S1 E10- Death Days, Birthdays, And The Dogs & Tattoos That Saved Us
Manage episode 492392356 series 3664253
Navigating grief means confronting difficult dates. This episode with NHFAR host and counselor, Maya, dives into the unspoken truths of grief anniversaries and birthdays after losses. We explore the immense pressure to "do it right," the phenomenon of "grief math," and how our bodies often react before our minds. We share about the misconception that things "get better" after the first year, and the new waves of grief that emerge when loved ones are no longer present.
Join us to explore the complexities of grief, its non-linear nature, and the vital role of community. We discuss coping mechanisms, from "soul dogs" to tattoos, and emphasize the need for open conversations and shared understanding. If the calendar feels like a challenge, this episode offers a space to connect and reflect.
