What if everything you've been told about grief... isn't quite true?
In this episode of the Early Mourning Coffee Club, we gently unpack one of the biggest myths around loss - the "five stages" - and explore what's actually happening in your brain, your body and your nervous system when someone you love dies.
This is an honest science-backed conversation about love, attachment, survival mode, and most importantly why you are not doing grief wrong.
If your grief feels messy, confusing, or just nothing like the neat linear stages you were promised... then this episode is for you ☕️🖤
