In this special Halloween-themed episode of Grief & Grit, Greer and Simonie dive into the idea of the "mask" we wear in grief. Just as people wear costumes to conceal their true identity on Halloween, we often hide our true emotions behind a mask when dealing with grief. The discussion covers the different masks we put on—from the strong, happy, or busy personas to the deep disconnect from our feelings.
The conversation touches on personal stories and explores the toll that masking grief can have on both emotional and physical health. The hosts reflect on the importance of removing these masks, facing emotions head-on, and creating a safe space to heal.
Whether you’re someone who wears your emotions openly or keeps them hidden, this episode encourages listeners to acknowledge and process grief in a way that feels authentic and healing.
Tune in to discover the different masks of grief, how they affect our healing journey, and ways to begin the difficult task of removing them, one layer at a time.
