Episode 30 — When Grief Becomes Stuck: How to Know When You Need Help

In this episode, we’re talking about something most people never bring up — what happens when grief stops moving. When the sadness stays heavy, the anger doesn’t settle, or life feels frozen in place.

We look at what “stuck grief” actually is, why it happens, and the signs that your heart might need more support than time alone can offer. If you’ve felt numb, overwhelmed, disconnected, or like nothing is shifting no matter how hard you try, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn what keeps grief locked in place, how it spills into the rest of your life, and the small steps that can help you start moving again — without pressure, shame, or the old “just be strong” mentality.

If you’ve been feeling lost in your grief lately, please know you don’t have to walk it alone. Reaching out is a strength, not a failure.

Episode 29 — Grieving the End of a Marriage: Why You Can’t Rush Healing After Divorce

Divorce isn’t just the end of a relationship — it’s the loss of a version of yourself. The routines, the shared dreams, the imagined future — they all collapse at once.

In this episode, Grant talks about the kind of grief that doesn’t get enough recognition: the pain that follows divorce. It’s a different kind of heartbreak — one where the person is still alive, but everything you built together is gone.

We explore the common urge to “move on faster” and why that mindset often backfires. You’ll hear why grief after divorce can feel so heavy, what keeps people emotionally stuck, and how to begin rebuilding from a place of truth rather than speed.

This episode offers a grounded look at what actually helps — from cutting energetic ties and facing emotions head-on, to rediscovering your identity outside the relationship.

Because real healing doesn’t come from rushing. It comes from slowing down enough to let yourself rebuild — not as who you were, but as who you’re becoming.

🎧 Tune in to The Grief Guardian Podcast for an honest, heartfelt look at divorce grief — and how to stop trying to “get over it” and start actually healing.

🎙️ Episode 28 – Is It Possible to Heal Without Finding a Purpose?
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

We’ve all heard the phrases — “Everything happens for a reason” or “You’ll find purpose in your pain.”
But what if you don’t? What if your healing doesn’t come with a grand purpose or a clear “why”?

In this episode, we explore one of the most honest questions in grief:
👉 Can you truly heal without turning your pain into a mission, project, or cause?

The answer — yes, you can.

You’ll discover:
💭 The difference between healing and finding purpose
💔 Why chasing meaning can sometimes delay peace
⚖️ How cultural pressure makes us feel we need to “do” something with our loss
🌱 Gentle ways to let healing unfold — without forcing it into a narrative
💖 Why love itself can be enough reason to keep going

Healing isn’t about doing — it’s about being. You don’t have to find a purpose to make your grief valid.
You’re not doing it wrong if all you’re doing is surviving. That’s human — and that’s enough.

💬 “You don’t have to earn your healing. You’re allowed to just be.”
