Summary

It's normal to feel like grief made you stop caring. But what if it made you care more about everything instead? In this episode, Gabri explores the tension between grief awareness and grief anxiety, what the salience network in your brain actually does after experiencing death, and why oversensitivity after loss is not grief done wrong. Whether you are navigating the loss of a parent or wondering why ordinary moments suddenly feel unbearable, this episode offers language for what you are feeling. Share in the comments: what is one ordinary moment that hits differently now that your person is gone? 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 🩵 Join The Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?
