Mourning the Person I Was: Chronic Illness and Ambiguous Loss

In this episode, I’m talking about ambiguous loss and the private grief of missing the person I was before chronic illness changed my body. An old pair of shoes, a photograph, or even a heavy kitchen tool can bring that earlier life rushing back. I explore how illness has changed my independence, work, relationships, and identity, and why accepting my current body doesn’t require me to erase who I used to be, deny what I’ve lost, or pretend I’m grateful for every change.This podcast is narrated using an AI voice.
