Is Grief Holding Me Back? 🤷‍♂️

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thisisgrieftoo.substack.com You know when you’re going through something tough, and someone says, ‘Time heals all wounds’? Yeah… grief doesn’t exactly work that way. If you’ve ever wondered why grief lingers or if you should have ‘moved on’ by now, you’re in good company. So many people think that grief has a timeline, but it doesn’t. One of my subscribers, Dennis, sent in thoughtful questions about grief, and I think they’ll resonate with so many of you. In today’s post, I’m answering: ✅ Does grief ever truly end, or do you just learn to live with it?✅ Should you grieve alone, or does it help to include others?✅ Why do some losses hit harder than others?✅ Can grief really make it hard to function, or is that just in movies? If any of these questions have ever crossed your mind, keep reading. And if you have your own, drop a comment or DM me—I’d love to answer them in a future post. I’m offering The Career Grief Compass: 5-Part Workshop Series—an interactive space to process career grief and regain clarity after professional loss.
