About this episode

See previous episode: Episode 7: Give Yourself Permission to Grieve (for deeper context on death and loss). If grief were a class, most of us would’ve skipped the lecture...not because we wanted to but because no one really teaches us how to deal with it. This week, we’re in Grief 101: why it’s more than just death, and how ambiguous grief-the kind with no closure shapes us too. We’ll share real-life examples and talk through practical ways to navigate both kinds of grief. Think of it as a crash course in giving yourself permission to feel, to honor what’s been lost (even if no one else names it), and to move at your own pace.
