Realism in a time of grief
Mark Pollock and Simone George TED Talk
“Acceptance is knowing that grief is a raging river. And you have to get into it. Because when you do, it carries you to the next place. It eventually takes you to open land, somewhere where it will turn out OK in the end. “
Simone says this so beautifully. The balance between optimism and realism (hope and acceptance) is something everyone in this community understands. While eventually we all must face an “end”, we all seek to have the best QOL in the meantime. Easier said than done, of course, but their story is an inspiration that I thought too good to keep to myself
