EP206 - The Grief That Returns in Unexpected Moments

Grief doesn’t always arrive on anniversaries or in expected moments. Sometimes it appears suddenly—a song, a scent, a memory, or an ordinary moment that unexpectedly brings tears to our eyes years after loss. In this episode, Tim reflects on what a member of his bereavement group once called “grief bombs”—those emotional ambush moments that can instantly reconnect us to the people we miss most. With honesty and compassion, Tim explores why these moments continue along the long road of grief and why they are not signs of moving backward, but reminders of the love and connection that still live within us. Whether your loss is recent or many years behind you, this episode offers reassurance that grief’s unexpected returns are part of learning how to carry love forward.
