Summary
Grief is not just something you feel at a funeral. Grief is what happens whenever something ends without your permission — and midlife is full of those endings. Most of us were never taught how to grieve them. Unprocessed grief doesn't disappear — it goes into the body as chronic fatigue, weight that won't shift, and a low-grade depletion with no obvious cause. Drawing on insights from The Body Keeps the Score, Courtney explains how emotional losses encode in the body and offers a simple, powerful practice to begin releasing what you've been carrying.
