Things My Mother Forgot to Mention

The Grief of Everything


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk about the many faces of grief—and how it's not just about death. From heartbreak and dementia to aging bodies and old friendships, this one’s for anyone who’s had to say goodbye to something (or someone) they loved.

We get into:

  • The sneaky, shapeshifting nature of grief
  • What “ambiguous grief” actually means
  • How grief is deeply connected to attachment
  • Why we need rituals—and how they help us move through pain
  • Grief triggers and how to cope
  • Creating meaning from loss (even when it feels impossible)

Whether you’re in it, past it, or dreading it—this conversation will meet you where you are.
