Why Women's Grief Gets a Time Limit | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A NoteSadness isn't one of the seven deadly sins, so why does it get its own chapter in On Our Best Behavior? Because the same culture that turned human impulses into moral failures has spent centuries teaching us that grief is an inconvenience. That there's a timeline for falling apart, and you're already past it.This week, we're exploring what it actually costs us to rush through grief — our own and everyone else's. From the losses that come with casseroles to the ones nobody names, this conversation makes space for sadness of every size and depth.We also talk about why women so often end up metabolizing the feelings of everyone around them, what ambiguous loss actually is, and why grief isn't something you move on from — it's something you move forward with.Your sadness is not a character defect. It's proof that something mattered.Book mentioned: On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loehnen.
