Key Takeaways from This Episode

• Grief is complex: There’s no “right” way to grieve; it’s a deeply personal journey that involves a wide range of emotions.
• The guilt-grief connection: Many of us question whether we did enough, said enough, or were present enough—this is a natural part of the grieving process.
• Practice self-compassion: Give yourself the grace and patience to process your emotions without judgment or self-criticism.
