🎙️ Episode 17 – Grief & PTSD
The Grief Guardian Podcast with Grant Cosgrove

Grief doesn’t just break your heart—it can rewire your brain.
Today, we’re talking about PTSD and grief—not the textbook version, but the raw, personal, lived version that can come from losing someone you love, especially a child.

I never thought PTSD applied to me… until it showed up in the darkest chapter of my life.

In this episode, I open up about:
💔 The moment my life split in two—seeing my daughter, Mia, for the last time
🧩 How trauma stacked on trauma—my wife fighting for her life, and a coroner’s report that made everything worse
🚪 Why even a broken door became a daily trigger that pulled me back into pain
⚡ What PTSD really looks like when grief is the cause—not just for soldiers, but for anyone who’s been shattered by loss
🛠️ The coping strategies that help me manage flashbacks and triggers (and why awareness is key)

💬 “You’re not broken. You’re not crazy. And you’re not alone. PTSD after loss is brutal, but there are ways to live with it—one breath at a time.”
