I think you should intentionally have a moment with the person that is gone, make something, talk about them, meditate on them, dance with them, post about them. Making something else with it. And I think that grief never, grief never goes away. And I think the attempt of doing something with it makes it feel better just for a moment. And this is my attempt of doing the thing.
What happens when grief meets the digital age? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara sit down with their good friend Katie Mack to explore this very question. Katie, a millennial deeply entrenched in social media, has created a one-woman show called #UGLYCRY, based on her real-life experience of losing her ex-boyfriend, Eric.
The show dives into how she uses her phone to keep his memory alive, bringing a modern twist to the age-old process of grieving. Katie shares her raw and heartfelt journey, illustrating how grief evolves over time and how our digital lives can play a role in the healing process. The trio also discusses the importance of giving space to grief and the power of witnessing others' experiences as a form of support.
To lighten the mood, they end with a fun chat about their ideal funeral playlists, featuring tunes from Lizzy McAlpine, Smashing Pumpkins, Band of Horses, and the Rolling Stones. If you're looking for an honest conversation about loss, love, and the digital ties that bind us, this episode is a must-listen.
