We are very excited to share our first Questionable Grief Decision Segment! We like to refer to them as QGD'S. In this segment of QGD'S we discuss Story's questionable grief decision, reflecting on the lessons learned and the personal growth that emerged from that tumultuous period. Story candidly expresses gratitude for the support she received, despite the questionable nature of her choices at the time, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining connections with those who stood by her side. The conversation culminates in a broader discussion about the normalization of sharing one's QGD's, advocating for a culture where individuals feel safe to express their vulnerabilities and the complexities of their grief without the burden of shame. This narrative not only provides a space for reflection but also encourages listeners to engage in open dialogues about their own experiences with grief and the questionable decisions they may have faced, fostering a sense of community and understanding amidst the often isolating experience of mourning. Through this episode, Story and Erika illuminate the path toward healing, underscoring that while grief can lead to questionable decisions, it is also a shared human experience that warrants compassion and open conversation.
