šŸŽ™ļøĀ Episode 11 – The Different Types of Grief: Exaggerated Grief
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

When grief doesn’t ease over time—but instead intensifies and starts to take over your life—you may be dealing with more than ā€œjust grief.ā€

In this episode, we dive intoĀ Exaggerated Grief—a powerful and sometimes paralyzing form of grief that leads to overwhelming anxiety, deep depression, and destructive behaviours. It’s not about being ā€œtoo emotionalā€ā€”it’s about being emotionally flooded in a way that makes day-to-day life feel impossible.

If you're stuck in a cycle of fear, guilt, sadness, or hopelessness, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:
āš ļø What Exaggerated Grief is and how to spot it
🧠 The mental and emotional signs that go beyond ā€œnormalā€ mourning
šŸ” Common causes—from trauma and sudden loss to unresolved pain
šŸ’„ How this type of grief can hijack your physical and social wellbeing
šŸ› ļø Proven coping strategies to begin calming the storm

šŸ’¬Ā ā€œGrief is a storm—but even storms pass when we find safe shelter, support, and the strength to weather them.ā€

You are not broken. You’re in pain. And healing is possible.
