About this listen

Grief doesn’t just change us—it changes our relationships. Some people step in closer, surprising us with their love and consistency. Others fade away, leaving us with questions, confusion, and sometimes an ache that feels just as heavy as the loss itself.


In this episode of Embrace and Evolve with Cassie, we explore what happens when grief shifts friendships and family connections. Cassie shares the sting of unmet expectations, the grief of emotional abandonment, and the surprising blessings of unexpected support.


Today’s Reflection Prompt:

“Who showed up for me in a way that mattered—and who didn’t? What boundary or grace do I need to give myself in response?”


Today’s Affirmation:

“I release what no longer serves my healing. I welcome support that nourishes my soul.”
