Episode Letting Go Without Forgetting Cover

Beschreibung

In this episode, April, Debbie and Sharon, explore one of the most tender questions in grief: How do we let go of the people we love without letting go of who they were to us? We talk about the fear that releasing the intensity of our pain somehow means we’re leaving them behind—and how, over time, we begin to understand that letting go isn’t forgetting. It’s learning to carry their memory differently. It’s shifting from holding on with white knuckles to holding them gently in our hearts.

Episode The Messy Middle Cover

The Messy Middle

In this episode, April, Debbie, and Sharon sit in the messy middle of grief—the space that exists between the initial shock of loss and the quiet understanding that acceptance is not a finish line, but a process. We talk honestly about what it feels like to be “not okay, but not falling apart,” and how confusing, exhausting, and deeply human that in-between stage can be. The conversation explores how grief rarely moves in a straight line. Acceptance doesn’t arrive all at once; it shows up in fragments—through setbacks, small realizations, moments of peace followed by waves of sadness.  This episode is a reminder that the messy middle isn’t a failure—it’s where healing actually happens. Wherever you are in your grief, you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. TRIGGER WARNING: Some content may be sensitive to some viewers, listen at your own discretion. :)
