"There is no timeline to grieve, just as there is no timeline to love." Lauren Prior

Lauren is a Trauma Therapist who has a compelling story to share - about losing her husband while she was mere days away from giving birth to their child.\xa0

Join the conversation to see what kind of friend you are when a loved one is grieving. What is the right thing to do? What about the wrong things?\xa0

Lauren shares the story of what led to her husband's fatal accident that night and how she managed to keep going. Grabbing onto the benefit of the shock within grief, how did she handle coming out of the fog when the offers for help started to fade away?

"Be brave enough to ask" is the answer she gives when I enquire about the best way to help someone who is grieving a death. Be there. Show up. "I'm gonna sit here while you cry."

Luckily for all of us, Lauren Prior is working on a book and I have a giant notion it's going to help the masses with how to ask for help, be the right kind of friend, and know that it's ok to simply ask.\xa0
