The Weird Duality of Grief No One Talks About

What do you do when your grief doesn’t look the way you thought it would?In this episode, Gabri unpacks a rarely discussed emotional paradox: the way grief can make you feel completely numb and, at the same time, too empathetic to function. She shares how losing her mom rewired her ability to process emotion — from not crying at the funeral, to breaking down over things that had nothing to do with her loss.We talk about:- What emotional shutdown looks like after deep loss- How grief can make you hyper-aware of everyone else’s pain- The guilt of not grieving "correctly"- Why your emotional responses might surprise you- And how to start giving yourself grace for the ways grief shows up in your body and brainThis isn’t about finding the silver lining — it’s about naming the weird middle ground of feeling everything and nothing at the same time.If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t grieving the “right” way, this one’s for you.💜 Stay ConnectedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod🎥 Listen onApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-mom-died/id1846948974Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JltaAIZnmUdEfeYb0O8M2?si=d514d6b671b74184📬 Join the CommunitySign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events:https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died🕊️ Share Your StoryHave a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?
