In this deeply moving episode of Tendrils of Grief, I welcome memoirist and book coach Carolyn Flynn for an honest conversation about grief, storytelling, and healing after loss. Together, we explore how the stories we tell shape our grief—and our lives. From sudden loss to prolonged goodbyes, I share my experience losing my husband, Paul, while Carolyn opens up about untended grief, motherhood, identity shifts, and her journey through profound life transitions. We dive into what it really means to "feel your feelings," why being witnessed in grief is so powerful, and how shifting from a victim mindset to becoming the hero of your own story can change everything. If you're navigating grief, struggling with identity after loss, or searching for meaning in your pain, this episode offers both comfort and perspective—you are not alone in this.
