Three Days to Grieve? That’s Not Grace.
A reflection on grief, presence, ego, and the love we’re rarely given space to feel.
Three days to grieve a lifetime of love?
That’s not grace. That’s deprivation.
In this episode, I explore the emotional and cultural weight of bereavement and why so many of us are never given the time, space, or presence required to truly heal.
Grief isn’t just emotional… it’s relational.
And too often, we are told to move on, return to normal, and “be strong” while carrying a loss that can’t be fixed in three days.
This reflection is for anyone who is navigating grief, presence, or ego death. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a change in identity, or the soft, unseen losses of everyday life, this space honours the depth of what you’re feeling.
This reflection is for you if…
• You’ve ever felt like you had to rush your grief
• You’ve been told to “get over it” or “move on”
• You’re grieving a loss others can’t see or validate
• You’re exploring emotional healing, presence, or ego work
• You’re learning to stop abandoning yourself in hard moments
Grief isn’t a disruption. It’s a doorway.
And when love is present, healing is always within reach.
