🎙️ Episode 8 – The Different Types of Grief: Absent Grief
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

What happens when grief doesn’t show up?

In this episode, we’re exploring Absent Grief—a hidden and often misunderstood type of grief where there are no obvious signs of mourning. It can look like “coping well,” but deep down, something important might be missing: emotional processing.

Whether you’re feeling emotionally numb, haven’t shed a tear, or you’re wondering why grief hasn’t hit you yet—this episode is for you.

You’ll discover:
🧊 What Absent Grief is (and why it’s so often missed)
🧠 The subtle signs and symptoms to look for
🧱 Common causes—from shock to cultural pressure to emotional shutdown
💥 The long-term impacts of unprocessed grief on body, mind, and relationships
🧘‍♂️ Practical steps to gently reconnect with your emotions and begin healing
🛠️ How to support yourself or others who seem “fine” after a major loss

💬 “Grief doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like silence, numbness, or distraction. But it’s still grief.”

If you’ve ever thought, “Why am I not grieving like everyone else?”—you’re not broken. You're just human. And it’s okay to meet your grief in your own time.
