In January, we published an article showcasing podcasts that help listeners process different types of grief experiences and affirm their own grief journey. This month, we would like to highlight a similar kind of resource in video form: Ted Talks on Grief.
Many people are familiar with TED, an organization that fosters community and creates an impact through dynamic conferences, events, and talks. Over the years, TED has featured several speakers, including Nora McInerny, Jason B. Rosenthal, and Lucy Hone, who discuss topics like resiliency, moving forward with grief, and terminal illness.
If you are looking for a fresh perspective, further insight about your grief, or simply want to feel a little less alone, make space in your schedule to watch a few of these TED talks today.
