    Grief: Finding Strength During Emotional Setbacks | Grief Podcast
    Jul 15 2025
    In this episode, Dylan explores the profound reality that strength in grief looks nothing like what we've been taught. Rather than being about "getting over it" or maintaining composure, true grief strength emerges through vulnerability, presence, and the courage to feel deeply. Through personal stories and research-backed insights, this conversation reveals how emotional setbacks are actually love in disguise, how healing isn't linear, and why authentic grief work requires us to stay soft in a hard world.

    Key Takeaways
    • Emotional setbacks in grief are normal and indicate love, not healing failure
    • True strength means staying present with pain rather than avoiding it
    • Grief doesn't follow a linear path and that's completely normal
    • Vulnerability and authenticity are forms of profound courage in loss
    • Small daily practices can help build resilience over time
    What You'll Discover

    • The difference between "armored strength" and "embodied strength" in grief
    • Real stories from listeners finding their own paths through loss
