Hi, this is Claire Kenny Colleen from Chicago, Illinois, to sort of continue to get creative

and encourage ongoing learning through working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

My team is an eye-adventure and organized virtual book club.

And so we had that first virtual book club session yesterday, along with a little half

hour. It's just a good way to end the day and kind of cultivate camaraderie and learning

at the same time and continue a tradition that we have been doing in person starting

in January 2020. Thanks so much.

We're all going through a lot of grief these days. And as this pandemic progresses,

more of us will come into close contact with losing someone important to us.

Now, obviously, even without a rogue virus sweeping the globe, death happens. Whether you

lose your partner, your parent, your child, your friend, grief is grief. It's your loss,

it's important. And it can leave you feeling so crushed you can't seem to catch your breath.

I'm Stephanie O'Neill, a regular NPR contributor covering health policy,

here with a beginner's guide to navigating grief. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through

tips for moving through grief. Although this advice is focused on the death of a loved one,

much of it also applies to other loss you may be experiencing. So no matter your grief,

this will help you better ride the waves and morph the loss into healing.

So here's something interesting about grief. It's both a universal human experience and a

profoundly personal one that shows up in ways totally unique to each of us. How you grieve one

person will likely be completely different than how your friend or sibling does, or even how you

grieve another person you love and lose. And I'll help you hang on because this is really hard

stuff. But take it on fully says grief expert Terry Daniel, and it can shake you alive and awake
