In this episode we break down what it means to grieve the living. The slow loss of people who are still here, the relationships that change without warning, and the version of someone you have to learn to let go of while they’re still alive. We talk about why this kind of grief feels different, why it’s so hard to explain, and what it looks like to move forward.
