EP.125 - Palak Dadwal - "You Do Not Have To Erase Your Past"
Loss is more than death — it’s the quiet grief of losing a homeland, a friendship, a relationship, trust, emotional safety, or even parts of ourselves we didn’t know we had to say goodbye to.
In this powerful conversation with Palak, a Grief and Loss Recovery Specialist, we explore how "grief is love" and how we can honor all types of loss. Palak reminds us that "no emotion is good or bad" and shares healing tools like guided journaling, helping us to unpack the weight of grief, especially when we don’t have words for it.
We also discuss the power of "collective responsibility" in healing, emphasizing that grief doesn’t have to be an individual burden — it’s something we can share, honor, and heal together.
As Palak says, "All losses are worthy of grief," and "there is no timeline to grief."

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
