Grief changes us in ways we do not choose.

In this episode of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast, Heather Stang and Amanda Palermo explore Step 7 of the Mindfulness & Grief System: Allowing Transformation. This step looks at the tender question many grieving people ask after loss: “Who am I now?”

Heather and Amanda discuss meaning-making, toxic positivity, post-traumatic growth, identity, journal review, and why transformation cannot be rushed or forced.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why “grief as growth” can feel hurtful
  • The difference between meaning-making and toxic positivity
  • Why transformation has to unfold in your own time
  • How grief can change your identity and sense of self
  • How journal review can help you notice what has shifted
  • What post-traumatic growth really means
  • Questions to explore what you want to keep, release, and become


This episode is not about finding a silver lining. It is about allowing yourself to notice what has changed, what still matters, and who you are becoming after loss.
