Grief (Part II) / Music Triggers & Healing Over Time When the World Won’t Stop | #085

Louie opens up about how music can unexpectedly trigger waves of grief — and reflects on the strangely beautiful reality that the world keeps moving after someone dies. Michael shares how his own experience of loss has shifted over time, revealing how grief evolves and reshapes our sense of self. Together, they explore the many forms grief can take — from deep sorrow to unexpected moments of connection and hope — and how it intersects with our mental health. Whether you're grieving a loved one, a relationship, or a version of yourself, this conversation offers comfort, perspective, and a reminder that you're not alone.<br /><br />Support the pod:<br /><a href="http://patreon.com/secondhandtherapypod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://patreon.com/secondhandtherapypod</a><br /><a href="http://secondhandtherapypod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://secondhandtherapypod.com</a><br /><br />Follow us here: <br /><a href="http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://instagram.com/secondhandtherapypod</a><br /><a href="http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://tiktok.com/@secondhandtherapypod</a><br /><a href="http://instagram.com/itsloubear" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://instagram.com/itsloubear</a><br /><a href="http://instagram.com/malonecomedy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://instagram.com/malonecomedy</a><br /><br />Contact us:<br /><a href="https://gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">secondhandtherapypod@gmail.com</a><br /><a href="https://tel:818" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">818-850-2448</a>
