The Moment Grief Hits You All Over Again

You can be healing…
and still get blindsided by grief years later.

Sometimes it’s a wedding, a graduation, or a major life moment that suddenly reminds you of who isn’t there — and the wave of grief catches you completely off guard.

In this chat, we talk about how grief can resurface unexpectedly, why healing doesn’t mean forgetting, and how unresolved grief can sometimes show up physically through anxiety, exhaustion, irritability, headaches, or other symptoms.

Because grief doesn’t always disappear.
Sometimes it waits quietly beneath the surface until something meaningful brings it back into view.

Grief Can Make You Feel Alone In A Room Full Of People

Have You Ever Looked Around and Thought,
“Everyone Else Seems Fine?”

Grief can make you feel completely out of step with the rest of the world.

People are making plans.
Laughing.
Talking about vacations, dinners, work, and everyday life.

And meanwhile,
you’re sitting there trying to get through the day without falling apart inside.

Sometimes you can even be surrounded by people
and still feel completely alone.

It's not because people don’t care.
But because grief changes you.

It changes what matters.
What you have energy for.
What you can tolerate.
Even how you see the world.

And one of the hardest parts is that grief is often invisible.

People may have no idea how much effort it takes
just to show up.

Have you ever felt disconnected from people around you since your loss?

This is one of the reasons Lisa and I created The Grief Gurus.

Because women in grief need spaces where they don't have to explain why it still hurts

Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.

Does it really matter whether the second year of grief is “worse” than the first?

Maybe the more important questions are:
What support do you have?
How are you caring for yourself?
How are you learning to live alongside grief in a meaningful way?

In this final video of the series, we talk about why grief isn’t a finish line, why predictions about “year two” can create unnecessary fear, and why every grief journey is deeply personal.

The second year may feel harder.
It may feel softer.
It may simply feel different.

But it does not have to become a story you fear before you even arrive there.

Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.

“The second year is worse.”

For many grieving people, hearing that can feel incredibly discouraging — especially when you’re already struggling through all the painful “firsts.”

In this video, we explore a more nuanced truth: maybe the second year isn’t always worse… maybe the reality of the loss is simply settling in differently.

The shock begins to fade.
Life slowly keeps moving.
And the absence can feel quieter, deeper, and more real.

Grief doesn’t follow one timeline, and your experience doesn’t have to match anyone else’s.

Grief Doesn't Follow a Schedule

By now, many of the ‘big’ dates have passed.
Mother’s Day
Anniversaires
Milestones.

And for those around you
It can look like things should be settling.

But grief, unfortunately, doesn’t follow a schedule.

Just because you’ve got through all the ‘firsts’…
Or even ‘seconds’...
Doesn't mean it has gone.

And this can be hard.
You may still want to talk about your person.
Still have difficult days.

But people around you think you’re good to go.
Back to ‘normal’.

And you know you’re not.

That ‘normal’ will never be the same,
And that grief is not done with you yet.

If you’re feeling that,
You’re not alone.

We’ve been having conversations like this inside The Grief Gurus this month.
It’s a space where you can talk about your person,
Be heard.
And not feel like you should be ‘over it’ by now.

Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.

When you’re in the first year of grief, you’re often just trying to get through the day.

That’s why hearing things like “the second year is harder” can feel so discouraging and overwhelming.

In this video, we talk about why grief doesn’t follow one universal timeline — and why it’s more helpful to stay present with your own experience instead of fearing what’s ahead.

If Possible, Get Support Before the Loss Happens 🆘

Anticipatory grief can bring exhaustion, fear, uncertainty, and loneliness long before a loss actually happens.

❤️‍🩹 Many people carry thoughts like I’m so tired, I’m scared, or I don’t know what life will look like next—but don’t always feel they have a safe place to say them out loud.

Friends and family may care deeply, but they may also be dealing with their own emotions. You don’t have to wait until after the loss to seek support.

Does Anticipatory Grief Change Based on Who You May Lose?

It's Possible. 🫶
Anticipatory grief can feel very different depending on the relationship.

The emotions connected to a partner may not feel the same as those connected to a parent, sibling, child, or close friend.

🌈 Our history, attachment, responsibilities, hopes, and fears can all shape how grief shows up before a loss has even happened. Each relationship carries its own meaning, and each person’s emotional response is valid.

You May Feel Grief Before Someone Dies ❤️‍🩹

Anticipatory grief is the grief that can arise before a loved one dies—often during illness, decline, or uncertainty. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
