Grief is the New Normal: Episode #3 Unraveling the Stages of Grief

Grief is the New Normal

In this episode of 'Grief is the New Normal,' Dr. Heather Taylor dives deep into the stages of grief and explores various types of loss. She addresses common misconceptions about the five stages of grief, emphasizing that grief does not follow a linear pattern and can be unpredictable and unique to each individual. Dr. Taylor also introduces the concept of secondary losses and discusses how the stages of grief provide frameworks for finding meaning and coping strategies. She underscores the importance of understanding grief as a deeply personal experience, advocating for self-compassion and community support. This episode is part three of a four-part series on grief, and listeners working through grief or supporting someone who is are encouraged to engage with the previous episodes for full context.

I'm Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed psychologist in Washington state. I've been practicing grief therapy since 2012 and am passionate about changing the narrative of grief in our current cultural climate. Grief is a universal lived experience and as such needs to be something we talk about without the taboo attached. I hope you'll join me as we work to adjust to the new normal we are living in and support one another in that process.
