MID: Holly Wainwright — Grief Has No Time For Your Bullshit

Outlouders, grief has no time for fancy words and clever jokes. In fact, it hasn't a lot of time for words, full-stop. It's a full-body experience that can change you on every level.

And at this time of year, loss, be it past or present, can feel all the more raw. That's why this episode of MID feels so important to share today. Interfaith minister, author and death-walker Dr Jackie Bailey has experienced a great deal of loss, and she spends her life walking others through it, helping people prepare for it, and acknowledging it when it happens.

If you think that makes for a depressing interview, you'd be wrong. Jackie is insightful, wise and funny, full of both practical and emotional support for the grieving. She's the perfect person to help us through the hard parts.
