The Grief You Don't Know You're Carrying — with Claire Bidwell Smith

from Emotional Longevity · host Elisha Goldstein

What if some of the anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, or emotional heaviness you're carrying is actually grief? In this episode of the Emotional Longevity Podcast, Dr. Elisha Goldstein sits down with renowned grief therapist and bestselling author Claire Bidwell Smith to explore the many forms grief can take—and why so many people don't recognize they're grieving until it begins affecting every area of their lives. Claire shares insights from decades of personal and professional experience helping people navigate loss. Together they explore anticipatory grief, caregiving, anxiety, non-death grief, generational grief, and what it means to grieve consciously rather than pushing pain away. This conversation offers a compassionate roadmap for anyone moving through loss—or supporting someone who is.
