Sex After Grief: Living with Loss and Staying Open to Life with Norman Buckley

This week’s episode is about grief, loss, and what it means to live with both, something all of us experience, in ways big and small, throughout our lives.I’m joined by Norman Buckley, an acclaimed television director whose work includes Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, The O.C., and Sweet Magnolias. He is also a beautiful writer whose reflections on loss have really stayed with me.Together, we explore a different way of thinking about grief, not as something we move through, but as something that becomes part of us. And within that how we continue to live, to notice, and to stay open to life.We talk about presence, creativity, and what it means to continue showing up, even when life doesn’t look the way we thought it would.This is also a conversation about something many of us struggle with: how hard it can be to talk about loss, how often people change the subject or don’t know what to say, and how that can leave us feeling alone in our experience.Because when we don’t talk about our pain, it tends to stay with us in ways we don’t always realize.And when we allow ourselves to stay in the conversation… something begins to shift.Whether you’re navigating loss right now or simply living a life where loss exists, this conversation is about being present for your life, for the people around you, and for the moments, big and small, that are still here.For more information about Norman Buckley, please visit his website: http://normanbuckley.com/For more information about Sex After, please follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexafterpodcast/ Hosted on Acast.
