EP04: I Moved Countries But Grief Didn't Stay Behind

from Episodes of Life · host Daniel Buckner

I thought moving would fix it… but it doesn’t really work like that.In this episode of Episodes of Life, Daniel talks about what came after everything, leaving home, moving to Australia, and trying to start again.But the truth is, no matter how far you go, you take it with you.He opens up about the reality of that fresh start. The part no one really talks about. Still thinking about Lydia every day. Still carrying the guilt. Still questioning everything even when life starts to look “better” on the outside.This is also where things begin to shift.Daniel shares what it was like letting someone in again, and how hard that actually was. The fear that it could all happen again. The feeling that he didn’t deserve to be happy. And the ways he would push people away without even realizing it.It’s not a clean turning point. It’s messy, uncertain, and honest.But for the first time, it’s not just about escaping anymore; it’s about trying to live with it.In this episode: Moving across the world for a fresh start  Realizing you can’t run from what’s in your head  The fear of loving someone again  Feeling like you don’t deserve to be happy  Learning to slowly let your guard down I still think about her every day.That hasn’t changed.But maybe the way I live with it is starting to.Follow the podcast, join the community, and if you’re ready, share your story.
