The Unseen Grief We Carry Every Day Ashna Shah | The Human Thread | EP 48

from The Human Thread

Not all grief looks like loss.Some of it is invisible, unvalidated, and carried quietly through the strongest human moments.In this episode of The Human Thread, host Ashna Kalra sits down with psychotherapist Ashna Shah to break down the forms of grief most of us experience but rarely name — from ambiguous loss, where someone is physically present but emotionally absent, to anticipatory grief, where you’re preparing for a painful goodbye.They also explore disenfranchised grief — the losses society doesn’t acknowledge: losing a job, miscarriage, assault, or the loss of identity.This conversation dives into why people tell us to “move on,” and why real healing begins only when we look inward, forgive ourselves, and understand that we carry forward those we’ve loved and lost.In 48th episode of The Human Thread, you’ll learn:• The three overlooked types of grief• Why grief exists even without death• How the body holds unspoken loss• Why self-forgiveness is essential for healing• How to build a life around grief rather than “letting go” New episode drops every Friday on YouTube and major audio streaming platformsFollow usInstagram:   / thehumanthread.podcast  YouTube:    / @jynxclipzi  Facebook:   / thehumanthread
