I am an engineer, so when my partner died when I was 24 and I found myself in the midst of grief, I discovered that the best way of dealing with it was to use the engineering approach that was already ingrained in me. โAn engineer's guide to griefโ if you will.
Some bits worked (some less so!) and thatโs what I want to share with you, ahead of a honest, open conversation exploring how we can get all get better at dealing with, and talking about, death.
Trigger warnings: Death, dying, cancer, middle-aged lady probably wearing too much leopard-print
