Reframing Grief as Love

In this episode, Lisa Michelle Zega shares a profound perspective on the relationship between grief and love. Drawing insights from a course on Black history, Zega has come to see grief not as something to be feared, but as a patient, kind, and celebratory expression of the highest form of love. By reframing grief in this way, Zega suggests we can find healing, forgiveness, and a path to a new future, both individually and collectively. This thought-provoking exploration challenges listeners to reconsider their understanding of the grieving process and the transformative potential of embracing grief as love.
