Ep. 29 You’re Not the Same — and You’re Not Supposed to Be

Grief doesn’t just hurt – it changes who we are.In this episode, Nathan names an experience most grievers have, but very few expect — after loss, you may not recognize yourself. Your values and priorities shift.Your capacity changes.Your motivation gets weird.Your sense of belonging rearranges.And on top of everything else, our culture pressures us to “get back to normal” – as if we’re supposed to return to who we were before. (And, of course, we may long for that too…)But we’re *not* the same after loss, and we’re not *supposed* to be.This is a conversation about where grieving becomes identity shift – without pathologizing normal experience – and about how to live forward without betraying our love, who we were with them, or the person we’re becoming.You can download your free grief journal ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Send your Grief Confessional ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.And contribute to the show ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.
