In this episode, I respond to a question from an anonymous listener who writes:
“How do I grieve someone who’s still alive? I’m watching a loved one self-destruct and I feel powerless.”
We explore the pain of ambiguous loss — the kind of grief that comes not from death, but from disconnection, decline, or change in someone you love. Inside this episode, we’ll talk about:
- What ambiguous loss is and why it’s so emotionally disorienting
- Why hope and heartbreak can coexist — and create so much inner conflict
- How to name what you're grieving, even without closure
- What it means to love someone without losing yourself in the process
If you're mourning the version of someone you used to know — or the relationship you hoped you’d have — this episode is for you.
