The Truth About Grief – Myths That Need to Go

This week on The Healing Project Podcast, we’re talking about something that touches all of us eventually — grief — and breaking down some of the most unhelpful (but wildly common) myths that surround it.You’ve probably heard things like: ✨ “There are five stages and you just move through them” ✨ “You should be over it by now” ✨ “Kids don’t really understand grief” ✨ “Being strong means moving on”Here’s the truth: Grief is messy. It’s not linear. It doesn’t follow a timeline. And strength doesn’t mean pretending you're fine.In this episode, we explore:Why the “five stages of grief” model doesn’t reflect most people’s experienceHow children do grieve — just differently than adultsWhat real strength looks like in the middle of heartbreakHow grief can change you, but also grow youWhat it means to survive the “grief storm” and slowly find your way back to yourselfThis episode is a gentle reminder that you’re not broken if you’re still grieving — even years later. There’s no right way to do this. But there is hope. There is life after loss. And there is space for your story, just as it is.💬 "If you're looking for some hope, this one’s for you."☕ Love the podcast? Support us by buying us a coffee!
