4: What Losing My Dad Taught Me About Grief

You made a plan for how long your grief should take, and grief didn't follow it. You told yourself two weeks, then went back to work assuming you'd feel more like yourself by then. You didn't. If you're still waiting to feel like yourself again after losing a parent, this episode is for you. I talk about what happened in the six months after my dad died suddenly, why the two-week plan I made turned into three and a half months, and why chasing the old version of myself kept me stuck instead of helping me heal. I get into the shoulds that made grief harder to carry, the gap between what grief looks like from the outside and what it really demands, and why there's no such thing as a grief timeline that fits everyone. If you've ever quietly wondered why grief doesn't work the way everyone told you it would, this one's for you.
