In this episode of Life With Grief, I’m joined by Psychologist, bestselling author, and globally recognized speaker Dr. Jody Carrington for an honest, raw (and funny!) conversation about grief, loneliness, and the healing power of community. 

Dr. Jody sheds light on a powerful distinction between grief and mourning—two experiences that often get lumped together but play very different roles in our healing. 

She shares several deeply personal losses that have shaped her own understanding of grief, including the death of her best friend, the recent passing of her father after living with vascular dementia, and the emotional complexities of caregiving and legacy at the end of life. She also shares the remarkable story of discovering at age 36 that she had a sister who had been placed for adoption. 

We dig into: 
✨ The difference between grief and mourning 
✨ Why grief can feel more isolating in today’s world 
✨ How loneliness and overwhelm intensify the grief experience 
✨ Why community is essential to healing after loss 
✨ Moving beyond “I’m sorry for your loss” 
✨ How to support someone who is grieving 
✨ The impact of caregiving and end-of-life experiences 
✨ Nervous system regulation and resilience in grief 
✨ Why storytelling keeps our loved ones present 

If you’ve ever felt isolated in your grief, struggled to support someone you love, or wondered why loss can feel so disorienting in today’s world, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone in your grief.
