In this episode, host Liene talks about closure and the misconceptions surrounding it. She explores why we believe we need closure to move on and why that's not necessarily true.

In this podcast episode, Liene addresses the question of how grieving can eventually stop. She explains that while grief never completely goes away, it eventually becomes less dominant in our lives. In the early stages of grief, our brains have to update our mental maps to match our new reality, which takes time and experiences.

How Not To Feel Out Of Control
It's only natural to feel out of control after you lose your child. The reason why you feel out of control isn't that you have less control now than you did before your child died. It's' because you are spending so much energy focused on what you can't' control, and so you lose the ability to see what you can control. You don't have to control everything to feel in control of your life. You just need to know the difference between what you can control and what you cannot and adjust your focus accordingly.
