My Sister's Boo'd Up and I'm Grieving Alone #HMAY Ep. 249
Episode description
What do you do when the glue of your family is gone—and everything starts to come undone? 🕊💔
In this episode, we hear from a listener grieving the loss of her mother… while also navigating a painful shift in her relationship with her sister.
They’ve survived so much together—abusive relationships, single motherhood, and even the loss of their fiancés just weeks apart. But now, in the wake of their mother’s death, grief is exposing the cracks: an imbalance in caregiving, a new boyfriend causing tension, and a fear that their bond may not survive this chapter.
Yvette and Glen hold space—and offer clarity.
We talk:
- What is codependency—and does it apply here?
- When you’re the “strong one” and it’s quietly breaking you
- The hard (but freeing) truth about defining relationships with family
- How grief can also be an identity reckoninAnd why it's okay to find “family” outside your family
If you’ve ever lost someone and felt like you were losing more than one person in the process—this one’s for you.
