Have you ever thought you were finally getting better... only to be hit by another wave of grief?

One day you're coping. You're laughing again. Life feels like it's slowly finding a new rhythm.

Then, without warning, a song, a birthday, a memory, or sometimes nothing at all brings the grief rushing back.

If you've ever wondered, "Why am I back here?" this episode is for you.

In Episode 67 of The Grief Guardian Podcast, I share my own experience of navigating those unexpected grief waves after the loss of our daughter, Mia. I talk about why healing isn't a straight line, how grief runs on its own timeline, and why those moments don't mean you've gone backwards.

I also share the story of Mia's first birthday, the simple ritual Saroeun and I created to honour her, and the lesson I've learned about making peace with grief rather than trying to outrun it.

If you're grieving, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not failing. You're simply learning to live with a love that hasn't gone away.

💙 In this episode:
• Why grief isn't a linear journey.
• What unexpected grief waves really mean.
• The story of Mia's first birthday.
• Why grief returns when you least expect it.
• How to stop fearing the next wave and start making peace with it.
