grieving the childhood you never had

What happens to us when we’re forced to grow up too soon? In this episode, we dive into the grief of a lost childhood with Abby, who was parentified from a young age. Together, we unpack the concept of ambiguous grief—the longing for a childhood that never truly existed and the weight of adult responsibilities shouldered too early. We explore how this hidden trauma follows us into adulthood, shaping our relationships, our sense of self, and the way we cope with life's pressures. Join us as we confront the loss of innocence, grieve the childhood we never had, and seek healing from the impact of being forced to grow up before we were ready. *************************************************************** Find Madison 🖤 Main Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Maadthreads Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maadthreads/ https://www.instagram.com/andalsopod/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7u5WJfJE4f8ZxWKalFdbe2?si=df09bef0a013449b Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/and-also/id1719653908 Email Inquiries: [email protected] ***************************************************************** Find Brittany Demarco-Furman 🤍 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buriedinconversation/ Glenville Funeral Home: https://www.glenvillefuneralhome.com ***************************************************************** CONNECT WITH SHEA OF ROOTED WITHIN: IG: https://www.instagram.com/rootedwithshea/ Website: https://www.rootedwithshea.com ***************************************************************** Resources: If you are struggling with suicide loss or ideation, visit https://samaritansnyc.org/coping-with-suicide-loss/ For more information about Schizophrenia and ways you can get involved/donate: https://sczaction.org Diagnosed with Schizophrenia & not sure what to do next?: https://sczaction.org/diagnosed-person-resources/
