The Loss That Lingers: Holding Space for Grief

In this solo episode, podcast host Christina Droumtsekas reflects on the kind of grief that lingers—the kind that reshapes who we are and how we move through the world. She opens up about the recent passing of her grandmother and the end of her marriage, sharing honest stories about how loss can show up in unexpected ways. Christina explores how grief isn’t limited to death—it can also come from losing a friendship, a dream, a role, or a version of ourselves we once held onto. These kinds of losses are often minimized or overlooked, but they can be heavy. Through her reflections, Christina creates space for listeners to refect with their own experiences of grief, giving permission to feel what they need to feel, and to see grief not as a weakness, but as part of being human. Whether you're grieving someone, something, or a path not taken, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone.
