All There Is with Anderson Cooper · Mikaela Shiffrin On the ‘Maze’ of Grief For Her Dad · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

So going through that process and then returning to racing after that, I struggled mentally a lot more than I would have ever anticipated.

And

I started to learn a lot more about PTSD during that time and realized how close PTSD and grief are like

sort of like sister symptoms or signals, I guess you might call it in psychology, like the fogginess, the apathy.

I think the only real big difference was with sort of PTSD from a traumatic crash.

or impact, it was more like I had an extreme fear, like an uncontrollable fear of that happening again.

Whereas with my dad's accident, it was like I had like a complete sense of apathy in my whole body.

But otherwise there was so much like this cloudy film is over your eyes and you're just seeing the world in a different color.

What I learned during some of those sessions was a history of traumatic events

makes you more susceptible to showing these signals with future traumatic events.

They all do intertwine.

Going through these checkpoints on PTSD from that crash, it did inspire like diving into the grief a little bit more too.

A lot of people talk about waves crashing down on you and you just don't really have time to come up for air.

The maze is just like, I just keep reaching dead ends.

I suppose maybe there's a similarity to you describing your childhood and so much of your life as running from things.

And it's just something to be navigated but not fixed.

And you never really find your way through it.

But you're somehow becoming more understanding of what that maze is.

And maybe you find...

patterns to the way that things are going to feel when something crops up for myself to know certain scenarios where like I need to remove myself from the room and go to the bathroom and get collected versus my eyes might well up but I'm going to be able to smile and I'll be okay it's like sort of learning to navigate something that you realize that there's not really an end to it
