The Weird Duality of Grief No One Talks About

What do you do when your grief doesn’t look the way you thought it would?

In this episode, Gabri unpacks a rarely discussed emotional paradox: the way grief can make you feel completely numb and, at the same time, too empathetic to function. She shares how losing her mom rewired her ability to process emotion — from not crying at the funeral, to breaking down over things that had nothing to do with her loss.


We talk about:

- What emotional shutdown looks like after deep loss

- How grief can make you hyper-aware of everyone else’s pain

- The guilt of not grieving "correctly"

- Why your emotional responses might surprise you

- And how to start giving yourself grace for the ways grief shows up in your body and brain


This isn’t about finding the silver lining — it’s about naming the weird middle ground of feeling everything and nothing at the same time.

If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t grieving the “right” way, this one’s for you.
