E27: What Is "Meta Grief"? A New Term for Grief Exhaustion, Burnout, and Being Tired of Grieving


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you're grieving not just a loss, but grieving grief itself? In this episode, I introduce the term "meta grief"—the invisible sorrow that comes from being tired of grieving, worn down by ongoing tragedy, or overwhelmed by the endlessness of loss. If you've felt grief fatigue or wondered how long this will last, this episode is for you.

You'll learn:

  • What meta grief means and why I created the term

  • How grief fatigue, burnout, and despair show up in everyday life

  • Why it's normal to feel overwhelmed by ongoing personal or global loss

  • The hidden grief of knowing there's always more grief to come

  • How to cope when you're sick and tired of grieving
