Session 13: Fallen Warriors- Why Heroic Sacrifice Breaks Our Hearts

Some characters die in battle.Others become the reason people keep fighting.In this Memorial Day episode of Once Upon a Session, we explore the psychology of sacrifice, loyalty, and what it means to be remembered through two fallen warriors: Gavriel from Thrones of Glass and Liam from Fourth Wing.Together, we unpack the emotional weight carried by the protectors, the ones who love quietly, fight fiercely, and often give everything before they ever ask for anything in return.Because grief doesn’t just come from losing someone.Sometimes it comes from finally realizing how much they carried for everyone else.Disclaimer: We’re licensed therapists, but not your therapists.
