🎙️ Episode 11 – The Different Types of Grief: Exaggerated Grief
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

When grief doesn’t ease over time—but instead intensifies and starts to take over your life—you may be dealing with more than “just grief.”

In this episode, we dive into Exaggerated Grief—a powerful and sometimes paralyzing form of grief that leads to overwhelming anxiety, deep depression, and destructive behaviours. It’s not about being “too emotional”—it’s about being emotionally flooded in a way that makes day-to-day life feel impossible.

If you're stuck in a cycle of fear, guilt, sadness, or hopelessness, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:
⚠️ What Exaggerated Grief is and how to spot it
🧠 The mental and emotional signs that go beyond “normal” mourning
🔁 Common causes—from trauma and sudden loss to unresolved pain
💥 How this type of grief can hijack your physical and social wellbeing
🛠️ Proven coping strategies to begin calming the storm

💬 “Grief is a storm—but even storms pass when we find safe shelter, support, and the strength to weather them.”

You are not broken. You’re in pain. And healing is possible.
