EPISODE 13: The Stages of Grief: Pain & Guilt Dying Laughing with Jessimae In this episode of Dying Laughing, Jessimae unpacks one of the heaviest stages of grief: pain and guilt. Recording from her sister’s garage, she reflects on her own guilt around not being there when either of her parents passed, and the obsessive cycle of woulda’s, coulda’s, and shoulda’s that so often follow us through this stage of grief after loss. She also shares listener submissions about the guilt of missing funerals, making the impossible choice to remove someone from life support, and even yelling at their dogs. Through honesty and humor, Jessimae shows how guilt can teach us something...if we don’t let it linger forever.
