Grieving is the natural response to a loved one’s death. This process involves several stages that we must be aware of.
And no one should question how you handle each stage. How you deal with loss is a personal experience.
In this episode, Richard Dri and Palma Polesel explain the five stages of the grieving process, and how emotions like anger, depression, and sadness have affected them personally as surviving spouses.
Join Richard and Palma as they discuss:
- The state of denial and shock when your spouse passes away
- How both Richard and Palma felt angry when they lost their spouses
- The negative effects depression can have on your finances
- Why acceptance and moving forward is different for everyone
- And more!
