In this episode, I break down all the things we grieve that no one ever warns us about. Pets, exes, strangers, celebrities, dying plants, lost earrings, childhood selves, and the people who are still alive but dead to you. I cover the tiny losses that stack up, the big ones that gut-punch you, and the science of how grief hijacks your hormones, brain chemistry, and sense of reality.
