Being told “You’re so strong” is often meant as a compliment—but in grief, it can feel isolating, dismissive, or like you might be grieving "too well"
In this episode, we explore why this common phrase doesn’t always land the way it’s intended, and what people who are grieving may actually need instead. We talk about the importance of feeling seen, supported, and discuss ways to respond.
Sharing practical conversations about grief, coping, and living with loss, Carol and Lisa from Grief Gurus share insights and tools to help you build a healthier relationship with grief and difficult emotions.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in your grief—or want to better support someone who is—this conversation offers a more compassionate perspective.
