In this episode, Skylar opens up about the quiet assumptions people make about grievers, and why those assumptions often miss the mark. After losing her brother Sam, some people held back from sharing their own struggles, believing nothing could compare to her loss. Others saw her as fragile or defined entirely by her grief. Skylar shares her personal experience navigating these perceptions and offers honest insight into what grieving people really wish others understood. Whether you’re grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation is for you.
