The Grief of Getting Older

Getting older is a blessing, but it can also carry grief. In this episode of the Permission to Breathe podcast, Dr. Tammy Isaac explores the losses and changes that can accompany aging, including changes in the body, independence, identity, relationships, purpose, and our understanding of time. She also addresses the fear of becoming a burden, the grief of unrealized dreams, and what it means to keep living meaningfully as life changes. This conversation offers permission to honor who you once were, make room for who you are becoming, and recognize that gratitude for life and grief over what has changed can exist together.
