Summary

 What happens when grief doesn’t come just once, but in layers?

In this episode of The Grief Between Us, Patti sits with Darlyn to explore the experience of carrying multiple forms of grief at the same time. Together, they talk about losing loved ones, navigating mental illness within a family, unresolved family ruptures, and the complicated reality of continuing forward while still holding pain.

Darlyn shares the story of losing her grandson Theo shortly after his birth, the heartbreak of watching her daughter walk through unimaginable loss, and the way grief can affect generations all at once. She also speaks openly about parenting children with bipolar disorder and anxiety, and the grief that can come with unmet expectations, fear, and watching someone you love struggle.

This conversation explores layered grief, self-compassion, therapy, faith, and the importance of allowing joy and sorrow to coexist. Together, Patti and Darlyn reflect on the ways grief impacts both the body and the spirit, and how healing often begins by simply allowing ourselves to feel what is true.

If you’ve ever felt buried beneath multiple losses, or struggled to believe the light would return, this episode offers a gentle reminder: the eclipse won’t last forever.
