085. Why Grief Has No Timeline and Reflecting on 5 Years Without My Mom

Drop me a message or voice note!I wasn’t planning on doing this episode this year, but frankly, I’m feeling griefy… so here we are!The more I reflect on it being five years since my mom died, the more I realized how much my grief has truly changed in that time, how the loss of my mom was affected me short and long term, and why I’m more convinced than ever there is NO timeline on grief… and I’m spilling on why. I’m getting REALLY raw and real here as I share the thoughts and feelings I have as I approach my mom’s “angel day”. In this episode I reflect on how my grief has evolved over the years, particularly with the arrival of my daughter this year--which has been the greatest gift, but has certainly complicated that. Today is all about validating the myriad of emotions felt by those of us who are grieving, and how time alone truly doesn’t “heal”. I also dig into navigating this during the holiday season, especially if you’ve lost someone around this time of year, too.Finally, we’ll chat about not adhering to a timeline or feeling pressure to move on as we acknowledge the enduring impact of grief and loss.Support the showLetters of Light 💌✨ https://lossesbecomegains.com/lettersSupport the podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/lifewithgriefpodcast📖 Life Beyond Grief Substack: https://taraaccardo.substack.com/Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraShop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journalBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.
