Living with Grief Before Loss – How to Find Peace During Difficult Times
Can you mourn someone who’s still alive?What would you say if you knew time was short? In this honest and deeply moving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia shares her experience of “living grief” as her 91-year-old grandmother faces an untreatable illness. This isn’t a conversation about death — it’s about life and how we choose to show up when we know time is limited. Radhi opens up about the emotional complexity of loving through loss, the power of presence, and the spiritual and personal awakenings that emerge when we’re forced to let go before we’re ready. You’ll hear reflections on generational wisdom, family dynamics, spiritual detachment, and the importance of asking hard questions before it’s too late. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “living grief” might be the hardest kind — and how to move through it. How regret is often born from inaction, not circumstance Rituals that ground you when you feel helpless The emotional, physical, and spiritual impact of anticipatory grief Why presence is the most powerful gift you can offer The healing power of memory-making, even in grief What it means to detach with love — not avoidance This is an invitation to pause, feel, and live fully with the ones you love — while you still can.
