Season 2, Ep. 18: How to build your grief tribe? The Grief Collective with Dr Marianne Trent, Clinical Psychologist
What happens when a psychologist becomes the patient of grief herself? How do you go from burning candles through tears to writing a bestselling book on loss in just one month?
In this deeply moving episode of A Guide to After Life, Dr. Monika Wieliczko speaks with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Marianne Trent, whose personal journey through the loss of her father changed not only her heart—but also her professional path.
✨ Marianne shares:
The story behind The Grief Collective and how she rallied strangers and friends to create a raw, compassionate tapestry of grief experiences
What it's really like to mother young children while mourning a parent
How creativity (like candle-making) and community held her together during the most broken days
Her honest reflections on returning to work, being a grieving therapist, and what “functioning” looks like seven years later
Why grief doesn't have a hierarchy—and why every loss matters
How grief quietly reshapes our identity, and how to make room for new love without erasing the old
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Will I ever be okay again?”
“Am I allowed to grieve this much?”
“How do I hold grief and joy at the same time?”
…this episode is for you.
Tender, candid, and beautifully real—this is a conversation that will make you feel seen.
