Every woman experiences major life changes—becoming a mom, getting married, or taking on a demanding new role. But what about the hidden grief that comes with it? This week, we're talking about non-traditional loss, the kind that leaves you feeling a quiet sadness but gives you no one to mourn with. We explore the painful loss of your 'old self' (the freedom, the spontaneity, the friends) and the silent ache of unmet dreams. We also dive into the unique grief that comes from losing the simple, 'normal' life—whether it's the quiet weekend mornings or the holidays without a care in the world. It's time to validate the grief that is rarely spoken about.
