Working Thru Grief : Denial

from Pretty and Painful · host Bailey Lewis

🎙️ WORKING THROUGH GRIEF: DENIALI used to tell myself my elementary school best friend wasn’t dead.She had simply gone undercover for the FBI.Delusional? Absolutely.But grief doesn’t care about logic.That’s the thing about denial nobody tells you.It’s not always refusing reality.Sometimes it’s your heart buying time.Sometimes it sounds like:“But we just talked.”“I just saw them.”“I just texted them.”As if yesterday should protect us from today.As if loss should have given us more warning.In this episode, we’re talking about the stories we tell ourselves when our hearts aren’t ready for the truth.The pretty.The painful.And the space between what our heads know and what our hearts are still learning.💛 Because sometimes denial is just love struggling to catch up with loss.#PrettyAndPainfulPodcast #WorkingThroughGrief #Denial #GriefJourney #GriefSupport #HealingOutLoud #GriefAndGrace #PodcastLife
