Grieving individuals often feel isolated, as societal expectations and the medical model can lead them to believe they should be "over it" by a certain time. This pressure can create a cycle of loneliness, where people stop seeking help, thinking their ongoing sadness is a personal failure. The conversation highlights the flawed narratives surrounding grief and the importance of understanding that the issue lies not within the individual, but within the messages they have internalized.
