected. I want to talk about grief and I want to talk about

grief with Tiffany Coleman. I know you may not who she is but by the end of this

conversation not only will you know who she is but you will be marked forever

by her story. This is the Sister Circle podcast and I want to thank you for

joining me if you didn't know who I was before now I'm Crystal Evans Hurst and I

want to invite you to join me on the journey of what happens when we gather

and circle up. I invite a sister or a brother to join me to talk about life

or as to keep it real and for us to realize we're not alone and on today's

podcast Tiffany Coleman is going to talk about her own story of grief what she's

learned how she's powering through it not only as a widow but as a mother of

four children love to raise them alone but how she is choosing joy and

reconciling the real work of doing grief well but not allowing grief to

consume you and isn't that the story of life together altogether life is going

to happen because life life that's what life does but you and I get to choose

over and over again in our life through the difficult through the hard through

the pain through the unexpected to choose to live here's what I want to say

before I dive into my conversation with Tiffany and if you know me you've heard

me say this before but it bears repeating you get to choose I don't care what's

happened to you I don't care if your story is is difficult or worse than other

people's stories I don't care how bad it is or how long it's been bad I don't
