Ep. 153 When Grief Comes Back Like a Volcano: The Second Wave
Update: 2025-09-29
Description
In this episode I share my experience of having grief return to me in a sudden, unexpected wave like a long-dormant volcano erupting. This event is the subject of my new book Wild and Holy, which is launching on Kickstarter this week. This episode includes:
- What is the second wave of grief and why does it happen
- How hidden grief may return when we are strong enough to navigate it
- How grief and guilt can be stored in the physical body and somatic therapies may be needed
- How society exerts pressure to move on from grief and adds to shame and guilt over prolonge or recurrent grief
- How to navigate your own second wave of grief
