Grief is rarely about just one loss. When someone dies, we may also lose routines, identity, security, future plans, and the roles we once held. These are called secondary losses — and they can make grief feel overwhelming and confusing.

In this episode, Nichole Lee join the GRIEF Ladies to explore:

• Why grief feels like more than one loss
• Emotional overwhelm and "energy in motion"
• Identity changes after death
• The idea that loyalty does not require ongoing suffering
• How growth can coexist with pain
• Grief is deeply personal — and it evolves over time.

As always, we close with practical steps you can try this week.

Guest Bio: Nichole Lee guides high-level leaders through moments of deep transition—when grief, identity, and truth collide. After 20 years leading transformation work for Fortune 500 companies, her mother's death in 2018 marked a turning point, giving rise to work that helps others let go of who they've been and step into who they're becoming.
