Grief vs Depression — How to Know the Difference and Why It Matters | Danielle Corrie

her mum to motor neuron disease and her beloved dog Tita in the same year. About grief that comes not from death but from any kind of loss, a relationship, a job, a friendship, a version of your life that did not happen the way you planned. About what it means to be loving someone through their final chapter right now. And about the eight years it took to write a book from a dog's perspective because sometimes the only way to get close enough to the truth is to tell it from a different angle.

She also says something that I have not been able to stop thinking about.

Grief is not something you get over. You might get through it. But you never get over it.

Because the opposite of love is grief. And love does not have a finish line.

If you have ever been handed the wrong word for what you were feeling, this episode is for you.
