Episode 13: Finding Hope Beyond Grief — with Dr. Larry Drell
Description
In this episode of Greater Than Grief, host Melissa Hull welcomes Dr. Larry Drell to discuss his insightful take on her book, Dear Drew: Creating a Life Bigger Than Grief. Together, they explore the vital role of hope — not only in therapy, but in everyday life.
Dr. Drell shares personal stories and clinical experiences that reveal why balancing an honest acknowledgment of past traumas with a vision for future possibilities is essential for healing. Melissa opens up about her own journey through grief, the struggle to keep hope alive, and the unexpected power of kindness from strangers along the way.
They dive deep into the importance of self-awareness, the conscious choice between reaction and response, and how compassion — both toward ourselves and others — can be truly transformative. This heartfelt conversation is a reminder that while grief may shape us, it doesn't have to define us.
