The Weird Duality of Grief No One Talks About
What do you do when your grief doesn’t look the way you thought it would?
In this episode, Gabri unpacks a rarely discussed emotional paradox: the way grief can make you feel completely numb and, at the same time, too empathetic to function. She shares how losing her mom rewired her ability to process emotion — from not crying at the funeral, to breaking down over things that had nothing to do with her loss.
We talk about:
- What emotional shutdown looks like after deep loss
- How grief can make you hyper-aware of everyone else’s pain
- The guilt of not grieving "correctly"
- Why your emotional responses might surprise you
- And how to start giving yourself grace for the ways grief shows up in your body and brain
This isn’t about finding the silver lining — it’s about naming the weird middle ground of feeling everything and nothing at the same time.
If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t grieving the “right” way, this one’s for you.
