What happens when grief returns years later and knocks the breath out of you all over again? In this episode, Sarah Peterson, LCSW opens up about the deep waves of grief she faced nearly 10 years after losing her child and her dad within just a few months. With honesty and care, she shares why grief is not something we “finish,” but something we keep practicing as life changes. This season expands the conversation beyond death loss to include divorce grief, illness grief, mental health grief, and other painful life changes. Sarah also introduces the new video format, the mission of Clear Morning, and the heart behind this podcast: real stories, practical support, and a reminder that no one has to grieve alone.
