If you’ve ever felt like grief is getting harder as time goes on—not easier—this one is for you. So many grievers reach a point, often around the two, three, or even four year mark, where the fog has lifted, the world has moved on, and they’re left with this quiet, heavy realization: “Whoa… this is my life now.”

And if that’s where you are, I want you to know: you are not broken, you are not doing this wrong, and you are not alone.

In this 5-Minute Grief Talk, I’m breaking down exactly why grief can feel heavier as time goes on, including:

✨ Why the world’s pressure to “be over it” is one of the heaviest things a griever carries

✨ What happens when the numbness and fog finally lift — and why it can feel like a wave you never saw coming

✨ Why the permanence of your person’s absence hits differently over time

✨ Why heavier grief does not mean you’re going backward

✨ What can actually help when you’re in one of these heavy seasons

This is one of the most misunderstood parts of loss, and I don’t want you to spend one more day thinking this is wrong. That said, if you do find yourself needing more support if you feel like you’re having trouble moving forward, remember I have resources to help you linked below!

If you’ve ever felt like grief is getting harder as time goes on—not easier—this one is for you.
