What Grief Feels Like From the Inside - and Why Some Losses Hurt More Than Others | Ep 17
Manage episode 485557476 series 3645851
Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all.
In this raw and vulnerable episode, we open up about the complex, messy reality of loss — not just death, but the grief of relationships, routines, jobs, and even parts of ourselves we didn’t realise we were mourning.
From personal stories to therapeutic insights, we explore the grief cycle (yes, there’s more than one!), the unexpected ways it shows up, and why it's okay if your grief doesn’t look like anyone else’s.
Whether you've experienced loss recently or you're still carrying it years later, this episode is a reminder that your feelings are valid - no matter what or who you've lost.
We talk about:
- Why grief isn’t always about death
- How some losses cut deeper than others — and why that’s okay
- The 5 stages of grief (and why you don’t have to follow them in order)
- The “tennis ball” grief theory that explains what it’s like to carry pain over time
- How grief can show up as anger, numbness, control, or even home DIY
- Why “time heals” isn’t always true (and what does help instead)
- The power of remembering with less pain, not no pain
You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.
