Episode notes
Cultural Suppression Shapes Grief
- Cultural upbringing can suppress emotional literacy and delay grief processing into adulthood.
- Learning to feel later increases emotional depth but also intensifies pain from loss.
Develop Emotional Literacy Proactively
- Do cultivate emotional literacy early so grief and joy are both felt fully and less overwhelming later.
- Do seek help to build emotional skills if upbringing suppressed expression.
Support Grief By Listening First
- Avoid platitudes when supporting someone grieving; listen and follow their needs instead of offering cheer-up lines.
- Ask what the person wants: space, presence, specific words, or silence.
