This episode tackles what grief really is and why being told to "get over it" or "move on" is wrong. I break down the science of grief, how it activates the same brain regions as physical pain and triggers stress responses that weaken your immune system and increase disease risk. You'll learn why the five stages of grief were never meant to be a rigid roadmap, why grief is not linear, and why you don't "get over" grief, you integrate it. I give you five practical strategies to work through grief: feel it instead of suppressing it, name what you specifically lost, honor it with rituals, find your community because isolation makes grief worse, and move forward while carrying the loss with you. Grief is not weakness, it's love with nowhere to go, and it deserves to be honored.
