One of the most confusing parts of grief is when you think you're starting to feel better — and then suddenly the grief comes rushing back.

In this episode, we talk about why grief often comes in waves, what triggers those emotional surges, and why experiencing them does not mean you're moving backward in your healing.

Understanding the natural rhythm of grief can help you respond to these waves with more patience and less fear.
