<p data-start="0" data-end="258">Grief doesn't just break your heart—it can quietly change how you see yourself. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked connection between grief and self-love, and why losing someone you love can make everyday life feel so much harder than expected.</p> <p data-start="260" data-end="616">When grief enters your life, it can disrupt your sense of identity, trigger guilt and self-blame, and leave you feeling disconnected from the person you used to be. Simple things like getting out of bed, caring for your body, or asking for support can suddenly feel overwhelming. Over time, this can erode self-love and replace it with harsh self-judgment.</p> <p data-start="618" data-end="733">This episode gently unpacks why that happens—and more importantly, why it doesn't mean something is wrong with you.</p> <p data-start="735" data-end="1038">You'll learn how grief affects your nervous system, why your mind may confuse pain with personal failure, and how to begin separating your self-worth from what you're going through. We also share simple, practical ways to rebuild self-love during loss—without forcing positivity or rushing your healing.</p> <p data-start="1040" data-end="1171">If you've ever thought, "Why can't I handle this better?" or felt like you've lost yourself in grief, this conversation is for you.</p> <p data-start="1173" data-end="1314" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Get more support at <a href= "https://griefrefuge.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">griefrefuge.com</a></p>
