Shut the Front Door Podcast

Grief doesn’t look the way we expect it to. It’s not tidy, it’s not linear, and it doesn’t show up on a schedule. In this episode of Shut the Front Door, we talk about what it actually means to live with loss—how grief sneaks into ordinary moments, changes relationships, and rewrites who we are. We unpack the myths around “moving on,” the pressure to be okay, and the quiet ways grief stays with us long after the casseroles stop coming. This is a conversation for anyone who’s grieving, loving someone who is, or realizing that loss never really leaves—it just learns how to live alongside us.
