Summary

Zibby is joined by licensed grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa to discuss MOVING ON DOESN’T MEAN LETTING GO, a heartfelt and helpful map through any loss—a parent, a friendship, a job, a miscarriage—that helps shift the pain when it feels unpredictable and overwhelming. Gina reflects on her experiences as a grief therapist, highlighting social discomforts and the need for supportive communities that embrace vulnerability. She also talks about trauma, societal expectations surrounding grief and “moving on,” and, with this new book, the unexpected joy of connecting with fellow grief experts and authors.
