This episode is a compilation of resources – keepsake shops, awareness organizations, links, websites, services, nonprofits, books, podcasts, etc – that I found during my loss journey. Sharing resources is always tricky because most people don’t search out these resources until they need them, and sometimes by then, it’s too late.
I encourage you to listen and learn about these resources so that you will know of them in the event that you need them.
