After Year One: The Firsts Hurt, But the Seconds Might Be Worst

The first year after loss is full of heartbreak, but it’s also full of support. People check in. They remember. They hold space for your pain.

But what happens after that first anniversary passes? When the texts slow down, the world moves on, and you’re left facing birthdays, holidays, and milestones without them - quietly, and often alone.

In this episode, Skylar talks about the surprising reality of year two and beyond: how grief doesn’t get easier, just lonelier. If you've ever felt forgotten in your grief or wondered why the second year can feel even harder than the first, this one's for you.
