4. Grief Doesn’t Follow Rules: How Adults and Children Can Work Through Loss

In this episode of How to Human, Behaviour Strategist Vishakha Abbi shares personal reflections on navigating grief after losing her aunt, Elizabeth Bhutani — and why grief rarely looks the way we expect it to.

We explore the behavioural impact of grief in adults and children, why the brain often resists emotional pain, and how to support yourself (or someone else) even when you don’t fully understand what’s happening.

You’ll learn: – Why traditional “stages” of grief often don’t match real life – How grief shows up in day-to-day behaviour, memory, and focus – What children need from adults during a loss (hint: it’s not perfection) – Practical tools for working through grief gently, without rushing the process – Ways to stay connected to someone who’s died without staying stuck in pain

This is a quiet, reflective episode for anyone going through it — or walking alongside someone who is.
