Bringing up grief in new romantic relationships or at work is never easy. Do you drop it in casually? Wait until it awkwardly comes up? Or, like us, panic and blurt out,"So… my dad’s dead" at the worst possible moment? There’s no guidebook for these conversations, and honestly, we could use one. Instead, we’ve fumbled our way through—accidentally trauma-dumping on colleagues, derailing perfectly nice dates, or mistiming the moment so badly that silence lingersway too long. In this episode, we’re diving into the awkward, ridiculous, and sometimes painfully funny reality of introducing grief to new people. Because if there’s a smooth way to do it, we certainly haven’t found it yet.
