People grieve differently. You could be the person who can seemly go through the steps and move forward, while another person could grieve for years. No matter what you experience, the truth is you need to give yourself permission to grieve.
I talked to Dr. Portia Locket, founder of the Azal Benne Lockett Foundation about her “permission series” as a mission to give love to those who are grieving through sudden loss or watching a loved one slowly transition through a long disease like Alzheimer’s.
We talked about the first session, “Permission to Grieve.”

Randi’s mom knew she was destined to be in some form of entertainment when even as a small child, she would pretend a pencil was a microphone and sing and charm family and friends. Later she would sing in church and college choirs. However, it wasn’t until she attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts, that Ms. Myles would find her true voice. Randi enjoys writing about the city of Detroit, faith, and the community.
