  • When the World Moves On… But You Don’t
    Apr 30 2026

    In the beginning, everyone is there.

    The messages.
    The flowers.
    The check-ins.

    But slowly…
    the world starts to move on.

    And you don’t.

    This episode explores the quiet, deeply painful part of grief that often comes after the initial support fades —
    when life returns to normal for everyone else… but you’re still living with loss.

    We talk about:

    • The loneliness that follows grief
    • Feeling forgotten or left behind
    • The pressure to “be okay”
    • Why grief has no timeline
    • And how to find support when the world doesn’t understand

    If this is where you are right now…
    this episode is for you.

    🤍 You are not doing grief wrong.

  • When Grief Changes Everything Between You
    Apr 24 2026

    Grief doesn’t just change how you feel
    it changes your relationships sometimes in ways you never expected.

    In this episode of Grieving Greatly, I talk about the quiet, often unspoken shifts that happen after loss, between partners, family members, friends… and even within yourself.

    Why does it feel like people grieve so differently?
    Why do some relationships grow stronger, while others feel like they’re falling apart?
    And why can you feel so alone, even when you're not?

    This episode explores:

    • The impact of grief on relationships and connection
    • Differences in grieving styles and misunderstandings
    • The pressure to “move on” vs. your lived reality
    • Feeling disconnected from others—and from yourself
    • Learning how to navigate relationships while grieving

    If you’ve ever felt like no one quite understands your grief this episode is for you.

    🤍 You are not too much
    🤍 You are not alone
    🤍 And you are allowed to grieve in your own way

  • The Days After: Planning a Funeral for Your Child
    Apr 17 2026

    What happens after the shock… when reality starts to set in?

    In this episode of Grieving Greatly, I share what it was like in the days after losing my son, Harry—when the world expected us to start making decisions, planning a funeral, and somehow keep going while completely falling apart.

    This is the part of grief no one prepares you for.

    The practical reality.
    The conversations.
    The unbearable weight of making choices for someone you love who should still be here.

    I talk about what those days felt like for me and my family—how we navigated saying goodbye to Harry, and how grief and responsibility collided in ways that felt impossible to carry.

    If you’ve been through this, you’ll know how disorienting and surreal it can be.
    If you haven’t, this episode may help you better understand what someone in grief is truly experiencing beneath the surface.

    You don’t have to have the right words.
    You just have to be there.
