In this video, Lisa Keefauver, MSW, grief activist, social worker, narrative therapist, author, and educator, gives us a glimpse into some of her hows and whys on navigating grief. Lisa's understanding of grief comes from her own life — including childhood trauma, the sudden death of her husband/coparent, and her experience with cancer (which she was undergoing treatment for at the time this piece was filmed).
Lisa is the host of top-rated podcast Grief is a Sneaky Bitch, an adjunct professor of loss and grief at the University of Texas at Austin, and a thought leader across media platforms. Watch her recent TEDx Talk: Why knowing more about grief can make it suck less and stay tuned for the release of her book Grief Is a Sneaky Bitch: An Uncensored Guide To Navigating Loss in June 2024.
