When Hugo died, people kept assuming I'd be furious at the driver who had meth and alcohol in his system. But the anger just wasn't there - it felt like a tragedy, not a betrayal. The emotions I carried were heavy with sadness and shock, but not the white-hot rage everyone expected.

This time around, with my recent breakup and having to sell the house, I'm experiencing wave after wave of intense anger. Maybe you've been caught off guard by unexpected waves of anger, or perhaps you're wondering why you're not feeling angry when everyone expects you to be.

Join me this week as I share my own real-time experience with anger in grief, and how drastically different it can look from one loss to another. I'll show you how to let these waves of emotion move through without letting them drive your choices, whether your anger comes early, late, or not at all.

Black-and-white thinking shows up everywhere in grief - in the harsh judgments we make about ourselves, in the impossible standards we hold ourselves to, and in the rigid rules we create about how healing should look.

It's that voice that says you're either doing grief "right" or you're failing completely, with no room for the messy middle ground where most of us actually live.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn a more gentle way of thinking about your grief journey. I show you how to break free from black-and-white thinking, and why making space for nuance might be exactly what you need.

Join me this week to discover how to identify when productivity pressure is affecting your grief process, even when you think you're just being realistic. I share specific questions to help you examine your beliefs about rest and worthiness, and most importantly, you'll learn why slowing down isn't failure - it's actually essential for processing grief.
