Grief Connects Us All | Compassion and Common Ground with Dr. Ken Druck (Revisited)

The following episode is a revisited episode from a previous conversation with Dr. Ken Druck that I feel is just as meaningful and relevant today as when it first aired. In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Ken Druck, a Ph.D. and grief expert, for a meaningful conversation about navigating "what now" moments. These moments can arise on a personal level or in response to larger global challenges, and Dr. Ken offers powerful insight into how we can meet them with resilience, compassion, and purpose. He shares how times of hardship can become opportunities for growth and positive change. We also explore the importance of finding common ground, practicing empathy, and forming unexpected friendships even when our perspectives differ. The conversation touches on the universality of grief and the unique challenges parents face in today’s uncertain world. Themes of self-compassion, patience, and humility shine through as essential tools for moving forward through uncertainty. At its core, this episode captures the human experience—the struggle with loss, the strength of love, and the possibility of discovering joy even in the midst of sorrow.
