Grief isn’t simple — especially when the relationship wasn’t either.

In this solo episode, I respond to a listener question about what it means to grieve people with whom our relationships were unfinished, complex, or fraught.

If you’ve ever felt tangled in grief — loving someone and resenting them all at once, or mourning what could have been, or even feeling relief at someone's passing — this episode will help you find self-compassion and grounding.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why telling the truth about your feelings is an act of healing

How to navigate grief that’s layered with conflict or complexity

You're in charge of your psychic space - and can set boundaries

How acceptance becomes a form of empowerment

Why healing is less about closure, and more about clarity
