Not All Grief Comes From Death: The Losses That Change Us | The Inheritance Podcast

What if some of the heaviest grief we carry… comes from things that are still alive? In this episode of The Inheritance Podcast, Cicily sits down with Bryn Valencia and Rebekah LaRobardiere for a powerful conversation about “grief that is alive” — the grief tied to relationships, unmet expectations, dead dreams, identity shifts, disappointment, change, and the versions of ourselves we’ve had to let go of along the way. Bryn, founder of Shaken & Stirred Faith and Aquaterra Water Cremation, brings a unique perspective from working so closely with grief, death, healing, and people navigating some of life’s hardest moments every single day. Rebekah, a Somatic & Relationship Coach, breaks down how grief, stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm don’t just live in the mind — they live in the nervous system and the body. Together, we unpack why people hold onto familiar pain, how unresolved grief surfaces physically and emotionally, and what it actually looks like to process loss in a healthy way. This conversation is for anyone who has: • outgrown a version of themselves • struggled to let go • experienced disappointment or unmet expectations • lost hope in something they deeply wanted • felt emotionally stuck in a season they can’t fully explain There is so much wisdom, honesty, and validation in this episode, and we truly believe it has the potential to help people feel seen in places they may not even have language for yet.
