Part 3/9:

Reflecting on her grief journey, the speaker emphasizes the power of feeling emotions without judgment. She articulates a pivotal shift in her approach: instead of suppressing memories of her mother due to the pain they invoked, she began to engage with those feelings by sitting with them and discussing them openly. This shift was inspired by advice from a psychiatrist who encouraged curiosity about one’s feelings and thoughts, nurturing a more accepting attitude towards the emotional turmoil that accompanies loss.
