    Grief: Finding Strength During Emotional Setbacks | Grief Podcast
    Jul 15 2025
    In this episode, Dylan explores the profound reality that strength in grief looks nothing like what we've been taught. Rather than being about "getting over it" or maintaining composure, true grief strength emerges through vulnerability, presence, and the courage to feel deeply. Through personal stories and research-backed insights, this conversation reveals how emotional setbacks are actually love in disguise, how healing isn't linear, and why authentic grief work requires us to stay soft in a hard world.

    Key Takeaways
    • Emotional setbacks in grief are normal and indicate love, not healing failure
    • True strength means staying present with pain rather than avoiding it
    • Grief doesn't follow a linear path and that's completely normal
    • Vulnerability and authenticity are forms of profound courage in loss
    • Small daily practices can help build resilience over time
    What You'll Discover
    • How neuroscience research explains why grief changes our brain structure
    • The difference between "armored strength" and "embodied strength" in grief
    • Real stories from listeners finding their own paths through loss
    • Practical tools like the five-minute rule and grief inventory technique
    • Why post-traumatic growth can emerge from our darkest moments
    Resources Mentioned
    • Dr. George Bonanno's research on resilient grief at Columbia University
    • Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor's neuroscience work on grief and brain imaging
    • Post-traumatic growth research by Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun
    • Dr. Crystal Park's studies on meaning-making in grief
    • Dr. Sheldon Cohen's social support research at Carnegie Mellon
