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.
