About this listen

Death isn’t just hard because it hurts. It’s hard because it ends things. And humans are spectacularly bad at accepting endings.

In this episode, I talk about why the finality of death messes with our brains and hearts so deeply. We’ll look at the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways we avoid accepting that someone is really gone.

This isn’t about shaming those coping mechanisms. They’re normal. They’re human. And honestly? They often show up before we’re ready to face the truth.
