E63: Life Will Never Be "Back to Normal" After Loss. How to Feel Grounded When the World No Longer Feels Safe
There's no such thing as getting “back to normal” after loss, and the world may never feel fully safe again. In this episode, I'm unpacking why grounding in grief isn't about making the world predictable again. It's about learning to trust yourself as the one steady, constant presence in your own life, no matter what keeps shifting around you.
You'll learn:
Why loss permanently changes your worldview—and why you’re not crazy for grieving an old version of “life before”
Why "getting back to normal" is never a realistic goal for grievers
Why the world was never as safe as you believed it to be, and what that means now
How to locate safety and stability within yourself instead of the world around you
Simple ways to start practicing grounding, even when everything else feels unpredictable
