Let's Talk The Grief We Don't Talk About

When you hear the word grief, what comes to mind? For many of us, grief is associated with death—but what if it's so much more than that? In this episode of Hey Fave!, we're having an honest conversation about the different forms of grief that often go unnoticed. We discuss grieving relationships with people who are still alive, processing life's disappointments, and mourning the version of yourself you thought you'd become. Inspired by a thought from comedian Tacarra Williams, we explore whether millennials were sold an outdated blueprint for success. What happens when you do everything "right"—go to school, work hard, follow the rules—and life still doesn't look the way you imagined? Has social media made it even harder to let go of the life you thought you'd have? We also talk about whether grief has a timeline, if there's a "right" way to grieve, and how it's possible to hold both grief and joy at the same time. Most importantly, we end with hope—reflecting on how some of life's greatest blessings can come from seasons we never would've chosen. 🎧 Join us for a heartfelt conversation about healing, expectations, and finding beauty beyond Plan A. _____________________________________________ Chapters 0:00 Intro 36:04 Random Question: 8:17 What comes to mind when you hear the word "grief"? 9:49 Have you ever realized that you were grieving something long after it happened? 21:02 Do you think there's a right way to grieve? 23:02 Have you ever judged someone else's grieving process? 24:50 Can you grieve and still experience joy? 29:16 Can you mourn someone who is still here? 30:23 Faith Over Logic Commercial 31:20 Commercial Ends 34:02 Millenial women are quietly grieving the life they thought they'd have (post) 46:38 What rules did you follow that didn't produce the result you wanted? 1:00:09 Is adjusting your expectations giving up or growing? 1:01:23 Do you ever grieve a version of yourself that you used to be? 1:12:04 Business Spotlight 1:16:01 End ____________________________________________________ Business Spotlight: Blues Mortuary Inc.
