Grief Sucks - Ep322

In this heartfelt episode of Through a Therapist’s Eyes, we dive deep into why grief truly sucks - and why it’s still a vital part of healing. From the brain’s trauma-like response to loss, to the layers and patterns of grief that don’t always follow a neat timeline, we explore how it affects not just emotions, but sleep, appetite, cognition, and even your immune system. We unpack concepts like “pre-grieving,” discuss the hidden pain of disenfranchised losses, and share practical strategies for navigating the storm - whether that’s through small acts of self-care, rituals of remembrance, or simply allowing yourself to feel without judgment. Join us as we break the silence around grief, challenge the clichés, and remind you: what you’re feeling is not only real - it’s necessary.
