In the latest episode of the Colorado Podcast, brought to you by Overcomers Counseling, we delve into the complex and often misunderstood world of grief. We explore what grief is, why we experience it, and how therapy and counseling approaches can help those who are grieving.

We begin by examining the nature of grief. From both philosophical and scientific perspectives, we discuss the reasons behind our experience of grief. This exploration provides listeners with a deeper understanding of this universal human experience.

One particularly intriguing aspect of grief that is discussed in this episode is the emotional reaction of anger. Drawing on insights from an article titled "5 Reasons Why Grieving People Get Angry", we dissect the relationship between grief and anger, providing a nuanced perspective on why these two emotions often coexist.

Our conversation then turns to the therapeutic approach to grief. Using the resources from Overcomers Counseling's dedicated pages on therapy for grief in Aurora and Colorado Springs grief therapists, we highlight the role of counseling in navigating grief. We also share some affirmations that can be helpful during the healing process.

Lastly, we address a common phenomenon associated with grief - its intensification during the night and early morning. The discussion is informed by insights from the article, "5 Reasons Why Grief Gets Worse at Night and Early Morning", shedding light on why grief can feel more overwhelming during these times.
