For many people....

losing a grandparent is the first experience of grief. But, it's not always treated that way. Because it's expected. "Part of Life." Because people often assume it should be easier to process.

In this episode, we talk about what this kind of loss actually feels like, beyond what people say about it.

The connection grandparents often represent. The way their presence shapes our lives, and the quiet ways grief can show up later when it wasn't fully processed at the time.
