When Grief Goes Quiet: Navigating Emotional Numbness

Tavon Gibbs Season 1 Episode 13

In this episode, I explore a stage of grief that rarely gets talked about, which is emotional numbness. What happens when the tears stop, but the pain remains? How do you cope with the guilt of not feeling outwardly sad or not crying for someone you love deeply? I share my personal experience of navigating this phase after losing my mom, 3 years later, and the conflicting feelings of healing, numbness, and internalized sadness. Together, we'll unpack the societal silence around this stage, the weight of guilt in grief, and why missing someone doesn't always look the way we expect. Tune in for an honest conversation about grief's evolution and how to honor your loved ones while learning to live again
