The Messiness of Life

<p>Claire Bidwell Smith, best-selling author of three books on loss (The Rules of Inheritance, After This, Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief), a grief therapist, and a Charleston-based mom of three (or six!), lost her mama Sally when she was only 18. From Claire, we learn about <strong>“healthy grief”</strong> and that <strong>there is no right way to grieve</strong>. From mama Sally, a food stylist, we learn to <strong>embrace the messiness of life, not to try fitting into boxes, and to face pain.</strong></p>
