Episode Summary: In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Healing Starts with a Heart, grief specialist Sharon Brubaker explores the raw truth behind her book Grieve That Sht*. Through honest storytelling and lived experience, Sharon unpacks “the grief sh*t”—the real, often unspoken pain that comes with loss—and what it actually feels like in the body, mind, and soul. This episode is a lifeline for anyone navigating the devastating aftermath of grief and looking for real talk, not clichés.
Key Points Discussed:
The origin and meaning behind the book title Grieve That Sht*
What "the sh*t" really is: the messy, painful, and often invalidated experience of grieving
Grief as a full-body, biological, emotional, and intellectual experience
The myth of “moving on,” “closure,” and other harmful expectations
Why people say the wrong things, and how to hold your truth anyway
You can’t outthink grief—you have to feel your way through it
Grief is more than death: it includes lost dreams, identities, relationships, and futures
Journal Questions for Reflection:
What does "the grief sh*t" look like in your life right now?
When have you tried to “outthink” your grief, and how did that feel in your body?
How do you resist grief—and what might it feel like to let go just a little?
What parts of your life or identity have you grieved that weren’t related to death?
What’s one honest answer you could give someone if they asked how you’re really doing?
Conclusion: Grief isn’t just emotional—it’s physical, spiritual, and all-consuming. It changes everything, and there’s no handbook, no timeline, no “right” way to do it. But one truth remains: you are not broken. You are grieving, and your body knows what to do. You don’t have to hold your breath through it—you can let yourself breathe again. Let this episode be your reminder: you’re doing a damn good job just making it through today.
