Summary
Years ago I saw this viral video by this woman named Nora, aka @NoraBorealis, aka Nora McInerny. It was a 14 minute Ted Talk about grief, delivered with honesty, humour, and the notion that we don’t “Move On” from those we lose, we move forward WITH them and because of them. Nora is an expert in loss. She lost in a span of weeks her husband, her unborn child and her father. Yet today we share this insightful and beautiful message of grief and the journey through it, in ways beyond the loss of a person - this episode is not to be missed.
