## Resource

In this intimate solo episode, I'm opening up about one of the most challenging aspects of grief that I don't think we talk about enough: letting go of past versions of ourselves and looking towards our new self. Grief doesn’t only change our world; it fundamentally changes who we are and how we see ourselves in the world. I'm sharing today my personal journey of navigating these profound identity shifts through my various experiences of loss, up to some very present day revelations. How these revelations have revealed to me, the term 'letting go' hasn't been about resistance of letting loved ones go as that's simply not possible, but really and truly about letting the hand of a past version of Amber go. It's big, it's deep, it's woo-woo. It's very dare, I say...the new me.
