Your heart is.\u201d In this episode of Grieve That Sh!t, Sharon Brubaker, grief specialist and founder of The Grief School, breaks down why so many grievers stay stuck in pain for years\u2026 even while trying everything they can to survive it. After losing her nephew Austin, Sharon realized the problem wasn\u2019t that grievers were weak. The problem was that nobody taught us how to grieve. So we stay busy. We avoid the pain. We push it down. And we keep trying to \u201cget over\u201d something our body is still trying to process. In this episode, Sharon explains the real work of grief. Not just talking about it. Not pretending you\u2019re okay. But understanding what grief actually is, why your body reacts the way it does, and what it means to truly process pain instead of carrying it forever. She also talks about \u201ccompletion\u201d, the unfinished conversations, emotions, and words that stay trapped inside the body after loss. The things you still need to say. The anger. The guilt. The love. The goodbye you never got. Because undelivered emotions do not disappear. This conversation is not about \u201cmoving on.\u201d It\u2019s about finally understanding what grief is trying to do inside you\u2026 so you can stop fighting yourself.
