Grief changes us, sometimes in ways we never expected. It can feel like our loss becomes the only story we have, the defining identity we carry everywhere. But grief is just one chapter of who we are. In this episode, we explore the idea that your grief is part of your story, but not all of it, and what it means to make space for the and. You can miss who you love and still grow. You can remember and still move forward. You can carry grief and still become someone new. We’ll talk about identity after loss, how we slowly learn to integrate grief into the whole of who we are, and why honoring both memory and new possibility is not only allowed, but deeply human.
