Closing the Year, Opening the Next: Grief, Hope, and Expectation

In this opening episode of Season Four, Dr. Tammy Isaac explores how grief shows up at the edges of time. She reflects on grief as a keeper of time, the permission to acknowledge what the year required of us, and the importance of setting expectations that honor both loss and humanity. This episode also reframes hope, not as pressure or forced optimism, but as something steady that can exist alongside grief.This conversation is an invitation to move into the new year without rushing healing, minimizing loss, or leaving parts of yourself behind. Grief and hope are allowed to coexist here.
