Series Special Happya Ever After: Why You Feel Stuck After Grief


Listen Later

🪷If something in this spoke to you, I’d love to hear, message me.

Feeling stuck after grief can be deeply unsettling especially when you’re no longer in crisis, but life still isn’t moving forward.

In this episode of Happya Ever After, Clare Deacon explores why so many people feel stuck after loss, and why this experience is often misunderstood both by others and by the person living it.

This is the phase where survival has eased, but direction hasn’t yet returned. Where motivation feels low, the future feels unclear, and you may be quietly wondering why you can’t seem to “get going” again.

This episode is for you if:

  • You’re functioning, but feel emotionally flat or directionless
  • You know you don’t want to stay as you are, but don’t know what comes next
  • You feel pressure to move on, but something inside is holding back
  • You’re judging yourself for not coping “better” by now

Clare gently explains the difference between being stuck and stabilising, why this pause can be a necessary part of grief, and how your nervous system and sense of meaning are recalibrating after loss.

This is not an episode about pushing forward or forcing change.
 It’s about understanding this in-between phase with compassion and releasing the belief that something has gone wrong.

You are not failing.
 You are adapting.
