There’s a difference between grief that hurts and grief that has taken over. Most senior men can recognize the former — it’s painful, but you’re still functioning, still showing up, still moving. The latter is something different: prolonged, debilitating, affecting your sleep, your appetite, your relationships, your will to engage with life. In this episode, we talk honestly about the signs that grief has crossed a line and professional support is needed — not as a sign of weakness, but as a sign of self-awareness. We also walk through how to find the right help and what to expect from it.
