Episode 2: Why Grieve?

Daniel discusses the importance of participating in the grieving process. Moving through the steps of this process has played a significant role in how he has dealt with the diagnosis of Parkinson’s. We know there is a process of grief when we lose a loved one. The diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is the end of life as a person knows it. The direction of our lives is ground to a complete stop. The need to grieve the loss of that life is valuable! We don’t heal all at once but over time the emotions ease. We need to move forward and redefine what life is with the disease. Eventually, the hope is to free up the energy and not continue to live in the past. To keep walking ahead emotionally instead of giving up.
