Summary

For a year I’ve been asked, “What happened to you? What exactly are you grieving about?”

Each time I would reply, “Unfortunately I’m not legally allowed to share right now, but hope to be able to soon.”

Now I’m able to, and as I’ve known I would be all along, I feel terrified.

So we’re starting with that:

The difference between being silent and silenced
The holiness of this season I’m sad to see come to an end even though I never would have chosen it
The trauma responses I’m seeing in myself that I’ve never previously experienced

As is always my hope: may you feel seen in your story, or better understand others as they share theirs.

Links mentioned in this episode:

August 2022 IG post “this summer was hard”
September 2022 IG post “the club of the quietly disappointed”
March 2023 IG post “the longevity of grief”

Share this series and read an exclusive chapter of What Makes Women Feel Beautiful in Part 3 at HilaryRushford.com/BookStory.

Would love to hear your thoughts after on Instagram @HilaryRushford.

If this episode helped you or someone you know, I’d be so grateful if you’d leave a review. They mean so much to creators!
