Some of the things we discuss are:

  • The process of writing Different After You
  • What’s the first thing you tell a newly widowed person — or someone who has very recently endured a traumatic experience?
  • How soon after a life-altering loss or trauma should someone read Different After You?
  • “Integration” is a core part of Different After You. We discuss what integration is why it's important.
  • How connecting with a community of others who are going through profound loss helps someone.
