160. Grieving in Silence? How to Stop Feeling Like a Burden to Others
Manage episode 513444038 series 3557131
In this episode of Mourning Sips and Soul Shifts, we’re exploring one of the most common and tender fears in grief: feeling like a burden.
If you’ve ever kept your pain quiet because you didn’t want to “bother” anyone, this conversation will remind you that your grief is not too much. We’ll chat about the cultural discomfort around grief, why we often suffer in silence, and how to begin releasing guilt when asking for support.
You’ll learn mindset shifts to reframe the belief that you’re a burden, plus practical ways to seek support without shame like choosing safe, compassionate supporters, and using gentle micro-sharing to express your needs.
This episode invites you to open your heart, let loved ones in, and rediscover how authentic connection can deepen through shared vulnerability.
