“Secondary loss” has become a common term in the grief community to refer to all the other things that change in addition to your loved one not being physically here anymore. A frequent secondary loss is of friends and family who disappear from your life. But what about if you're the one who decides to end the relationship?

Whitney had never been to therapy before Orion died. She felt overwhelmed trying to learn who she should talk to and where to find them, and ended up working with some of the wrong therapists before she found the right ones. Whitney asked her grief counselor to share what are some signs you should be considering therapy, what kind of therapies are there and how to know if your therapist is a good fit. We hope you enjoy and that this helps you on your grief journey.

Do you know who you are? Have you been questioning that more since the passing of your child? Is there an "old you" that you miss? And maybe most importantly, are you creating the "new you" or is it just a product of your grief after your child's death?

Whitney has been asking these questions of herself lately as the third anniversary of Orion's death passes. She doesn't have any answers, just her own observations for her so far.

We hope you enjoyed this episode. It is the last one of Season 1 of The Selfish Griever Podcast. Whitney is going to be busy planning content for Season 2, as well as some other exciting projects for The Selfish Griever Community, and will be back with the first episode of Season 2 on Wednesday, October 4th, 2023.

**I'm not going to say trigger warning, because honestly thats every episode on this podcast. But today's episode is highly emotional, so please don't listen until you're in a safe space. This episode will always be here, so you can skip it and come back if necessary.

Today marks the third year without Orion here to hug. Whitney shares a part of her grief journey that she doesn't see mentioned often, especially since it is something that everyone has to deal with - what to do with your loved ones remains?

Whitney struggled not only when they had to make intial decisions on how they wanted to proceed, and all the details that entailed, but now the way that she feels about Orion's grave where it was decided to bury him.
