167 | Memos in the Margins: The Parts of Grief We Don’t Talk About

Trigger Warning: This episode contains honest conversation around grief, loss, and navigating a heavy season. If that feels tender or not supportive for you right now, please feel free to skip this one and come back when you’re ready. In this Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a very raw and personal update on where I’ve been over the past five weeks after the unexpected loss of someone incredibly close to our family. You’ll hear what this season has looked like behind the scenes, from dropping everything to be with my best friend and her kids, to navigating the weight and complexity of grief in real time. I’m also opening up about the parts of grief we don’t often talk about and the unexpected emotions that come with grieving alongside someone else. More than anything, my hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone if you’re walking through grief, and more equipped to show up for someone who is. I’m sharing what I’ve witnessed about the power of community and the importance of acknowledging loss instead of rushing past it. This conversation is unfiltered and tender, but it’s also an invitation to hold your people close, to check in more often, and to remember that even in the heaviest moments, you don’t have to carry it alone. Hugs! -KyAnn
