2 | Social Media and Grief - The Power (and Pitfalls) of Sharing Your Loss Online

Grief is hard enough on its own—but add social media into the mix, and it gets even more complicated. Should you share your loss online? What if people say the wrong thing? And how do you handle the pressure to grieve a certain way in front of an audience?

In this episode of Loud About Loss, we’re diving into the messy, awkward, and sometimes surprisingly beautiful ways social media intersects with grief.

We’ll talk about:

☀️The pros and cons of sharing your grief online

☀️How social media can actually help with healing (when used well)

☀️The dreaded awkward comments and how to handle them

☀️Setting boundaries to protect your heart while staying connected

☀️Finding real support in an often surface-level digital world

Whether you’ve posted about your loss or kept it private, this episode is here to remind you: there’s no “right” way to grieve—online or offline.
