"Grief is not something you fix, it’s something you honour." - Addison Brasil

Our next guest, Addison Brasil, is no stranger to loss and has spent thirteen years in the Grief Club arena. He lost his brother to cancer, found his father after suicide, and survived a fatal accident that killed a dear friend and left him relearning to walk. And yet still when friends or family experienced loss he would freeze – not wanting to send flowers, empty condolences, or food when he knew the realities of grief are so much more.

Addision shares his story, taking us through three significant and uniquely different grief processes that he's had to navigate in his life. Through his story we learn how to build a grief resilient toolkit, and how through that process he encourages us to bravely discard what we don't need.

Grief is something that we all are experiencing, and Addison's gift to us all has been shared through a book (reference below) he wrote after 13 years of working through his macro grief experiences. Through this episode and via the book, it is very evident that Addison is in the grief arena with all of us. 

This is such a healing epside, so don't miss one minute of it.
