"You're So Strong"

"You're So Strong" – A Phrase We Love to HateThe phrase "you're so strong" has become a bit of a punching bag in grief spaces — and maybe unfairly so. Many grievers indeed bristle at hearing it. I’ve been on both sides: I’ve said it before I experienced loss, and I’ve heard it after. The discomfort around this phrase is real and valid.But what if we took a step back? What if “you’re so strong” isn’t meant to dismiss your pain or skip past your grief… but instead, is an attempt at offering admiration, respect, or even love? In this episode, I want to explore the complicated layers behind this common phrase — and offer a new way of hearing it that might feel less like a wound and more like a balm.Grief is messy. Words often fall short. But maybe, just maybe, this one doesn’t have to.You're not alone. I'm always here to support and listen.🎶 Listen to my music (Griefy Pop for your heavy heart):https://open.spotify.com/track/6KojoR...📱 Follow along on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/newellamusic📱 Follow along on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@newellamusic
