Grief: Holding Loss with Tenderness

Episode 5

Hey friend... welcome back to The Hope Midwife Podcast. I'm Necie Edwards, yourHope Midwife. If your heart is heavy today, I'm really glad you're here.

Let's take a slow breath together. Breathe in... nice and easy... hold it softly... now

breathe out... even slower. Again... in... soft pause... out... longer.

Today's tea is chamomile - soft comfort, a gentle landing.

Tea Disclaimer: For comfort only - not medical advice. Check safety with your provider if needed.

Take a sip... and let your body hear this message: "I don't have to rush."

Grief is more than death

Today we're talking about grief. And grief isn't only about death. Grief can be the loss of your health, your energy, your job, your stability, your identity, your plans, or the version of life you thought you'd have.

Sometimes grief looks like sadness. Sometimes it looks like numbness. Sometimes it shows up as irritation, brain fog, or exhaustion that doesn't make sense.

And none of that means you're broken. It means something mattered.

A myth to release

One of the biggest myths about grief is this: "I should be over it by now."

Friend, grief doesn't follow a schedule. It moves in waves. Some days you'll feel steady.

Some days it hits you out of nowhere - a song, a smell, a date on the calendar, a memory. That doesn't mean you're going backwards. That means you're human.
