Lesson Overview

27.01 – What Is Grief and Why Does It Hurt So Deeply?: Grief is the emotional earthquake that follows when someone or something we love is gone, shaking the ground beneath what we thought was stable. It hurts so deeply because love creates invisible bonds that don’t vanish when life changes or ends. The pain you feel is a reflection of how much someone mattered, not a sign of weakness. When your mind struggles to understand loss, your heart feels the weight of missing what used to be normal. You might replay moments, wish for one more conversation, or feel angry that time keeps moving forward. Grief isn’t just sadness—it’s confusion, exhaustion, and sometimes numbness. It affects sleep, focus, appetite, and even how safe the world feels. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to live beside the ache. Every tear you shed honors a memory, and every breath forward is a quiet act of courage. Grief hurts because love runs deep, and learning to carry both is what helps you grow stronger.
