The Grief Progress Myth: Why It’s Normal to Feel Stuck After Losing a Child

Grief doesn’t move in straight lines.
It loops. It spirals. It pauses when you least expect it—and flares up just when you think you’ve found your footing.

In today’s episode, we’re unraveling the myth of “progress” after child loss—and why feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

You’ll hear:

• Why emotional “setbacks” are a normal part of grief

• What the world tells you about healing—and how it quietly adds shame

• How to know if you’re actually moving forward, even when it doesn’t feel like it

• A powerful story from Linda, Brandon’s mom, who walked through The Grief Roadmap and discovered she wasn’t broken—she was grieving

Whether you're in your first year or your tenth, this episode will help you breathe a little deeper and remember: You’re not behind. You’re human.
