In this deeply personal episode, we explore the journey of life after grief. Many believe that grief never ends, but with time, the grieving process does shift, allowing room for acceptance and healing. Through vivid analogies and reflections, we discuss how grieving isn't a sudden event, but rather a slow progression, like navigating a road filled with unpredictable traffic lights. Inspired by W.H. Auden's famous poem Funeral Blues, we delve into the mourning experience, reflecting on love, loss, and the ultimate acceptance of life's changes.
The emotional rollercoaster of grief can feel endless, but eventually, we reach a moment where the mourning subsides and we begin to move forward. In this episode, I share my personal experience of clearing out a loved one’s mementos from a cedar chest—a symbolic step toward closing the chapter on my own grief.
Join us as we explore how to embrace this difficult but important process and find hope for the future, even when memories still bring occasional pain.
