À propos de cet audio
In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked concept of anticipatory grief—that wave of emotion experienced when we sense a loss before it actually happens. Building on the previous discussion of toxic positivity, we unpack the confusion and shame that can surface when we feel dread about a likely life change—be it a health crisis, the end of a relationship, or a loved one’s impending transition.
We explore how anticipatory grief can fuel anxiety, stifle communication, and compound other unresolved losses. By naming these hidden emotions, we open up space for acceptance, self-compassion, and the opportunity to break free from limiting beliefs around how “positive” we must always be.
This episode normalizes the conflicting thoughts and feelings that arise in those liminal spaces between “now” and “what’s next,” reminding us that self-awareness and self-care are vital tools for processing grief in all its forms. Tune in to find hope, healing, and a renewed sense of empathy for both yourself and those around you.
