Guilt after loss can be confusing especially when it appears just as life begins to feel slightly lighter.

In this episode of Happya Ever After, Clare Deacon explores the often-unspoken guilt that arises after the death of a partner, particularly when moments of relief, joy, or hope begin to return.

This is the guilt that shows up when you laugh and then feel a pang.
When you enjoy something and immediately question yourself.
When wanting more from life feels like a betrayal of the person you lost.

If you’ve ever wondered whether feeling okay means you’re forgetting, moving on too quickly, or loving them less, this episode is for you.

Clare gently unpacks:

• Why guilt after bereavement is so common
• How guilt can be linked to love, loyalty, and attachment
• Why wanting more from life does not mean leaving your loved one behind
• How guilt can become a nervous system response rather than a moral truth

This episode isn’t about forcing positivity or rushing grief.
It’s about understanding guilt with compassion, reducing self-judgement, and allowing grief and growth to coexist.

There is no right or wrong way to experience guilt after loss.
And you are not doing grief wrong.
