Episode 4: Holding on, Letting Go

Episode 4: Holding on, Letting Go

Grief doesn’t always come with closure. In this episode of You, Me and Them, we return to our Supporting Your Partner series to explore what it really looks like to show up for someone who is grieving—and how it feels to be the one grieving when the loss is complicated. Jasmine opens up about losing her father shortly after being laid off, while still navigating the emotional weight of a broken father-daughter relationship. Vivian shares what it means to support her through it—both as a partner and as someone affected by the grief herself. We also talk about another kind of grief: the loss of a close friendship. Vivian reflects on the pain of watching a long-term friendship dissolve, and the hard decision to let it go when it stopped feeling mutual. In this episode we dive into topics like: * Grieving people who hurt us * Setting boundaries with partners during grief * Why it’s hard to lean on community * Navigating complicated family dynamics * Honoring memory while creating space in shared life * Friendships that fade and the mourning that follows Whether you’re supporting someone through loss or carrying your own, this episode holds space for both of grief and love.
