Growth and Remembrance: What to Expect Your Third Year of Grief

Does grief get smaller over time, or do we instead we grow larger around it?

Two years after trauma of the death we typically move into a period of healing and self-correction.  The third year after a death is a time of re-calibrating and rebuilding your body, heart, and brain. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ZshOc5

We previously presented information about grieving and what may be expected during the second year of grief. In this podcast we discuss the third year of grieving the death of a loved one. We bring back Claire Luckey, who has been sharing her journey as a millennial widow who lost her husband to brain cancer 3-1/2 years ago.  Claire talks about the growth she has experienced alongside the fading but recurring pain with remembrances of her husband.

Note that what happens in each year after a death is very individual experience; what we discuss is what may be typically experienced while acknowledging it may not be your experience.
