New Year, Same Grief: Why “Starting Fresh” Can Feel Impossible

In this episode, Gabri gets real about why the New Year can feel brutal when you’re grieving, especially when the whole world is screaming “fresh start,” “new goals,” and “new you.” She talks about the pressure to perform healing, the weird loneliness that can hit when everyone’s celebrating, and the quiet fear many people don’t say out loud: “What if I forget them?”


This episode goes deeper than motivation. It’s about surviving the emotional landmines of stepping into a new year after loss, when it can feel like you’re walking further away from the last time you had them. Gabri also shares practical ways to take care of yourself in small, realistic steps (including a simple nightly reflection/journaling practice), because moving forward doesn’t mean moving on.


If you’re entering a new year without your mom, dad, partner, sibling, or best friend, this one is for you.
