In this episode, Celeste gets personal about the loss of her older brother and what happened in her body after the funeral was planned and the logistics were handled. She opens up about the physical reality of grief — the neck and head tension that hit her the moment she finally slowed down — and why so many of us don't recognize grief in our bodies until it forces us to stop.
Celeste breaks down the somatic response to loss, what's happening neurologically when we go into caretaker/logistics mode during bereavement, and why the "strong one" in the family often grieves last. If you've ever felt like grief hit you out of nowhere — or felt it in your chest, your neck, your sleeplessness before you felt it in your tears — this episode is for you.
Topics covered:
Why grief is delayed when we go into planning/survival mode
How the nervous system stores what we haven't processed
Physical symptoms of grief that often go unrecognized
Tools for somatic release and nervous system support
Why grief ambushes us — and how to work with it instead of against it
