Grief is Personal with Krista St Germain
Grief is one of the most personal experiences we will ever have.
There isn’t a right timeline, a right emotion, or a right way to move through it. Yet so many of us wonder if we’re grieving “correctly” or judge ourselves for the emotions that surface along the way.
In this heartfelt conversation, Christie is joined by a special guest to explore the deeply personal nature of grief and the relationship we have with our emotions during loss.
Drawing from her own experience of losing both of her siblings, Christie shares how different each loss felt and how surprising emotions like anger and guilt became part of her grieving process. Together, they discuss why creating a safe, judgment-free space to process emotions can be so healing and why emotional health isn’t about fixing your feelings—it’s about allowing yourself to experience them.
The conversation also explores how self-esteem influences grief. When we criticize ourselves for crying, feeling angry, feeling numb, or even laughing, we add another layer of pain to an already difficult experience. Learning to understand and support your emotional experience allows healing to happen with greater compassion.
Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or supporting someone who is, this episode offers gentle encouragement to let go of expectations and honor your own unique journey.
