197: Why We Avoid Talking About Death and How to Remember Loved Ones We’ve Lost
Manage episode 519977464 series 3637588
Why is it so hard to talk about the people we’ve lost? In this raw and heartfelt chat, Roula and Rosie open up about grief, memory, and the quiet pain that comes with silence.
Rosie reflects on losing both of her parents young and why she still loves hearing stories about them, even if it brings tears. Roula shares how differently she grieved each of her parents and why she feels compelled to keep their memories alive — even when others don’t. Together, they unpack why death is still such a taboo topic, how grief never really ends, and why a simple “thinking of you” message can mean the world.
This one’s tender, real, and full of truth — the kind of conversation most of us need, but rarely have.
Are you someone who finds comfort in talking about loved ones who’ve passed, or do you prefer to keep those memories private?
