103 - What I learned when I asked what grieving people found helpful
In August, 2022, I created a survey for people who had lost a loved one.
I asked four core questions about their experience after a death: what they found helpful in 1) what people said or 2) did or 3) gave in grief support materials, and 4) what people wish someone had said or done. I asked for demographics about their loved one and about them.
Today I'm talking about what I learned.
