"We don't "move on" from grief. We move forward with it."

Nora McInerny's TEDx talk covers not only the individual experience of grief, based on what she herself has experienced and what others report experiencing, but also how to support others who are dealing with grief.

The concept she primarily deals with is the concept of moving forward with grief, which echoes strongly Nat's advice to Becca, about the grief of losing a child. Nat's analogy goes like this:

“I don't know. The weight of it, I guess. At some point it becomes bearable. It turns into something you can crawl out from under. And carry around--like a brick in your pocket. And you forget it every once in a while, but then you reach in for whatever reason and there it is: "Oh right. That." Which can be awful. But not all the time. Sometime's it kinda ... Not that you like it exactly, but it's what you have instead of your son, so you don't wanna let go of it either. So you carry it around. And it doesn't go away, which is ... Fine ... actually.”
