OTR Grief
Grief doesn't respect your calendar. It shows up in the cereal aisle. In a song you weren't ready for. In the split second before you remember, when you reach for your phone to tell them something — and then the floor drops out all over again. And still, somewhere around month three, the world quietly expects you to be finished. In this episode, Anastasia and Janet sit with the thing most of us have been taught to move past as quickly and quietly as possible. We talk about the grief that gets acknowledged — the funeral, the casseroles, the cards — and the grief that doesn't. The end of a marriage. The parent who is still alive but was never really there. The version of yourself you had to leave behind in order to survive. The future you were counting on that isn't coming. We get into what grief actually does in the body — the heaviness in the chest, the exhaustion that sleep doesn't touch, the way your throat closes over words you can't get out. Why the "stages" were never meant to be a checklist. And why the ambush waves that arrive years later aren't a sign you're going backwards. There is nothing to fix here. Nothing to hurry. Grief is not a problem to be solved. It's love that outlived its landing place. Come sit with us. You don't have to carry it alone today.
