Throughout the Potter series, Harry loses his parents, Cedric, Sirius, Dumbledore, and many more loved ones. Grief is hard enough, but it’s made even more difficult when we lose more loved ones before we’ve truly been able to process other prior losses. In this episode, Erica shares the story of how grief affected her mental health and how Harry Potter was able to help her cope.
