Death, Grief & Rebuilding
This podcast is for anyone who’s lost someone and thought, “How do I even exist now?”
Death, Grief & Rebuilding is where we talk about the hard, weird, painful parts of grief — and slowly figuring out life again.
You’re not too broken. You’re just human. Let’s talk it out.
Death, Grief & Rebuilding
Guilt in grief
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we are talking about guilt in grief. In this episode, we explore the complicated role guilt plays in grief—how it often masks deeper emotions like sadness or helplessness, and why our brains sometimes choose guilt to feel a sense of control.
We’ll cover:
- The difference between guilt and regret
- Why guilt is a secondary emotion
- How to gently reframe self-blaming thoughts
- Three tools to begin shifting the grip guilt has on your healing
💬 You’ll walk away with more clarity—and more compassion for yourself.
