This episode started as one about heartbreak. It became something much bigger.Because grief isn’t just about losing someone you love. It’s about losing a future you imagined. A friendship you thought would last forever. A career that shaped your identity. A version of yourself that no longer fits. Or someone whose absence changes the way your entire world feels.After recently losing my grandfather, I found myself asking different questions about grief than I ever had before. Why does it feel so disorienting? Why do we keep expecting people to text us, call us, or walk through the front door long after they’re gone? Why can leaving a job or a friendship hurt just as deeply as the end of a relationship?In this episode, we explore the psychology behind grief, attachment, familiarity, identity, and the incredible way our brains slowly adapt to a world that no longer looks the way we expected.If you’re grieving someone (or something) I hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone.🖤 If it resonates with you, share it with someone who might need it today.Follow me around on socials:Insta | Threads | Medium | Free Facebook community | TikTok | Substack
