“On the Air” 

When people suffer the loss of a loved one – most specifically their spouse - their life changes in major ways. Some of the transitions they will have to navigate are all too obvious. They will have to move onward without their companions; meals and long nights, not to mention vacations, will be spent alone. They will have to handle their finances and the upkeep of their house without the support they once enjoyed.

However, other transitions through which they are passing are generally left unspoken out of embarrassments or an inability to find the right words as they struggle to explain themselves. For the first time in their life they might have to consider seeking help to stabilize their emotions. That is where a grief counselor such as Jill Cohen enters the picture. She attempts to provide her clients with a safe place where they can share their strong emotions: sadness, anger, numbness.
