Through our Zoom meeting, Teresa Bartel shared Nora McInerny’s 15-minute 2018 TEDWomen talk, at Nora McInerny: We don't "move on" from grief. We move forward with it | TED Talk . Nora is an author, speaker & podcaster, who makes her living talking to people about life’s hardest moments. This talk is about grief – she says “We don’t ‘move on’ from grief. We move forward with it.” In 2014, Nora had a miscarriage, lost her father within a week & her husband within a few months. She describes peoples’ discomfort dealing with her, & the range of emotional responses she had. Nora’s wonderful sense of humour & humanity shines throughout this presentation. Her 2019 book releases were “The Hot Young Widows Club: Lessons on Survival from the Front Lines of Grief,” & “No Happy Endings: A Memoir.” (Colin’s note: spending 15 minutes to watch or re-watch this presentation is well worth your time. Brilliant stuff.)
