Saying Goodbye To Liam Payne

Empaths Anonymous

Hi, Feelers! In this week's episode we say an emotional goodbye to Liam Payne after his recent passing. While we process his shocking and untimely death, we unpack:

• The duality of grieving someone who didn't always do the right thing
• Darkness in the music industry machine
• Supporting people through substance abuse and mental health struggles
• Grappling with the loss of the first death of a pop star for our generation
• Sharing our memories as One Direction fans

We know grief looks different for everyone, but we encourage you to share your stories and memories and alchemize the pain into something creative. If you do, tag us! We'd love to see it!
If you or a loved one are struggling with substance abuse, you can visit helpguide.org
