🎙️ Episode 28 – Is It Possible to Heal Without Finding a Purpose?
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

We’ve all heard the phrases — “Everything happens for a reason” or “You’ll find purpose in your pain.”
But what if you don’t? What if your healing doesn’t come with a grand purpose or a clear “why”?

In this episode, we explore one of the most honest questions in grief:
👉 Can you truly heal without turning your pain into a mission, project, or cause?

The answer — yes, you can.

You’ll discover:
💭 The difference between healing and finding purpose
💔 Why chasing meaning can sometimes delay peace
⚖️ How cultural pressure makes us feel we need to “do” something with our loss
🌱 Gentle ways to let healing unfold — without forcing it into a narrative
💖 Why love itself can be enough reason to keep going

Healing isn’t about doing — it’s about being. You don’t have to find a purpose to make your grief valid.
You’re not doing it wrong if all you’re doing is surviving. That’s human — and that’s enough.

💬 “You don’t have to earn your healing. You’re allowed to just be.”

Episode 27 – How to Support Someone Who’s Grieving: What to Say & Why It Matters

We’ve all been there — wanting to comfort someone who’s grieving, but not knowing what to say. You want to help, but your mind goes blank, and out comes the classic: “Let me know if you need anything.”

In this episode of The Grief Guardian Podcast, we’re talking about how to truly support someone who’s grieving — what to say, what not to say, and why simply showing up means more than you realise.

Grief isn’t a problem to fix — it’s an experience to be witnessed. Your presence, honesty, and willingness to stay through the discomfort can be a lifeline for someone trying to survive the unimaginable.

We’ll cover:
💬 The do’s and don’ts of what to say to someone grieving
💔 Why people often disappear after the funeral — and how to do better
🤝 How to support someone without trying to “fix” their pain
🕯️ Simple ways to show up with compassion, even when you feel awkward

If someone you care about is grieving, this episode will help you understand how to be there for them in a way that truly matters.

If you’re the one grieving, feel free to share this episode with your circle — sometimes, people just need a little guidance on how to help.

Episode 26 – Finding Meaning Through Someone’s Passing

When someone we love passes away, it can feel like our entire world collapses. I know that’s how it felt when I lost my daughter, Mia. The question that follows — “Why?” — rarely has an answer that satisfies the heart.

In this episode of The Grief Guardian Podcast, we explore what it means to find meaning through loss — not to explain it away, but to honour our loved ones in a way that gives our own lives new direction.

Finding meaning isn’t about pretending everything is okay. It’s about recognising how the loss has changed you, deepened you, and awakened a greater sense of purpose.

We’ll talk about:
🌿 How grief can shift your values and priorities
💫 What “healing with grief” truly means
🔥 Ways to honour your loved one through purpose, compassion, and legacy

Meaning doesn’t erase the pain — it transforms it into something that helps you live more fully.
