Why Grief Feels Harder When Life Moves Forward — Letting Grief and Joy Coexist (Two Years Into My Grief Journey)

from Her Horizon · host Ellie Oliverson

Two years after losing my dad to suicide, I'm sharing what grief actually looks like when life keeps moving, especially the moments that feel beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. I talk about WHY grief can feel heavier when life goes on, the science behind that, and how I've learned to let grief and joy exist in the same space! If you're grieving anything — a person, a relationship, a version of yourself or your life — this is for you!! Moving forward doesn't mean moving on. And you're not crazy for feeling both grateful and heartbroken at the same time.   Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elliekayyyy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elliekayyyy/?hl=en Monthly Newsletter: https://ellieoliverson.substack.com/publish/home
