Description

In this episode, we explore how men and women experience grief — and how societal expectations shape, suppress, or validate those emotions. From stereotypes around emotional expression to support-seeking behavior, traditional gender roles often dictate how people are "allowed" to grieve.We’ll discuss:-Why men are expected to “stay strong” while women are allowed to cry-How cultural norms shape the healing process-The mental health risks of emotional suppression in grief-How both genders can benefit from breaking these expectationsWe also share personal stories and offer insights into what healing can look like when people are allowed to grieve on their own terms — without shame, pressure, or gender roles.
