Ep 11: Grief & Identity Loss

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s episode of Grief is My New Hobby, I surprise myself by getting very emotional as I open up about the ways grief reshapes our identity.I explore the deep, often unspoken loss of identity that comes with losing someone we love, the way titles like daughter, parent, partner, or caregiver can suddenly shift or disappear, leaving us unsure of who we are now. These aren’t just words; they’re roles that shape how we move through the world and how others see us.I talk about the uncomfortable feeling of living as the “before me” and the “after me,” and what it means to try to integrate grief into who we are today. This chat is a vulnerable self-reflection, one that honours the pain of identity loss while also holding space for the possibility of growth and transformation, even in the midst of grief.
