Today's episode was inspired by a letter shared with me by a very good friend, leadership coach, and fellow podcaster, Angie Robinson. Angie joined me in episode #30 discussing Personality Types, Support, and Choosing a Word for the Year. The episode focused on providing insights to help us understand ourselves as well as others. It helped identify why some friends may shy away from those hard subjects, while others dive in and have always been by your side as you navigate your grief journey. Recently, Angie shared a letter from her friend, Steve, and as I read it, I appreciated the stripped down honesty he shared, but more importantly, the various "realities" of grief that were revealed within the letter. I saw several valuable insights which I knew were important enough to share.
