107: Are You Holding Onto Grief Because You’re Afraid to Let Go?
Manage episode 483054656 series 3365992
This one might hit a nerve… and I’m okay with that.
In this solo episode, I’m gently (and lovingly) calling out something that I see a lot in my coaching practice — and that I’ve lived through myself. I’m talking about the hidden ways we can hold onto our grief, not because we want to suffer, but because it feels like the only connection we have left to our baby.
Sometimes we say we want healing, but we’re not ready to let go of what’s keeping us stuck. And that’s okay. This isn’t about judgment — it’s about noticing. And once you notice, you can decide what to do next.
I share my own story of staying stuck in grief for years after losing my twins, and how one client’s tearful breakthrough reminded me just how powerful this work can be.
You are not broken. You're not behind. And you're definitely not alone. This episode is an invitation to get real, get honest, and maybe — just maybe — start making space for a little more peace in your life.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why some moms unconsciously cling to grief — and what that really means
- The quiet fear that healing means forgetting your baby
- A real story from a client who thought she couldn’t move forward — and what changed
- How guilt and self-protection keep us stuck in sadness
- Why feeling joy doesn’t mean you’re leaving your baby behind
- What coaching can offer that therapy sometimes doesn’t
