What if it’s grief? Most of us think grief begins after a death. Dr. Ken Druck says that’s one of the biggest misconceptions we have. We grieve the retirement we imagined, the marriage that’s changed, our aging bodies, a spouse living with dementia, or the loss of certainty in a rapidly changing world. We just don’t have a name for it. In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Druck shares how the death of his 21-year-old daughter transformed his life’s work and why learning to recognize our \"living losses\" can change everything.  Together, we explore caregiver guilt, self-compassion, the courage to tell ourselves the truth, and why healing isn’t about “getting over it”. It’s about discovering how to keep living, loving, and finding joy—even when life will never be the same.
