"No one is actually grading you on your grief."
What if the pressure to be "strong" is keeping you from being honest about what grief actually feels like?
Today's conversation is with Leslie Harter-Berg, author of You're So Strong: On Grief and Letting Go of My Favorite Compliment. After the sudden death of her husband, Ryan, Leslie found herself trying to live up to everyone's expectations of what a grieving person should look like, until she realized there was no right way to carry loss.
If you've ever wondered whether you're grieving "correctly," I hope this conversation offers you permission to let that question go.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why "you're so strong" can become an impossible expectation
- Letting go of the idea that grief follows a predictable timeline
- How grief shows up in ordinary moments instead of dramatic ones
- Redefining strength after profound loss
- Why failure isn't the opposite of healing
- The importance of simply showing up for grieving people
- Food, hospitality, and caring for one another through everyday rituals
- Leslie's collaboration with her sister Natalie and The Modern Proper on supporting grieving families
