Grief, Healing & Hope: Building Grief Literacy

In this episode of Emotionally Unavailable, host Malisa Hepner sits down with Dr. Heather Taylor to explore the many layers of grief and why becoming "grief literate" can change the way we navigate loss. Together, they discuss how grief impacts the mind, body, and relationships, share personal experiences with loss, and offer practical tools for supporting yourself and others through difficult seasons. Whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, or another life transition, this conversation offers compassion, validation, and actionable guidance for moving forward without leaving your grief behind.

Grief isn't something to fix or rush through—it's something to understand. Building grief literacy helps us recognize our own experiences, support others more effectively, and create space for healing without judgment.
