The 10 Things I Didn't Expect Grief to Teach Me 💜

Grief Shifts: How Grief Changes Over Time

So, how does grief in widowhood change over time?Surprisingly, it does.We call these “grief shifts." Grief shifts happen in subtle ways. It changes shape every time you do.It moves. It breathes. It circles back.Sometimes it softens. Sometimes it explodes.Sometimes you’re healing and hurting at the exact same time.And THAT is the part you are not prepared for. You don’t get over grief. You move through it — and it moves through you. Think of grief like the weather. You can’t stop the storm, but you can learn to read the forecast.Some days it’s a drizzle—you can still function. Other days, it’s a hurricane—you cancel everything.Then there are calm, sunny days where you almost forget the storm ever happened… until thunder rumbles again.Every shift tells you something about where you are now. But get ready, because it could change at any moment.If you're shaking your head yes at all of these things, you don't want to miss this episode.#grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #widow #widowhood #podcast #thedeadtruth #thedeadtruthpodcast

Widowhood: Is Grief a Walk Alone?

I think one of the biggest shocks after loss… is realizing how lonely grief actually is. Not just physically lonely. Emotionally lonely. Because grief changes the way you experience the world. In this episode, I discuss the loneliness of grief. The invisible parts. The isolation. The disappearing people. The moments you feel emotionally abandoned. But I also talk about the unexpected people who show up. The strangers who become lifelines. The widows who speak your language before you even finish the sentence. Because maybe grief is a walk only you can take…but maybe you were never meant to walk it without witnesses. #grief #griefjourney #griefsupport #widow #widowhood #podcast #thedeadtruth #thedeadtruthpodcast
