Have you been forgetting things more than usual since your loss? Walking into rooms and blanking. Missing appointments. Re-reading the same sentence five times. Feeling like your brain just isn’t working the way it used to?

You’re not irresponsible. You’re not “losing it.” You’re experiencing something called grief brain, and it’s more common than anyone talks about.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually happening inside your brain when you’re grieving, why the fog and forgetfulness make complete sense, and how to gently support yourself through it.

Here’s what we’re getting into:

✨ What grief brain is and why so many grievers quietly struggle with it
✨ What’s actually happening in your brain and nervous system during loss
✨ The shame that comes with feeling “slower” than you used to be — and the reframe you need
✨ 6 gentle ways to support yourself through the fog
✨ A closing reflection to help you offer yourself a little more grace this week

This episode is for the griever who has been silently criticizing themselves for not keeping up, not remembering, not functioning the way they used to. The one who wonders if something is wrong with them. The one who just needs someone to say: this is normal, and it won’t be like this forever.
