On this episode, Kyle is sharing her story of not just going through one loss, but two. The loss of her brother, Jeff, and her mother, Sue. She speaks on the extremely important topics of suicide, mental health, the taboo and shame around those subjects, cancer, not having children, chronic illness and the different experiences of grief. This is an important episode and as a Grief Coach herself, Kyle shares some wonderful advice and insight that I believe everyone should hear.
