On July 8, 2018, my life changed forever. My 94-year-old father—a native of Poland and a survivor of a Nazi labor camp—died peacefully at my childhood home. Despite my denial, I knew it was coming. I was confident I was prepared. I was not. No one truly is. I’m Michelle Gil, aka the Grief Curator, and this is the Don't Tell Me to Get Over It show, where we hold space for grief and rediscover joy – together.
