How Does Grief Affect Your Body?


Listen Later

On this week's episode, we’re talking about the physical effects of grief we experienced in those early days of widowhood and how it affects us in the present. From lack of sleep to constant stress and somatic pain, we share our personal experiences and the profound impact grief had on our bodies. 

Key topics in this episode:

  • Kim recounts her journey with knots in her shoulders, sore hips, and all manifestations of the stress and fear she carried
  • Melissa opens up about her sudden loss and the immediate changes she noticed in her body, from loss of appetite to irregular heartbeats
  • Jen describes how her state of shock caused everything to go numb

We cover not sleeping, bad tasting food, adrenal fatigue, where trauma is stored in our bodies, irregular heartbeats, anxiety, and so much more.
