Grief isn’t something to fix. It’s something to understand.
In this conversation with Katherine Shear, one of the world’s leading experts on grief, we break down what actually helps when you lose someone you love.
We challenge the biggest myths—like the idea of “getting over it” or moving through neat stages—and instead explore what healthy adaptation really looks like.
You’ll learn:
• Why grief feels especially disorienting in your 20s & 30s
• The difference between healthy grief and being stuck
• 2–3 simple practices that actually help in the early days
• Why suppressing grief slows healing
• The highest-leverage step if you feel stuck
And most importantly:
Grief isn’t just pain.
It’s love—with nowhere to go.
This episode is about learning where that love can go next.
